You can make it as simple or as difficult as you like.

I am the guy in that comic. I swear to the Light, I have tried and tried and tried and tried and tried, but I cannot do it with the mouse. I CANNOT. "Just hold down the button, it's not that hard." It does. not. work. I swear it does not. I turn around, I try to move, I run in the direction I was facing before I held down the button rather than in the one I need to go.

NOOOO I AM A LOUSY NUB.

Methinks that the above begs for Seuss; I shall pen something betwixt the times that I am removing various parts from Arthas/Ner'zhuls/Lich King's anatomy.

Sounds like you're holding down the Left button when you should be holding the right one.

You could also turn with the Left button to see where you want to go while not turning your character and then clicking the right mouse button will make you do a 180 and start booking it the other way.


I also think ranged and healing classes can get away with keyboard turning much better than melee classes. Tanks especially have to be able to turn quickly to pick up mobs that go for the healer.

I will try this. <3 Thank you, Fox. I usually get away with it, because as you say, it's more a thing for tanks than healers, but it makes me fucking useless in heroic slabs and that makes me a sad panda. (A sad nub panda.)

I cannot WAIT to see this.

I cannot turn Ing with the mouse
I cannot do it, grump and grouse
I cannot do it, left or right
I cannot keybind holy light!

(Except I can totally do that last one.)
