I was playing with only one hand yesterday (becouse a was bored) and why we cant cast the ground AOEs with only the keyboard? I dont mean to remove the point and throw the aoe where you want. I try to suggest a second way to throw it, one to trow the ground aoe in place.
When you grind, usualy you throw the ground aoe over yourself because the mobs are over you. Could be nice a 2nd way to throw the ground aoe by hitting again the same hotkey.
Something like:
1st way to throw the ground aoe skill: press the hotkey and then move the mouse and left click in the place you want to throw the skill.
2nd way to throw the ground aoe skill: press the hotkey and then press it again to cast in place. Maybe with a little cooldown in the middle of both press to make unable to cast by accident.
Well, another idea about ground aoes:
When you throw a ground aoe it first show a circle (target area) and then you must move it with the mouse and left click over the place you want to cast it. This is ok, but what happen if you regreat about the skill you want to cast (some times the scenario change fast and you must change fast your strategy), the only way to cancel it is to press escape or left click (start to cast it) and move (but this take more time).
Here i suggest to give the option to cast targeting skills or buff when you have the targeting circle open.
Well, if you are playing with the PB, you can cast the class skills when you have the ground aoe circle open. Then, why dont make it for the normal ground aoes and improve the game play?
Another idea (this one comes from a guild matte): make posible that the bolts keep throwing (after the CD pass) if the player keep the button pressed. Only make it for the keyboard, and maybe just when standing, that way it wouldnt be too abusive. We were thinking that physical classes can leave their characters hitting during a raid/boss but mages must be pressing the same button over and over again... boring: at least let us keep the same button pressed all the time and let the char keep shooting until the button is released.
Again, maybe add that the char must not move to be able to do this, and cant queue skills until they release the button: meaning, you cant press 2 skills and leave them pressed.
Mm, an alternative: lets us right clic over the skill, this produce a box around the skill, that make it cast in a loop: it automatically cast, then cd and then cast again.
Of course, to prevent botting and stuff like that, there should be some rules.
If the player moves, the lock breaks: this way one cant run around shooting without press the key.
If the player cast another skill or drink a pot, the lock breaks.
If the player auto attack, the lock breaks.
(Edit): give it a rest to our pour fingers, press the same key for hours in raids will cause us future problems in our fingers to play mmos
Our keyboards will thx you too XD
