Like I said, I use Legacy. I'm not saying Legacy players are bad, I'm saying that every time a legacy character moves their character they aren't auto attacking.

A casual player won't see the difference, but after some fairly extensive parsing, I parse approximately 5% higher on target dummies with a basic rotation on standard. That's equivalent of adding a second fists of fire. In over 50 tests, I have never ever parsed higher on legacy. Never.

In fact, the only thing that DOESN'T adhere to the GCD is auto attacks, and thats where legacy is missing out.

I only use shift as a modifier. Ctrl is my PPT key for voice chat though. Perhaps that did it?

Perhaps. I know someone said something about hitting Ctrl always made their character stop moving, and changing something in the keybinds fixed it.
