Trying to use the number pad for skills but instead of using skills they still work as arrow keys. I have my keyboard set on numlock so if I type, only numbers are produced, but if I turn numlock off then the keys with arrows work as arrows moving left and right. Even in game, with numlock on and I type it produces numbers but when im not typing they work as arrow keys. It makes no sense, anybody have an idea?

same for me, it would be awesome if AL had keybindings so we could change which button does what.

+1 to this idea. I am more used to "W A S D" from many hours of fps games. The problem with the skill button being directly above the wasd is the fact that i am not able to hold down w and d while charging a skill. Maby with some practice it would work but i think it will be alittle more convinient one of our hand could use wasd and the other using the numlock buttons for skills/pots

I use 1, 2, 3, 4, 5(pet aa) where 1-2-3-4 are skills depending on their place in my skills map. I use the arrow keys to move though..

Technically speaking, it is a completely separate input value than the regular 1 2 3 4 5 keys and we only support one key. Those ones are more commonly used and thus were chosen.

I believe it's possible to find a 3rd party application that "remaps" keys on the PC that can take the input from any key and make it internally press a key of your choosing which would then allow you to assign a NUM pad key to the regular number keys when they are pressed. There is potential for a small amount of lag from this and we also can't recommend any third party tools for such a thing but google may be able to help you.

Best of luck!

Maybe instead of 12345 it should be the keys GHJKL used for the same actions.. Along with ASDW for moving it'd be way easier than overlapping hands in order to click everything and *usually* mess up ..
right now most comfortable for me is to use mouse for shooting :/ Tried moving with arrow keys with right hand, shooting with 12345 left hand, very uncomfortable :D
Also.. using 3rd party application that is kinda complicated for some of us to understand in the first reading of the sentence.. are you sure it won't be recognized as something that can be identified as "against ToS" at some point?

I can't guarantee that, usually that is worried about something like a macro program which is used for botting. The safest course of action is no action.

Came upon this on some discussions, how about the use of auto clicker (set to click at say 50ms) does it contributes in anyhow to ping spike, server latency or any network issue?
