Hello,
I ran into a big problem today, the last D2R patch removed the ability to bind our abilities to mouse wheel. What on earth were they thinking for removing such an important piece of hardware on PC?

Why, why this was changed? it worked fine for last 20 years, and now you turned it off? what is the reason? Lets change everything what was good in this game, starting from key binding and in the end, let’s take off runes and rune words, add auction for selling items for real money and do torment instead of 3 difficulties, and the paragon - the best feature ever, needed it soooooo much
sorry for sarcasm, but really hate this change, wanted to play early in the morning before work, and I just got nervous because I just cant play, all the characters are using scroll wheel, my mind set is stuck with old key binding and it’s so uncomfortable for me it’s hard to explain

PLEASE SOMEONE READ THIS AND FIX THIS BECAUSE IT IS F-ING R*****ED. I have been using the wheel for skills since the game came out and even before that. Removing such a basic function is surely an oversight. I don’t think I’ll play again soon if this is not fixed.

i have the same my orb and teleport are on mouse wheel im super mad they made that change
Not sure what you are all talking about. I just tried to remap previous and next skill commands to the mouse wheel and it worked just fine.
@Rahtgaz it only works with next and previous skill, but not with Skill 1, 2, 3 etc. Like it did all the time before. I always hade my Mousewheel Up for Skill1 and Mousewheel Down for SKill2 and now I cant bind this anymore. PLEASE THIS MUST BE FIXED!

Most likely a bug. I can use it my mouse wheel to scroll and also to bind a spell on it.
Edit: Now I got it. Wheel up and down can not be used to bind a spell. For other things like opening a menu it still works.
Edit 2: Also tried to turn off the the spellbar and instant casting and tried all possible options of “default key bindings”. The possibility was obviously removed with the latest patch.
Thanks god i though i was the only one to doing this since the vanilla game i used UP for a specific spell and DOWN for another one…now it’s gone… … …WHY !?
My keyboard was used with chill and now i need to completely change all the way i playing and use my left hand like a chinese bot…hard to explain but it’s clearly not ERGONOMIC for me to change every 2 sec the spells i use the most with the keyboard…
For exemple with my hammerdin before i use the UP for Teleport and DOWN for Concentration Aura and that’s it…80% of my gameplay was with the mouse !
I seriously think to stop playing this game if they don’t give back this possibility…
Please Blizzard !

Maybe next they will remove the mouse entirely and/or the keyboard. Then they will talk some more how they don’t want to make changes to the original, classic game and only “improve” it. I guess I just won’t play anymore and hope they will fix it one day instead of making it even worse.
