Feel every game wether moba or more, is always about movement. Even if you can kill anyone if nobody can catch you then you will control objectives

Don’t know if I would call the mobility in this game “over powered”? I think it’s more like a skill that can be developed and improved with practice.

i will be doing a full wvw commentary video soon using similar situations

after years of playing mmos i learned where the most accessible keys are to my left hand. Takes a lot of practice and muscle memory but you are right that is more of an essential thing to all games

I also have been playing GW2 for over ten years and I wish I would have known the importance of keybinds and movement tricks when I started playing, because it’s harder to learn after you have already developed bad playing habits and muscle memory. Anet should point all new players to videos like this one.

Yes that was the the reason i gave up on this cancerous game

try to do your damage rotation while moving, find a dps golem or something you can hit for a while and just hit it while moving around. Ideally you also have keybinds that are near eachother so your three fingers in that area can trade off pressing buttons

No way

most of the video is not using action cam yes

go to an invincible golem in either pve or raid test zone, and use your combos and skill rotations WHILE moving in all directions. Make sure you can do it going backwards, change direction. Mostly takes time if you dont practice it this way.

Left mouse to detach the camera from the character, than about face. You'll run towards the camera while still holding W (your S key sees almost no use with this technique, and will still make your character run backwards if you use it).

something that wasn't mentioned in the video but you can try for that In the settings there is a toggle for action camera that will give you a crosshair when you turn it one left click becomes your 1 ability/auto attack right click becomestargeting if action camera is turned on and you start pressing S to run backwards your character will turn around unless casting/attacking same thing with strafing I very much believe that action camera is underrated

​@@eranoszrill8907 action cam is fine for some things, and might help some players learn to move more fluidly, but it's generally considered to have a lot of limitations for endgame content, particularly depending on your class. For example, you lose the ability to place AoE behind you (or even to the sides) with the camera forward, which is a big detriment in situations where you need that forward facing or wide-ranging awarenes. You also have to home in on every single enemy you want to kill instead of being able to rely on a blend of targeted and manually placed attacks. Overall, it's a situational tool with some fun quirks rather than a full alternative. Which isn't to say that skilled players can't pull it off! It's just that if you're looking to make life easier, action cam really isn't that. You're going to have to put work into compensating for its drawbacks.

@@TottWriter I feel like people get this wrong a bit I agree with the AOE placement but you can still use tab targeting and your shots will try and hit the selected enemy you don't need to be precise with it just because you have a crosshair on your screen and for those situations where it limits you quickly switching out of it to place 1 aoe is more then doable To me it just feels like people are just very very used to more traditional mmo controls so they dismiss it as lesser i presonally have an easier time because even in a crowd i can aim at what i want, target that enemy and shoot while with tab targeting i might have to cycle through a bunch of enemies in a crowd and need a different key bind if i accidentally miss it and cycle over it or i have to cycle through them again

its from the hall of monuments gw1

meaning you can get it only when you did your chores back in GW1.

no because that already exists and its action camera, and you can do fine with it, but you can do better by doing these things, and every competitive game has these small mechanics that you need to optimize beyond the core games mechanics that make no sense, if you just want to play the game then ignore this, but it assumes you want to learn how to get better not just have the game play itself

lol its from tales of phantasia, an ocremix called koan of drums, its my theme

@@Vallun Tales of Phantasia, of course! God, I haven't played that game in ages, no wonder I was struggling to place it. Thanks! *Proceeds to relisten to that entire game's soundtrack and then the whole Summoning of Spirits OCRemix album again because damn nostalgia is a powerful thing.*

probably because most games try to use similar keybind layouts so its easier for gamers to pick up a new game and wasd is the simplest one

Wasd is decent. Actually better would be to play on something like rdfg, leaves more stuff on the left side for your pinky to hit. Your setup with f2 doesn't work on many keyboards, the function keys are just too far away to be usable at all. Casting everything with your thumb alone sounds slow as hell...if you're just spamming a rotation, fine, but when you gotta improvise and react in pvp, thumb would need to do too much work at once.

In spvp he's like 3k something lmao

lmao true

Yeah I 99% used a combat action camera and bind the shift key to toggle it on/off for quick casting certain skill to certain area.

i think targeting AOE spells with action camera can be made easy if you toggle the option that doesn't let you target them past their cast range I'm always using action camera and with that placing AOEs are fairly easy but sometimes might requere a flick but that's a skill that you can bring from FPS games and such of course to each their own

thats fine, when you are ready to move off training wheels though youll know where to go

@@Vallun ouch. I feel called out by that burn. Lol. But yeah... I recognise my weaknesses. Mobility is something I need to relearn or at least try too. I'm severely dyslexic, so one of my problems is disassociating movement directions with camera direction. Maybe I can mix the two. I'll have to try it. One thing that did revolutionise my mobility was simply disabling double tap dodge and using a key dodge instead.

I swap between depending on which setup I have or what I feel like using. Action cam is really nice for directional skills and easy movement, but if you want to hit consistently with skills that are directly cast, especially charge abilities like those on warrior's great sword and shield, it's usually better to use tab targeting so you don't miss. Ultimately just do what works best for you.

What's the issue iuse action camera and I'm.slapping in pvp ha

​@@___m16 sure

Same situation here - lucky if its 250. I am playing with 300-400 sometimes 600 and I love PvP.Just recently got the ascension backpack though.
