Arrow keys, the action bar and targeting

[MeowyWowie]

Just to clarify a little bit more on what I mean so there's no misunderstandings:

• Give us yet another option for target modes (target mode d? lol).

• In this mode, remove all forms of targeting from the arrow keys.

• Allow the arrow keys to control the action bar only.

• Allow us to cycle through actions with arrow keys at any time, without having to first target something and "activate" the action bar. (The only exception here is when we have a menu open, just like it is now.)

This will help a TON for the keyboard and keyboard/mouse players that don't use the arrow keys to target.

*I realize this option will lead to the help texts for actions to remain displayed on our screen at all times in its current state. If possible, also let us toggle help texts on/off (I think you've mention that you will be adding this soon?) and/or have help text "fade" away after 5-10~ sec of action bar inactivity.

EDIT (for sake of keeping this to the point):

I'm really tired of accidentally changing target with arrow keys, as well as the action bar 'deactivating' when a monster dies.

Please permanently bind arrow keys to action bars or copy World of Warcraft already or something. (i.e. 1-9,0 ; Ctrl+1-9,0 ; Alt+1-9,0 for action bar)

This is really my biggest issue with the game currently.

WoW lets you bind your own keys. What you're suggesting here has nothing to do with WoW.

If you want to get literal, the i.e. was an extension of the '' ...or something."

Adding to MeowyWowie's suggestions.


Single right click targeting which functions as double left click targeting.

Sticky targeting where left or right clicking on anything other than another enemy doesn't deselect your current target.

A targeting option which disables self targeting via left or right clicks.

A UI option to disable your own name display.

Yes, they need this ASAP.

Since this still won't be addressed in 1.19 (or did I miss something?) it's time for a bump!
I very much agree to the above and it would increase my enjoyment of the game by OVER NINE THOUSAND!

This.
I hate it when I have to click an action before I can scroll down to my second line. It slows things down big time.
The action bar should have an option where it's active at all times. If I click 1-10 I can cast/action whatever I have there without the need to "activate it".
