Guild Wars 2

With the WASD movement instead of move to click, I have no reason to use the mouse while in combat. I use my left hand for movement and cycling targets, and the right hand on the number pad for skills and weapon swaps.

As it stands, in order to use a ground target skill, I have to move my hand off the keyboard and onto the mouse to aim. It definitely breaks up my fluid motions.

Does anyone have a better setup or any suggestions on how to use ground target skills without needing to use a mouse? I almost always want to use these on my target, but even a way to center on self or just a little in front of me would go a long ways.

this is the only option/setting i know of related to this. not sure if it helps but you can try it.

go to..
options – general options – combat – fast cast ground targeting (click on)

The description reads..

“Ground-targeted skills will automatically cast at your mouse cursor’s location.”

Also if you double tap the aoe skill it will cast it where ever the cursor is. So I guess just leave it in the middle of the screen and it will go there.

You could have 6-0 Bound to Shift +1-5

I use my mouse to move,hold left+right mouse button and off you go ;P

It free QWERT for main weapon and 12345 for utility skill´s.

You don’t move the camera constantly while on the move or in combat or mouseover targets/friendlies?

*shrug* Interesting. I certainly understand the appeal to having both hands on the keyboard for hotkeys paired with movement, but I just cluster my hotkeys around the movement keys and on extra mouse buttons as needed [10 keys in GW makes this even easier to accommodate] in MMOs.

I am almost always doing something with the mouse despite not needing it to move or activate skills. I probably could get away with the "cast at cursor" as a result, but I prefer seeing the circles first.

Perhaps if you tried mapping your keys to reflect having a hand on or able to quickly guide the mouse, you may find more use for the mouse.

However if that ultimately fails to meet your liking, I hope you are able to find a solution.
