Q: GF Block keybind

Hey,
was wondering, is it possible to map the block ability to the right mouse button?
If so, what happens to the right button skill that appears while block is up?
Thanks!

    Yes, I believe the block mechanic is called the "Utility Power" and you can remap that. The attack on your right button is then unbound and you must assign a new keybinding to it.

    I think I sprained my left pinky finger from using the "shift" key to block on my Guardian fighter.

    I don't blame you for remapping it, I ended up doing the same thing.

    Changing the keybind to a mousekey is especially useful for cleric, mage, and rogue as using the utility with a directional is key to their survival. Trying to hit shift and a directional arrow simultaneously is not very effective.

    Another important key to change up imo is the Push to Talk.

    Interesting. So what is good to use as the second at-will?

    I love being left-handed when it comes to keybinds. Use my thumb on the arrow keys for movement and have 24 or so keys to press without moving my hand at all (alt and ctrl bound to mouse).

    I mapped my Block to middle mouse button and it worked very well. Had my 2 at-wills on left and right mouse button, and block on middle.

    What about multi-button mice (i.e. MMO mice and such)? I assume we can bind block/shift to one of my mice buttons? I don't actually have a Naga or a G600, but I do have a mouse with multiple buttons.

    I have a 5-button mouse, and was able to bind commands to buttons 4 and 5.

    One thing to watch out for is that if you have custom mouse button mappings for general Windows use, you might need to create an app profile for the Neverwinter client (GameClient.exe) with the default button mappings so that the game can recognize them properly.

    The 12 side buttons of the Naga equal the NumPad keys, so those definitely work for re-binding. It's very lovely. :)
    Unsure about skills and feats? Check the Master List of Class Builds!

    Naga is the best dps investment I ever made.
    In my WoW days when I went from clicking to mouse keybinds my dps increased by 10-15%

    For Neverwinter, I have my encounters mapped to NUM 1,2,3 my dailies to NUM 4,6, and my tab ability to NUM 5.

    For your roll/shift/teleport ability, you just have to smash a direction ability twice, so I never hit shift, unless I was blocking.

    I always map block/dodge/sprint/jump to side buttons on my mouse. Works great.
