There needs to be DPS class for people has carpal tunnel/rsi ?

[Drakeos]

So SE needs to think about people who has suffered from RSI/CTS and develop a DPS class for people who wants to enjoy end game contents/raids and such without hurting their had due to complex rotation or fast button mashing ?

Given the length of fights in the endgame, and the necessity to keep pressing at least one button every 2.5 seconds or sooner thanks to oGCDs, a class like that would be impossible. That said, with what we do have, you can tailor your user interface so that your controller or keyboard shortcuts for your hotbar go to buttons that are easier to press, and you can take steps on your own with ergonomic hardware.

Alternatively, and this is going to sound trolly, you can learn to play with your feet and a controller if your hands are no good. There's a few players out there who play without hands, because they do not have hands or do not have functioning hands, so they play with their feet.

I don't think that's realistic.

I think using macros may help you. I have a friend that plays with controller and uses macros because it hurts his hands after a while to button mash them himself. So you'd be able to have one button perform 3 buttons attacks (as long as you don't interrupt them with another button or movement if the actions require casting (and therefore no moving).

That won't get them through end game tho.

There are a few foot controllers and pedals you could probably hook up. You would really only need three of them for combos and then use modifier keys to switch between combos. Everything else could be done on a keyboard and mouse or controller with really low APM.

Do not do this in end game content. Macro-ing GCD abilities causes significant drift, thus outright losing you several casts throughout the fight. In casual content, people aren't going to notice or necessarily care all that much. But in EX and Savage, they will notice, and will definitely care.

As for the topic itself. There really isn't a realistic way to achieve what you're asking, especially in endgame content. At best, I'd suggest looking at tanks or healers who lack a more complex rotation.

I have carpal tunnel in my right arm and I don't really have a problem with most jobs in normal content. I don't do Savage, but that's more out of laziness than anything else.

I don't think a DPS class will ever be in the cards, but there is ways to help alleviate the pain and enjoy EX/earlier savages. I have hand issues with my keyboard hand sometimes and when it flares up, I will swap to something like healer and click with my good hand instead.

Well, no, they don't HAVE to do anything. Video game companies can't be expected to just develop VR brain implants or whatever for people who are blind, for instance.

If a game isn't to your tastes, just find another one, instead of expecting developers to bend over backwards for you.
