I was aware of doing lots of short-range whirling blades to speed around the map (its a very smooth playstyle with a high attack speed raider, a la old howa ranger). I was not aware of leap slam working in a box within the screen, making diagonal pythagorean movement more optimal (a la Civ/SMAC movement).

Yeah I figured out the WB thing a while ago just through spamming the skill, but kinda just assumed a lot of people did the same. The only thing I knew with leap was that using it with 'attack in place' made it feel better to use.

Since he didn't talk about flame dash I can mention that shift-attacking gives you slightly greater range. This sometimes lets you cross gaps that you can't cross without shift-attacking (most obvious examples are the act 2 broken bridges).

dis astranagant posted:Kinda weird that he did all his wb demonstrations with faster attacks and none of the other attack skills with it. Also neither of his claims for base wb attack speed match what GGG has shown in patch notes. Lines up with testing, tho. I wonder what GGG changed in 2.3 that went from 2.2 seconds to 2.6 when nothing about the skill is that long.

The same is true of leap slam, but then I can't think of any skill in the game that doesn't work slightly better with shift held. I even do it for namelocking attacks most of the time.

shift click doesnt work for golem skills its a pain when all your buttons are taken up by active skills, and you put golem on your left click, and when you num lock attack in place, it means you can no longer move with left click

I figured out the diagonal Leap Slam through play just from how much different straight vertical vs diagonal movement is with that skill, had no idea about the Whirling Blades modes though. Also how is Lightning Warp so bad? I'm having trouble thinking of a situation where I wouldn't just rather get a level 1 Flame Dash for gap-crossing and relying on Quicksilver and other movement speed increases for running around instead.

LW is good in lab and while levelling (to cross the oriath river), but yeah dash with faster casting is way better

Blink Arrow is one of the most underappreciated skills, because it lets you cross a lot of stuff that other movement skills can't do at all, like jump up the ledges in Kaom's Dream if you find the right spot, or cross the chasm in Act 5 Ascent where you run to the Oriath teleporter. Actually traveling with the skill is balls, though.

Insurrectionist posted:I figured out the diagonal Leap Slam through play just from how much different straight vertical vs diagonal movement is with that skill, had no idea about the Whirling Blades modes though. Lightning warp has a hard cap on delay, requires a 4 link and a helm enchant to get there, and has a long cast time that requires a lot of investment to get down. It's pretty comfortable on my dual apep's berserker but without that kind of cast speed investment it's just kinda trash. You can't even stick an arcane surge in it because all the -duration applies to the buff. And that's not even getting into the fact that the melee move skills give you access to fortify.

Phobophilia posted:shift click doesnt work for golem skills Ha, didn't think of that. They really should add an option to invert the shift behaviour. Not that I could use it, holding shift half the time is ingrained in my muscle memory at this point. I usually stack all auras on a single button, then reassign it to golem once they're cast.

I put all my skills on the same overall control scheme. Left click for primary skill, middle mouse for totem, right click for movement skill. Q gets my secondary skill, W gets a utility skill like OoS, E is for active buffs like blood rage, R and T for auras. If I have more than two auras I reassign them after casting. I don't run builds that have more than three active skills.

Well a few exceptions apply, like RF. That gets click to move. I just hit shift for 99% of the skills I have bound to left click and it's fine.

My wrist-issue-laden setup: Move on left click, auras/heralds on middle click, golems on right click Buffs/cast-and-forget poo poo on Q (totems, Blood Rage, Orb of Storms, whatever). Primary skill on W and E so I can fatfinger whatever I want unless I need the extra keybind, which hasn't really happened so far. Movement skill on R. T is whatever's left. If I'm not using any of these I just leave them blank. Spam-clicking or hold-clicking with my mouse hand is bad for me but I can move fine without feeling anything. However anything to do with heavy inventory management or spamming currency is basically a no-go (I use my left hand for jewel/fuse spamming and keep it to a minimum). I can't clear out my standard stash at this point unless I want to kill my wrist.

i use spacebar for moving because it's what I used in diablo 3 under force to move. gently caress holding down your left mouse button to move. And then I use a side button on my mmo mouse to open my inventory and then another mouse button for the shift attack since I do that a lot and hitting shift is annoying vs a side button on the mouse. For my left click I try to put a skill there that doesn't go off unless you hold shift click. Golems are one of those skills.

Bought a Vaal Pathways, accidentally triggered it in the wrong area. Bought another Vaal Pathways, triggered it in a correct area that had multiple vaal areas possible  Any kind goons wanna carry me through shaper and uber atziri in the couple of days after Thanksgiving? You can have all my remaining currency in the league but I'll need to spend both my exalts on the Mortal Hope fragment.

I think the most important thing is to always have flasks and movement on the same buttons. You 100% depend on those being musclememory. The rest isn't really that big of a deal. These are my personal "locked in" keybinds: LMB - Force move MB4 - Enduring cry if available, else secondary movement RMB - Primary offensive skill Q - Main movement 1 - Instant healpot if available, else utility flask 2-4 utility flasks 5 - quicksilver if available, else utility flask TheRat fucked around with this message at 20:06 on Nov 22, 2017 |

I've had the same ARPG keybinds for 5+ years, like hell am I gonna redo muscle memory just for POE. Right Click = Primary Skill A = secondary skill D = movement skill S/F = buffs Shift = hold still I can't figure out why games have defaulted to something other than left hand on ASDF. Like, do people not use the home row for keyboard anymore? This past league i rebound my last skill slot to spacebar, so i don't have to move my hands from asdf. I only use it for stuff like vaal buffs or golems anyways. Edit: relevant to this discussion

I refuse to use LMB as my main force move as long as it’s also a “click on things to loot/activate” button. Misclicks sink ships. But then since LMB is worthless for any skill other than golems, I generally have two force moves: W for general use, LMB for lazy one hand gaming.
