I can only play with my right hand. With a Logitech g700 (13-function mouse), what raid roles could I effectively play?

I actually play with the same mouse. One handed play is tough for sure. I play with a very unique set up myself. I play with the g700 in my right hand, and a razor sabertooth xbox controller in my left hand. What works well for me is to use the analog stick in my left hand for movement/dodging and the keys on the underside of the controller as modifiers (shift and control). Using this set up, I bind 5 of the mouse buttons to 1-5, then I bind weapon skills to 1-5, utility to shift+1-5 and class mechanic to ctrl+1-5.

Using modifier keys like that is a good way to get more actions compressed into fewer keys (I also have combos like ctrl+shift+1 for other actions etc).

What is your current ability? Are you able to move your character while casting skills? Can you quickly dodge if need be?

Power engi might not be too bad, you can certainly do a basic rotation, although the full rotation would be difficult.

Condi ranger could work. The problem is condi ranger uses weapon+utility skills + f1. If you bind 2,3,4,5 to you thumb buttons that will cover the weapon skills. As for utility. The 3 buttons near your pointer finger + mouse wheel left and right could cover the 5 utlitiy. Or if it is comfortable, you could bind one of your pointer finger buttons to shift, and use a modifier key set up.

Thanks! But what’s a power engi and condi ranger? I assume “engi” is “engineer” and “condi” “condition.” I’m still kinda new. ^^ Btw, I don’t have HoT (I know it has the raids, so I might get it), and I can only use my right hand.

Yes condi ranger is a ranger who does damage via conditions. You can check out builds at this site:

Here is power engi rotation

Here is condition ranger rotation

These videos demonstrate the rotations as done by some of the best players around. So they are very fast. You dont have to be this fast to raid, but you do need to be able to press each of the buttons either by buttons on your mouse or by pressing on screen button (which can be slow/difficult).

Additional hint: there are USB foot switches and foot pedals you can use in addition to mouse and keyboard. These provide 2-4 additional keys that can be pressed independently from the mouse. Look an Amazon.

Edit: these pedal keys usually can be configured to press any key available on a keyboard, so they are really universal.

That’s actually a great idea, not even for people who can only use one hand. I can imagine putting the jump button on a pedal

There are many times I have considered getting foot pedals lol. But ultimately I play gw2 from my couch and reclining is just too comfortable.
