Skill Assignment on Hotbar

wondering how people handle this. The movement button is on the same button as a skill. Noticing that it seems i miss a cast when i’m clicking to move. Is the only way around this to use keyboard buttons? I tried that and it felt real wonky.

There is a sort of ghetto work around. Put a cooldown skill in your movement button esp one that you dont mind if you accidently cast. When a skill is on cooldown you will only ever move this way. What you cant put on movement button is a skill with no cooldown. This is not good. Some skills for necro dont work well for it. I was trying to figure it out and I ended up putting blood mist on mine.

Option for Sorc is Ice Armor for example.

The problem with this method is if you need to move or you will die. For this you can use force move. I am with you. I dont like the keyboard movement so I am left click to move for life. I could never change as I too used to this so I just put a CD skill in there and call it a day and then die an extra 1 in 20 times or so.

Try binding a key to Force Move if you haven’t already, it’s fine but you do need to use a new key. I usually use space and rebind the dodge, feels ok - or bind it to a mouse thumb button.

If you have a programmable mouse, that can help as well. For my melee character I keep move/basic as M1. For my ranged character, I use the game option to separate the commands - move is M1 & basic is M5 (thumb button).
