Default Enchanter key binding setup

What key bindings work best as a chanter? I'm pretty new to class, and it seems like you need to be pretty active. My lazy 4 spell binding I use on other caster just isn't cutting it. Any recommendations for bindings that let you use all of your spells efficiently?

here's mine but everyone is different.

1 - Tash
2 - AoE Stun
3 - root
4 - mez
5 - slow (or charm or fear if needed)
6 - nuke (or AoE mez if needed)
7 - gate (later - Theft of Thought)
8 - buffing / swap

Nothing is set in stone and you might need to rearrange if your find yourself in a different situation.

I don't bind any spells on any characters. I use Alt + Gem number to cast. Gotta get assist, jboots, indoor clickie, and pet commands on key binds. Sense heading is bound to 0 and right turn.

For spell gems, the most important spells go 1-4, mez, root, stun, bedlam, etc. I normally put tash on 5, maybe slow or invis on 6, tot on 7, mostly charm or gate on 8 or cycle it for whatever buff I'm doing. All of that goes away if I'm on a raid where CC doesn't apply and then I just keep buffs up in most slots that aren't tash.

shift 1-8 are spells because I don't care for alt
shift q-r are also hotkeys for spells 4-8

Right hand free for mouse/snacks

Only semi-related but sort your spellbook if it isn't already and make some hotbuttons to jump between the pages. Enchanters swap spells a lot in the middle of fights.

Has anyone tried binding to number pad or is mouse control too important?

Number pad is for movement and look by default.

I have Alt-<x> AND Ctrl-<x> bindings to cast a spell gem. It works with left and right alt/ctrl.

I use all these combos quite often, depending on how my hands/fingers are positioned on the keyboard at the moment I need to cast.

Most commonly used (and most important) spells always in the first few gems - so if I'm using the mouse, I can still easily cast them with just the left hand.

Spell lineup is

1 lvl 4 mez
2 tash (can be a swap slot)
3 root
4 ae stun
5 ae mez
6 swap slot, mostly Calm or buffs
7 charm
8 theft of thought or swap slot if fighting mobs with no mana

All you guys are crazy to not have your swap slot be the first gem. Feels so much more fluid with a clicky.

I never died because I casted C2 a second too late.
