On another thread on this forum about WoW Sins I confess I was a clicker (all the time) and a keyboard turner (most of the time).
This was true in vanilla, tbc and wotlk (the last expansions I can consider myself a true raider) I used to have a lot of macros and keybounds and did not click or kt but after WotLK I never did anything else seriously because life hit like a truck and I became what I had sworn to destroy, a filthy casual.
RL keeps punching and after years (paying the sub but not really playing) I finally start to have more free time in my hands, so, here I am and I noticed it never occured to me I was, back again, clicking and kting.
Started playing the game I was 24 now I am 45.
So yeah… wondering if there are more ppl like me out there.

No shame, just happyness!
I don’t know how warranted clicker hate even is. I know a parse-obsessed mythic raider who clicks most of his abilities. Seems to be working out fine for him!
I find mouse turning really throws off the groove (and more importantly turns too much). But then I also can’t use a controller well because it means moving the camera independently, so maybe I’m the problem.
Between being an altaholic and not participating in any activity where fractions of a second are meaningful, I remain clicker and a mouse turner. Keyboards are for moving forward and typing messages.
As long you click within the GCD there is no difference in 99 percent of the cases, the other 1 percent is usually when other things are happening nonstop.
Strafing is a good ability to master though regardless if you click or not
I follow outsidexbox, and on a recent list video where they talk about sad backstories of villains, Jane mentioned clicking her abilities enough where it caused her to buy a new mouse. I had to pause the video and back up to that because I swore I misheard her. But, she did say she “clicked” her way though WotLK, and I still respect the woman, but was immensely surprised.
My partner was having a rough time in dungeons so I helped them find a handful of additional key bindings. They’re doing much better now.
I feel sympathetic for folks who rather click. This isn’t the game for it as far as end-game goes. Delves might be just fine with the right class but I do wonder what the death ratio is like in there. Being able to react is a must in WoW’s content.
