I learned this the hard way at Brayflox (tanking the dragon), where my keys only allowed attacking OR moving.. after that, I learned that binding keys to the numpad allows my left hand to stay in WADS and the right hand on numpad to use abilities. With that setup I make it so I never “lock” on mobs, so I can just run out whatever direction.

Expanded hotbar is not mandatory at all.

I've been playing for years, and never needed it, I also clear all savage and extremes no problem.

This goes for healing, DPS or tanking.

Gamepads are designed for gaming, and this is in fact a game, its as viable if not better than keyboard and mouse. You just have to find what you're comfortable with and become efficient.
