Guild Wars 2

A-net can u PLEASE give us option to change slots of our weapon skills.Its really hard for me as a thief who use duel daggers to chase enemy in pvp and spam “num1”-auto atack cause that whould mean i need to remove my finger from movement key which is why they always escape and i just MISS MISS MISS,i know i can move on mouse to but thief requires really fast coordination,positioning and movement and with 4 sec stealth(max) is not enough to catch them.I whould like to replace auto atack with my forth (throwing daggers) skill cause that skills is lot less in use but takes lot better button.This is not troll topic and i dont want comments here how should i play other build or use Razor mouse….chasing some1 and pressing “num1” is just not easy to use and even hurts your finger !Please reconsider this

Why don’t you rebind the keys to something else?

Or am i missing something?

Some people arent good with keybrinding. which in what you suggest likely would be a Keybind combo of keys. Most players dont do that. Thats why clickers are the vast majority.

but 1 is auto attack- why are you pressing it?
BTW you are not allowed to bind multiple keys to one button- one button one action.
he just meant binding the attack key to something you can reach more comfortably.
You can make your auto attack anyone of your weapon skills

A mouse with the buttons on it such as the Razor products or something like are a wise investment.

Over the years many games have increased the number of skills available and while GW2 is actually fairly low on actual skill options compared to most MMOs in market, it never hurts to have gaming hardware that can be used elsewhere.

I could not go back to playing with a regular commercial mouse without losing my mind.

I also have several skills bound to various different buttons for ease of use on my keyboard. No macros of course.

If you invest the time and money into decent gaming equipment you will elevate your game play. It would take some practice and patience but the reward is worth it if you want to get the most out of your hobby.

If you do decide to invest in a gaming mouse I suggest you do some research and also try to visit a place that will let you demo them for a bit if at all possible. Getting a product that is comfortable, and well built will make the transition easier.

Outside of my suggestions, rebinding your skills on the key board is one solution, but it will not eliminate your current problem entirely due to reach and key location issues if what you are describing is the issue.

Good luck and don’t be a clicker.

Morrigan there answer well.I didnt said i want macros i just want some key that i can reach faster,using my forth finger to activate auto attack its not comfortable at all,its slow and painfull =p.As for your question Morrigan even though 1 is auto attack,after you use “num 5” to hit and go in stealth or any other stealth skill,auto attack stops and he doesnt hit anymore which is the point cause thiefs usually use that skill from front to get in to stealth and then run around on his back to attack with auto attack.Problem is that when im behind some1 if i move my forth finger to press “num1” and hit my “A”-left movement button has no finger on it anymore so every1 just can move on the left side and i miss…if i use third(middle finger)then i need remove it from “W” and that means i stop move wile they dont…and using mouse double click to move is hard to control.It kinda makes it unfair since all other classes just need to stay in front of u and spam skills wile thief requires combos and putting most important skill on “1” makes it hard to to it.Btw im not clicker and im not clicking on any skill,i dont see where u got that idea chiefdiablo

Because i want to change only my first set of skills,rebinding in option what u saying also changing skills for your second weapon set and even down skills,besides even if u do that skill icons stay the same so its confusing.Anyway i dont want to go in option and change keys for every character i use cause i need this only cause of first skills set for thief.All i want is option to set skill in slot that its comfortable for me to use,option that we already have on our “right side skill slot bars”

You’re welcome.

Change auto-attack to 4th skill. Change number one skill to G or H (or some other key). Learn to use G or H (or some other key on all weapons and characters). Problem solved.

By the way, the icon will show the change to whatever key you bind it to, so it won’t be confusing, after all.

So I play a mesmer and want to set up my weapon skill bar to have my clone and phantom skills to be the same key with both of my weapons. Changing my key bindings wont work because when i swap weapons the location of my clone and phantom skills change
