Scroll wheel functionality stripped away with latest patch

Bug Report
1

So back in the original d2, and again in d2r up until maybe 2 days ago, I was able to have a skill bound to each scroll up and scroll down on my mouse wheel - but after implementing the new cast bar patch, it seems I am no longer allowed to do this. Since it is something i have been using for over 20 years now, it has become an involuntary reflex to switch skills on my hammerdin from vigor to conc- but now I can not and it doesn’t feel right

Try reapplying your binds to all of your skills in the speed skill menu.

When these bug reports began showing up, I posted in one of them that the mouse wheel was working perfectly for me. However, the players creating these threads were NOT clear as to exactly what they meant.

I have ALWAYS had my mouse wheel set to Previous and Next Skills. My individual Skills were bound to other keyboard keys.

After reading enough of these threads, and some posters reporting more detailed information, I now understand what the issue is:

Single Skills CANNOT be bound to the Mouse Wheel after the latest Patch.


In D2:LoD you could:


I’m not sure if you could in D2:R before the Patch. But, evidently you could.

After the Patch, you cannot bind a Skill to the Mouse Wheel (Up or Down).


So, with more understanding of the issue, I have changed my stance on this.

Please keep the changes with the Quick Cast and Active Skill Bindings Bar.

But, add back the ability to bind single Skills to the Mouse Wheel !

100% keep the new casting system, but still let us bind skills to mouse wheel!
