It may never have affected you, you might not even have realized it, but keybound abilities in World of Warcraft do not activate until you release the key. This is usually a millisecond difference in most situations, but there may be a time where your key release isn’t instantaneous and the ability will come late.

In your arena matches, that little amount of time could be too late. We’ve all had that moment where a heal just barely didn’t go off in time or a CC didn’t hit quite fast enough.

The addon Snowfall Keypress aims to fix this problem. It makes all of your hotkeys activate abilities on key press not key release. Even if you feel that the little amount of time between pressing and releasing a key will make no difference to you, I would encourage you to download this addon and try it out for a week. Really, what can it hurt?

Head over to the downloads section or to WoWInterface to download this addon.

Playing another character

I have been wanting to start playing another character for some time now. I don’t mean quit playing my disc priest, I just need another character to work on during the “filler” time between arena matches where I just play another game as of late.

I have been thinking of leveling my horde paladin on Dragonmaw and doing some PvE tanking on him. On the other hand, it is pretty late in the expansion and I haven’t taken raiding seriously since early WotLK. Not to mention that I haven’t been in a raiding guild in quite some time.

I think I might go back to my holy paladin and get some PvP gear and maybe find a decent team to PvP with. If I do, I’ll probably have to transfer due to the lack of talent on Dalvengyr.
