The 3 forces of WoW
When playing WoW, you have 3 things to contend with:
Movement (moving your character out of AoE or into position)
Casting Spells
Targeting
The default control scheme is crap. Bye.
I’m trying to figure out how to control these 3 things. Playing with a new layout. Having everything hotkeyed, leaving my mouse free to target whatever I need and to use for movement.
I still catch myself clicking on my spells with my mouse button, but I’m trying to train myself not to. In easy fights, I almost don’t need the mouse at all (using wasd to get into position, then cast spells with hotkeys and tab for targeting).
Sadly 30 buttons isn’t enough. That seems a bit insane to me. While its boring to click just a few keys over and over, 30 different spells (during combat, there’s other things like buffs/etc that are not hot keyed because they are out of combat mostly) is pretty nuts.
