Scyndek.5273:

Stopped watching 3 minutes in, I have one piece of advice for you..

Fast Cast!!!!!! (In options called fast cast ground targeting, the spell casts where your mouse is instantly when you hit the skill) Why oh why don’t you use it, especially being S/D those milliseconds or even a second when casting dragons tooth could mean the difference between hitting or missing.

Fast Cast does not affect Dragons Tooth, do you even play the Elementalist? Dragons Tooth is a targeted ability with 900 range, it will fall above your target or 900 range away if you have no target.

Also about fast cast, I could never use it on my ele, especially when using staff, and besides you can always hit the skill twice quickly (see how much longer it takes to hit it twice) for much higher accuracy that that small mouse pointer that easily blends in with the ground most of the time. Furthermore, if you have fast cast disabled, you will be able to tell the range on your skills much easier, since the AOE circle will turn red when you move it out of range.

Ahdeeyah.1342:

1,2,3,4,5 weapon skills
w,e,r for movement (no need for backwards key)
q heal skill
t weapon swap (I play other characters who can do this!)
a,s,d utilities
f use/loot
g elite
z autorun
x,c,v,b profession skills
mouse thumb button – dodge

I changed to this specifically for gw2. At first it was really awkward. Now, I have zero problems. I really recommend it. Also, don’t forget that you can move forward by holding down both mouse buttons. This will free up your left hand to push anything you want. I got used to switching between my left hand and right hand to move forward depending on whether I needed to click on something or push a button. It is easy now.

I also had fun using a keybind setup that was difficult for me at first. Maybe that’s just me though

You never feel the need to roll backwards? It is true that back peddling is bad but rolling backwards seems too useful to do away with completely.
