Do you play with DAoC like a FPS (han on the mouse), or are you a keyboard player?

[Glacier]

Mouse+Keyboard.. ofcourse.. cant really see it being done any other way :]

 

[Javai]

Default setup really, arrows keys to move around a bit but usually I have control pressed to enable mouselook. When inc I realease control, try to target the sorc/healer and mezz.

delete = face
end = stick
page down = sprint

Thought that setup was just me, I also have insert bound to autorun as on my keyboard its just above those keys so when we get inc, hit that, get target hit face then mezz. Don't use mouselook much, else I'd end up the motion sickness I get from fps

Never ever use mouse for actually clicking a qbar - only for targetting.

heh i actually changed to wasd now so much better than arrow keys, much more freedom to do many more things - but getting used to different keyboard setup gave me a headache for about a week :/

and tbh, mouselook is one of the most important things for a cc'er.. or well, any class really - when we're moving i'm 80% in mouselook if not more, and when fighting its still 30-40%ish

well i changed it one time and the headache wouldnt go away for a few days so i changed it back - but then for some reason i started getting used to the new controls while actually having the old ones changed it back after a while and then it was pretty much fine after a week

Don't like it to much, could have been since I had it on mouse1 tho which screwed my targeting.

[Dawn]

[Airmid]

Use the wolf claw 2 keyboard

With WASD movement, Q and E for strafing and all useful buttons (stick, face, sprint) bound to the keys on the left pad. I also use a 5 button mouse and have right click as mouselook and left click as camera pan, extra button 1 as numlock and extra button 2 as reset camera view. It means I never take my left hand off the keypad on the left of the keyboard, or my right hand off hte mouse except to type.

Helps for quick reactions in PvP
