Add separate keybindings for walking and running

The toggle button sucks. You know that there are analog keyboards that let you register different inputs depending on how hard you press a key down?

If WOW had multiple keybindings for walking and running, you could completely eliminate the walk toggle and just let people choose whether they want to walk or run depending on how hard they pushed the key down.

ok but why

What keyboard on earth has switches that are more than just “on” or “off”?

Look up the Wooting optical keyboard.

Precision movement for tanking position and for moving to get at the exact dead zone/range you want and many more reasons.

Some keyboards do look into analogue keyboards.

I run 99.996% of the time. I walk 0.004% of the time. Basically I walk during some escort quests, 2 or 3 times a year. Why do I need a separate key that I only use 3 times a year?

how often are you toggling that this is an issue?

You’re not even on an rp server.

It has nothing to do with RP. It has to do with precision tank positioning.

Just add it to the game, Activision. It’d take like 5 minutes.

This is definitely this biggest issue with WoW. Thank you for bringing it up. I prefer to stroll leisurely around spamming moonfire as a battle chicken, and I hate looking all panicked when I forget to toggle off run.

Just keybind walk/run. It’ll take 1 flinch of your pinky. When you want to go slow hit your keybind. When you want to go fast hit your keybind. Why change the game? Lol

Safety Dance ain’t even out yet, son.

Retail needs it too.

Backpeddeling as a tank is considered bad because its too slow… and you want to go slower?

You really dont gain much in precision, just get better at movement going slower is usually a sign of a poor player.

Actually it’s not. Sometimes you just want to slowly move a boss around. Grobbulus, Venoxis, etc.

then get better at moving, its not hard.

Also Venoxis can be moved slowly or the better way is to do short bursts of movement so you get out of the pools quicker and then you stop moving.
