Standard vs. Legacy Control issue. Let's have a discussion

[Azurewrath]

I've yet to see this. I do however see people not using Legacy Controls that can't dodge for crap. Player skill = player skill, no matter the form of control you use. Everyone adheres to the Global Cooldown.

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.

It's using Ctrl as a modifier that's the problem, I think, because it's used for other non-hotbar commands. At least, a while back (as in months ago) someone said that they changed their keybinds to use a different modifier and they stopped having this problem.

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.
