SAM keyboard tips and buttons used, recommendations

[Aru BWK]

Hello guys, recently I'm leveling a SAM, what are your bindings or what could you recommend? I saw some guides but they often end with a mouse with a lot of buttons.

Here are mine, and they only have two optional mouse buttons

Three bars (always have at least three bars for classes)

Top bar is ctrl+1/2/3/4/5 q, s, e, r, t, f, c
Middle is Shift+1/2/3/4/5 q, s, e, r, t, f, c
bottom is 1/2/3/4/5 q, e, r, t, f, g, c

I tend to use 1-5's as buffs both offensively and defensively, since SAM is a keyboard you'll really just have to start finding space where it's available
q/s/e/r/t/f/c the shift and ctrl variants I use for attacks. I always try to keep to a theme and usually f, shift F and ctrl F are my aoe combos, C and its counterparts are reserved for the big finisher moves if available.

That's just what I use, really do whatever makes you comfortable and what you like. A couple cons with my setup is you lose a lot of normal keybinds you'd have for getting to menu's or targeting or navigating so you'll need to adapt to that, and secondly without practice it can strain your fingers especially on more complicated classes like SAM.

Using F1-F4, your 2 thumb buttons as well as scroll up and down is also another option for rebinding keys. Even more so if you have a hypershift (i.e Razer Basilisk). Z and X are also pretty decent if you don't have a cluttered layout as the one above.

This way you don't need to use 5 which is pretty annoying to use in most MMOs if you rely on more than 24 keybinds. Tilde is another option instead of having to use 5.

I bind my mouse Thumbkeys to Shift, Alt, L-Alt and Ctrl. Other than that, it's basically this:

1-5 are key combos, Shift 1-5 are modifiers, Alt 1-5 are AOEs.
QERTYFGC are buff, mitigation or important keys. The more important and often used, the closer to WASD it is.

That way I can simply hold my mousekey instead of having to reach for Alt, Shift, etc. Basically in the end, do whatever you're comfortable with, while keeping in mind that you always want to keep a hand somewhere near WASD. Mouse movement is great, but you can't always count on it.

I have chosen something similar but simple.
1/2/3,q,e,r, f, g, z, x, c, v
Ctrl and Shift versions of those buttons too

I don't have good aiming with 1/5 breaking the main combo.

At the moment I feel comfortable thx for the tips guys.
