Key bind for guard

IMO, using different key binds for Tab Target(TT) mode and Action Combat(AC) should not be required if possible. Currently, you cannot bind the same key to Guard for TT and AC. I would like the guard key bind for both modes to be on the right mouse button. I think that many other people would as well.

In TT, the right mouse button is used to have your character move in the direction that you are pressing (WASD). This function could be assigned to the left mouse button, but that button is used to free look around without moving your character. Neither of the mouse button functions in TT can be assigned to other keys.

If players could choose to rebind all of the above options freely, then block could be allowed on the same key in both TT and AC. If I had this option, I would set the left mouse button to allow me to guide my character in TT (the function that is currently permanently on the right mouse button in TT); and, set holding the middle mouse button down as the way to freelook (the same function that is currently on the left mouse button in TT).

A possibly slightly easier way to program the above (I am not a developer and I'm guessing at this) could be to set the freelook option as a key bind, provide a checkbox to move the function for the right mouse button to the left button in TT, and allow both guard modes to use the same key.

Yeah, I miss the "MouseLook/Free Look" bind from games like Dark Age of Camelot, where I would hold Ctrl to make the Mouse Cursor visible and letting go of Ctrl you would be back in MouseLook (when picking targets in RvR, etc, it was super intuitive).

Tapping Ctrl would toggle Mouse Cursor visibility. I found using hold Ctrl to be the fastest most natural way and be the perfect blend of the two classic camera designs.

I never understood why more modern MMO's have to EITHER force holding RMB to look around or Mouse Cursor be perma locked to a "Action Camera" type of design. I remember WoW being the first mmo that never cared that people were holding RMB for hours and hours and didn't have thins keybind that almost all MMO's that came before it had.

One bind to rule them all,

One bind to find them,

One bind to pick them all,

and on the battlefield cc them.

The better questions to ask would be why there is a block button in the first place. It's entirely unneccesary to keybind an action that should be an automatic thing if specced into blocking. Once skills run out, the entirety of combat is press melee, press block, press melee, press block, press melee, press block. At this point, why even have a block button? Just to fll the rotation? Same with not having auto attacks but instead manuell melee. There is nothing fun about this, its entirely unneccesary input that, as far as i'm concerened, just exists to give the player the illusion of him actually doing anything when skills are on CD. I see no need for manuel attacks or manuel blocking in this combat system what so ever, this isn't an action combat system, it's a TT system. Regardless of rather or not you can change your controlls to AC, that doesn't change the fact that the combat is indeed TT.
