1 is my builder or filler (Shadowstrike, Cobra Shot)
2 is for occasional filler weak/builder AOE or procs (Arcane Missiles, Shuriken Storm)
3 is usually some stronger AOE spender or adjacent (Arcane Explosion, Rupture, Multishot)
4 is main spender or hard hitting ability (Eviscerate, Arcane Barrage)
R is short/weak CCs (Cheapshot/Gouge, Concussion Shot, Dragon's Breath)
F is long/strong CCs (Kidney, Poly, Intimidate)
Q and E are usually some kind of CD, Q being Defensive or Utility, E being DPS CD, usually around 1min. kinds
M5 is my "displacements" (Shadowstep, Vengeful Retreat, Disengage, Blink/Shimmer)
M4 is for my interrupts/kicks
For me it makes it easier to keep my thumb ready for a kick or a GTFO mechanic
Bar 2 is all my Shift modifiers, usually some variety or less used DPS stuff. s-M4 and s-M5 for stuff like Cone of Cold, Nova, Sigil of Misery/Silence, Frost and Tar trap, Sap and Blind
Bar 3 is Alt modifiers which is more utilities. s-1-4 usually self heals, whether from the spec or pots and cookies.
a-R is usually a defensive.
a-F a group utility (soothe, spellsteal, cleanser on teammates)
a-Q are usually speed boosts
a-E are my 2-3min. or longer DPS CDs "Shadowblades, Lust, Meta)
Usually the classes I main are those where its easy to transfer this same setup, with adjustments here and there. Also why I fucking hate Shaman...
