Guild Wars 2

Is there a way to let me turn with my mouse without having to move? I dont have turn left / right bound to anything and that means if an enemy goes behind or to my side I have to take a step forward to face them.
I know right click to turn camera and character but when im not moving right click just turns the camera.
Thanks for help

There’s no reason you shouldn’t be moving. You’re not an NPC.

Turning with the mouse right click is the fastest and easiest way. If you have a mouse with extra buttons you could keybind Turn Left/Turn Right on it, but that seems like even more effort.

I don’t think what you’re asking for is possible.

But I’m also having trouble imagining situations where you’re in combat and taking a step forward is a problem. Combat in this game is very action-orientated, so in most cases not moving would be more of a problem.

You can bind right/left turn to keyboard keys, but that’s quite slow. You can also bind about-face (180 turn) to a key.

If you’re careful you can also quickly press both mouse buttons or the right button and W and you’ll turn but move forward less than a complete step.

In combat I don’t mind taking the step. That was just an example to explain what I wanted. The reason I want to turn with my mouse is jumping puzzles. Sounds dumb but I like to face the way I’m jumping. Doesn’t really matter if I can’t, I cope not looking the way I’m about to jump

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking for, but I turn with my camera. If I walk forward (by using R for autorun or W) and move my mouse side to side, my character will follow the camera direction. I can also run if I hold both left and right mouse buttons down. Both of these different ways of running means I can run around without using my left hand.

I’m not sure if the camera setting is default or not, but I think it’s something to do with checking/unchecking the Use Free Camera setting in options.

Use “about face” I think its the x key by default.
