Q key for basic attacks . .

Im not really a fan of this and yes im sure that it could just be key bound to LMB but I guess im just trying to understand the mentality behind it. I feel like default could have been LMB to begin with but is there maybe some reason why players should keep it at Q. Again i understand its a potentially easy key bind swap but im trying to dive deeper into the philosophy I guess. Just looking for healthy discussion about it and not trolling please. Is this the blend of action vs tab target auto attack classic MMO style? Thoughts?

    Change your keybinds so that your combo button is one. Skips the skill on button one and put your first skill on hot bar 2. That's what I'm gonna do this weekend.

    In my book any action I have to perform often should be easily reachable and comfortable to reach.

    I like to have all actions to be easily mapped to my MMO mouse.

    Q for enabling auto-attack is indeed awkward, especially at low levels when combat begins with auto-attack. I imagine at later levels, most people will engage with an ability, and auto-attack would then be enabled from that. Myself, I rebound it to 1 and treat it like an ability. Perhaps the default for ranged weapons should be toggle to remain on/off. I understand why for melee classes they did not do this, as wildly swinging one's weapon without purpose while not at range has its issues.

    Anyone saw how to change RMB as mark?

    Right now I am using the extra right click on the Logitec G600 as my attack button. In practice this is getting held down for hours at a time on ranger.

    I am just holding down an extra key to get that classic MMO style back at this point.

    I have also resisted the temptation to write a "mouse side" macro that spams the attack button as a toggle when I hit my opener. I could completely circumvent the the system and make it classic if I wanted.

    I would not have said this three years ago, but I think they should just lean more into classic mmo combat. None of the action stuff they have done feels very action combat at this point.

    This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.

    Anyone with auto-attack ON is not to be trusted.
    Too bad, you lose! The correct sequence was blood - blood - blood.
