Are you a clicker?

[Deleted]

clicked for 3/4 years...was doing fine but deep down I always knew keybinding would improve gaming but didnt care enough to do so until
I keybinded and as with most stuff once you try something better you cant go back
so I started with basic 11keys+shift for active keys
a while later 11keys+shift+alt
another while later 11keys+shift+alt+ctrl
now im considering switching to a mouse with buttons on the side for more keybindingness
back then I would have never thought myself able to play with that last part 11keys+ 3 modifiers but you do end up learning!

in the beginning you're like
''man Im playing like a monkey,why am I keybinding again?''
then ''oh well still trying,but hey I noticed keybinding this kinda helps''
then ''getting used to this,I might actually make it! still kinda miss my mouse''
then ''I'm telling you,you dont know what you're missing mate,switch to keybinding your stuff,it WILL improve your gaming''

tip: theres this program called keytweaker,lets you change and move keys on your keyboard,I moved my ctrl to spacebar for easier access,so this might help out some people trying to keybind

No, because no clicker can or ever will be as fast as a person that uses key binds.

I clicked for a short period of time when I first started playing the game. I slowly transitioned to keybinding pretty much everything. I now have 30 unique keybind locations, not including shift, alt, and control modifiers. It took a while to transition, but I certainly feel much more responsive than I did when I first started doing PvP.

I generally laugh my butt off when i see a keyboard turner in a bg, because that generally means hes a clicker and easy prey

keybinding all the way

Truuuue dat

I don't key bind anything that if I accidentally enable is really bad. Basically I don't keybind Hymns on priests, lust of mages/shammys, health stones, potions, etc.

you cannot accidentally use a health stone nor health pot if you're at ful hp. i have both of these on a keybind because clicking takes too long and more often than not, i'd die.

Keybind for sure, the only thing i click are things like buffs.

[Flaks]

Yep! I'm not saying which is better. Obviously some people will always click, and some clickers are damn good at what they do!

The top rated 3v3 on my server features a 100% clicker - Anyway, not to derail, I'm merely seeing what peoples playing preferences are

Is he a BM hunter? LOLOLOL jk but seriously that's ridiculously impressive.

I keybind 99% of my stuff. Don't have pots/flasks keybound.

An amazing clicker is better than a mediocre keybinding player. But this place isn't for that discussion.

And yea, I went through that evolution too. At first I couldn't get over clicking a vast majority of my skills. Then I realized some keys are really easily accessible so I started using them. Got used to Shift + 1/2/3 really fast back in tbc because I enjoyed stance dancing on my warrior a lot. Still keyboard turned. Stopped keyboard turning only because I'd use my mouse to turn and that automatically switches A/D from keyboard turning keys to strafe keys but it'd juke me out whenever I'd forget to press my mouse button for some reason.

Bound space bar + shift a LONG time ago so I didn't find out that it can be used to descend on your flying mount until like a month ago.

I keybinded even that Extra Action Button that pops up during certain fights. I just need to keybind a way to loot now...
