I have only one hand for playing; I have a and d assigned to two buttons on my 13-button mouse, but when I try to strafe a foe I lose the target I’m trying to attack and I die quickly. How can I fix this?

What are your A and D keys bound to?

A switch thing on the ides of said mouse. It doesn’t click; it’s pressed either way.

Press F11… and I’ll ask again.

Esplen is asking what game functions A and D are bound to, not what controls on the 13 button mouse.

Oh. Movement left+right.

Even using both hands I lose target a lot. Generally I make a point of hitting CTRL-T when I start fighting something I’ll have to move a lot for.

I have left, right, and back arrows bound to the buttons on the side of my Naga HEX. As it sounds like you have even more buttons available, try adding in CTRL-T and T. That way you can set target on the thing you want to fight and if you lose target you tap T to reacquire it swiftly. It’s not as good as the game locking your target as it should but it’s something.

I think you can also disable the function that clears a target when you click the ground, but I’m not 100% sure as I find that feature more help than hurt, it being much faster for me than tapping the Escape key.
