We Need Alternate Options To "Left Click Move" Skill Binding

When you bind a skill to left click, you will automatically move if its an instant cast skill like phase run. However that doesnt work for any other keybind. I and many people dont use left click to move because its RSI inducing. There should be another toggle option to force move and activate skill, like there is for "always attack without moving". For example, I should be able to bind phase run to W and also be able to force move by holding the key down, just like you can with left click.

I am totally with you there.
I have played with my current setup for 10 years, starting in a time where instant skills on left click was not the meta and most instant skills didn't exist like they do now ( brand recall, detonade mines ).

I wish we could customize this behavior to any other key. For me even switching it to the other mouse button would help.

I wish we had this feature at all, on consoles :(

I HAVE to point out...binding move to lmb is the OPPOSITE of RSI inducing. It's stopping the repetitive motion by allowing you to hold the button down. Holding is NOT a repetitive action lol. Even WASD movement is WORSE for RSI than holding a movement button down.

This is apparent by your request: instead of holding LMB, lets HOLD W. It's exactly the same action lol.


That being said, I AGREE with your point: all instant skills should be able to be used automatically when you hold down a button. I suspect the reason this ISN'T the case is because there are plenty of scripts and ways to "hold" buttons indefinitely. If you can cast multiple instant skills all the time with no effort thanks to a script...that could be incredibly problematic. I can see it being the same problem that plagues Last Epoch autocasting: stuttered movement, fully automated characters, lag, etc.

Clueless. Not only is LMB move, it's also for picking up items, moving items around, interacting, so on and so forth. There's little to no relaxation for the hand between moving your character and clicking for a myriad of reasons. Playing hours long sessions with LMB movement does in fact put some notable stress on the hand.

Putting movement on W lessens the stress by severalfold, as both fingers now get plenty of off time.

100% agree.
It should be possible to select "Right click for default movement (instead of left click)".
It's made even worse with the block on using Left Click for Instant Skills.
I would like to move with Right Mouse, and use things like Frostblink on Left, for example.
For me this is a deal breaker, I can't get used to using left for movement, and wont; since I use right mouse in other games.
