How about you let people play the way they want to and quit trying to turn people into keyboard warriors. For some it’s an improvement and for others it’s not. I’m sure there are clickers out there that play better than people that keybinds everything.

Everyone is well aware of that. It’s just objectively better, no matter how you look at it.
certainly not in this thread
I’ve said more than once that people can play how they want, but I do object to the outright lies that clicking is as effective as keybinding.
it’s not.
But, as stated earlier, if someone wants to click, keyboard turn, or hook up some means of voice command (hey, a new alexa skill), by all means do so. But don’t delude yourself - or attempt to delude other people - that it’s as viable as keybinding.
I was a clicker for my first month. Then I saw a Preach Gaming video and stopped immediately.
I only click potions and rarely, on use trinkets.
I always macro on use trinkets to other stuff. 2+ minutes, they go on bigger CDs, shorter ones go on main abilities, unless I can line it up with something like pillar of frost, or somehing similar. I’m not a min/maxer anymore, lol.
ARE YOU A 100% BUTTON CLICKER?
Yes. 100%.
How do you do it?
I keep my action bars small using ElvUI.
Can you do m+? Can you get through heroic? Can you pvp?
The last mythic dungeon I completed was in Legion. I think I only ever did two. I didn’t have any issues. I can get through a heroic just fine. I consider myself to be good at PvP. I’ve never had any trouble getting through content.
Or are you just stuck doing low level stuff?
Nope. I’m surprised by these questions, really. I imagine a lot of people click buttons. It’s a bit off-putting to see that someone may believe we button clickers can’t do the same thing everyone else can.
I want to hear your story.
I’ve been maining a mage since 2005. I was a hardcore raider in vanilla, BC, and Wrath - the latter two spent in my old realm’s top raid guilds. I continued raiding beyond Wrath, but eventually fell into the super-casual playerbase. I still PvP and raid on occasion, though I have not done much of either in BFA.
Clicking the buttons just feels more natural to me. However, WoW may be the only game I click buttons in. I played ESO for a time and ESO doesn’t allow button clicking. I never got used to it. It felt clunky and I felt like I just wasn’t any good at that game because of it. (Decent at decorating, though!)
I have complete confidence in myself and my ability to play my class in WoW. Button-clicking has not hindered me in content, or from being a good food and portal vendor, among other magey things.

Havent stopped clicking since vanilla. Get through the content i prefer so no need to bind. Only addons i use are Skada and NPC
I knew a guy who was a clicker because his hands were literally too large to use any keyboards he could find. He parsed in Mythic. It astounded me. He was also in his 40s. Also, he was a jerk, but that’s off-topic.

The OP was referring to heroic, AKA raiding. It appears you really only do low-level content (no mythics or raiding, rank 78 cloak), so clicking would be fine since it doesn’t make a difference in how the content goes.
I’m pretty sure I’m using keybinds since day 1. It’s really easy to get started when you are leveling a new character since you have just a few spells to begin and you slowly add more stuff on top of that.
I guess the risk with this approach might be that you get used to that first set of keybinds and might not be very optimal once you get all your spells. I think that even if you stay like that it’s still way better than clicking, but I’d still recommend to update them at some point to get a more optimal set-up. I’ve done it multiple times, takes me about 2 weeks to get comfortable with a new set.

If clickers were ever to achieve pro status at any point in the game’s history, it’d be now with our half-empty action bars.

My point, if you had read my entire post, is that I have been button clicking for about 15 years now in all levels of content without issue. No need to drag up my armory profile in an attempt to negate my experience. I was rather clear in my post that I do not do end-game content in BFA.
I wanted to make sure there was clarity on what “heroic” meant, because generally “a heroic” or “heroics” used in the sense that there are multiple means dungeons, but just “run heroic” singular means raiding. So I clicked on your profile to see if you also meant raiding; I wasn’t trying to be malicious.
I didn’t see your post saying you only do casual (“low-level”) content. It just confused me when OP asked if you do casual content and you said no, when in the previous sentence you said you actually do.

I’m not limited on the content I can do because of the way I play. That’s what I was saying.
All good, though! I think there is some misunderstanding on both our parts. It’s the internet. It happens.

It might not be optimal according to some but it works for me and my guild doesn’t have to carry me on Heroic Raiding.

Overreaction much?
Some classes like DK where Haste MASSIVELY increases your GCD, it may matter. However, I also used to click and was stuck doing Heroic content or so. Never Mythic pushes or even XP, save I haven’t a Mythic kill still ;(. But once I started keybinding I felt more confident carrying my weight, leading groups, and doing harder content like PvP.
Stopped clicking like 1 month into vanilla when I figured out how hard it was to use backstab on players if you clicked.
Dunno how people do it. It’s so inefficient, especially in PvP.
I used to raid with a friend who did. And hopefully will again when his real life gets less hectic. He’s been away since early BFA and we miss him.
He was pretty good (he shaman healed and DK dpsed 10-man Heroics before the Mythic system with no issue, more recently he’s been a monk healer for modern heroic raiding - frankly he was always one of our better players), so our guild never fully believed him until my husband and I flew out to visit him and his wife. He wasn’t kidding. It was really weird to watch, but he was quite good at it. We sometimes wondered how much better he’d be if he mouse-moved more and used keybinds for abilities instead, but he was happy and if he hadn’t told us we’d never have really known he did, so beyond some light teasing we never cared too much.
Dude was a freak
