I like having my FoT on the right-click because if I hold the button down I start attacking on mouse-over instead of having to re-click different targets. It's great because I don't have to snipe-click every single mob running around and my time-between-targets is reduced. I've tried switching FoT to the left-click but I just can't get used to it after having the convenience of the mouse-over affect of the right-click.
My problem is that none of my other skills are eligible to be mapped to the left-click button. Mantra, Serenity, Breath of Heaven, Sweeping Wind, and Blind. I am pretty sure the reason is that these actions do not require a target and because move & interact are unfortunately merged with the primary attack. So, I have to take Seven-Sided-Strike instead of Blind and map that to the left-click.
Does anyone know anyway around this? I'd really like to have Blind on my left-click and I really do not want to move FoT off the right-click.
Yeah I used force-move as my primary moving-around method. The problem is that the game still will not allow me to map any of those skills (see OP) to the primary mouse button. The game actually prevents it. I think the reasoning is that if someone tries to move with the primary mouse button and Blind is the primary skill, then the game wouldnt know if you want to Blind or Move because Blind does not require a target. With that being said, I wish they would separate the Move&Interact&Primary actions from the left-click so we could do something like this:
This is actually a very reasonable complaint. Try posting it in the feedback part of the official forums, because I don't think there's a way around it right now.
I tried that earlier today and I couldn't set 5 as a skill key. I could only set 5 as a secondary key to the standard keys, so in this case 5 would be an additional key for the left-click but the skill would still have to be set to left-click...
I posted this on the official forums and a few others shared the same opinion. There was actually another ongoing post about the same issue but no real solutions other than the players pressing Blizz for a change.
I tried two workarounds:
1) Use Deadly Reach with Foresight on the left-click and leave FoT on the right-click. This gave me a way to boost my Sweeping Winds and the rest of my attacks for 30 seconds at a time. This was good because I was still able to use FoT on the right-click.
2) Put FoT on the left-click and Blind on the right-click. I did a couple of runs with this setup and the damage felt great but I'm still not completely comfortable with the mechanics of FoT on the left-click. FoT sometimes doesn't attack if I miss a click on a mob, so I end up holding shift a lot but I noticed that occassionally I forced-standing there attacking but only the 3rd strike of FoT is actually hitting the mob at first because I am not moving into range. This might work but I just need to get used to it.
I did a Siegebreaker MP10 fight using the above to setups to compare to a baseline of my FoT and Seven-sided-strike. With FoT and Seven-sided-strike, I got Siegebreaker down to 30% life before he engraged. With setup #1, I got him to 15%. With setup #2, he enraged at 2%.
I was a bit surprised that Blind every 15 seconds and the constantly-boosted Sweeping Winds was more of a DPS boost that the 18% buff from DR:Foresight that applies to all my FoT attacks as well as Sweeping Winds. Maybe I need to run setup #1 again and give Siegebreaker another try. Perhaps I just had a bad run when I first tried it.
Well, thanks for the comments.
