When I discovered in D3 I could move without attacking an enemy I think that was the peak of happiness in all Diablo saga hahaha. Since Im pretty bad at “clicking”, I wonder if they plan to add some thing like that, of if it already exists in D2, beside of clicking far away in the map and holding the mouse button (this only works till I have to attack).
Also, console players have access to more skills? That’s pretty nice, could we have it in PC? I have some macro keys in my keyboard willing to be used…
Controllers can be used with PC version as well. They give 12 buttons that can be assigned a skill. Pressing the button activates that skill directly; so none of this bind it to a mouse button “2-clicks to cast” nonsense. Controller is far superior in every way, except if you need to accurately place a skill like Blizzard or Firewall, then it sucks.
I really wish they’d give us the controller’s action bar for KB+M users, it would make my year.
p.s. Controller users can also instantly fill up their potion belt with a single click as well (press Right stick when belt is open). I wish KB+M could do that too, as it is a wonderful and very powerful feature.
I didn’y try a controller yet, though heard from many people how it’s good. But on keyboard we have Shift+RightClick combination to fill the belt, same hotkey to fill tomes of town portal and identification.
You mean Shift+Left Click? This moves a single pot to the belt. The controller button fills the belt in a single click (following the pattern of potion types in the bottom row).
Ah, you mean there is a combination to fill the belt with potions from own inventory? For that case we have nothing similar on keyboard, only Shift+Left Click, right. I thought when buying potions from merchant.
Especially if you want look at party screen to check if there is a specific person in the game. Or also if you need pick up an item, identify it and drop it away. Also very comfortable to check if you have learned some skill, how many str you have or what is your current level. And even more comfortable to pick up your corpse from dangerous place, while accidentally picking up some cracked two handed sword near the corpse.
Definitely far superior in every way.
and the other stuff you mentioned is a non-issue, for me at least. You know that due to (I think) a bug that a controller user can pick up loot faster than a mouse user? If you are in a group and someone has a controller who knows what they are doing, and you use KB+M you will NOT get drops under any circumstances.
So I assume that’s why when I’m going to kill Baal on Baalruns, sometimes items just disappear in less than 0.1 second, even unable to see if there was some uniques.
Trash pinata is a temporary solution for group boss-runs for MKB players.
When solo MF, you run multiple dungeons and picking multiple superior/socketed/ethereal/magic/rare items to check it’s stats. You do pickup-identify-drop once per 10-30 sec, hundreds of time. You do it very fast, near immune monsters. Controller has zero options to do it.
