Diablo III – How to Reduce Clicking

diablo-3

Diablo games tend to be very click heavy – click to move, click to attack, click to loot. Diablo 3 appears to be continuing this tradition.

I find this problematic for a couple of reasons:

  • Clicking is overloaded – I might move when I want to attack, for instance.
  • Clicking hurts – I have a RSI that means that trying to play a click-heavy game for more than a short while causes pain.

Is there any way I can do less clicking in this game? Can I move using WASD, for example? If not, what other things can I do to reduce the number of clicks it takes to play? What settings or other strategies can I employ to reduce my dependence on clicking?

Best Answer

You can bind all movement and actions to keyboard keys. You can bind "Move" to a key, and it will move directly to where your mouse is pointed without requiring clicks.

You will still have to use clicking for your primary and secondary skills, but if you use a lot of clicking and holding to attack rather than repeated clicking, you won't have to click too much.

There is no WASD option.
