Force move key?
Is there a Force Move key? That's the only thing keeping me from switching over from Diablo3.

In other words, is there a key that I can hold down (on the keyboard) that will make me run toward the cursor, without having to left-click to move?

It's not a separate key by itself, but you can set any of the 8 action slots to "move only" as the (pseudo) skill, just like you would choose another skill in it.

If you have that type of issue, it is probably better to stick to diablo3 :)

It is very silly to not have a force move key, especially for Glass Cannon characters that kinda NEED TO DODGE.

this game attack-move is so frustrating...every time i click attack, i have to finish three times hitting animation (my AS is 3.5) and then move, this makes me so hard to dodge damage and watch my character to die

a very very wild guess would be that you use multistrike? either dont use it or learn to handle it.

Even when I agree on your need to have a move key, I also recommend (for later stages in the game maybe) a dedicated movement skill that will help you avoid damage, and potencial one-shot skills.

Skills like whirling blades (if you use the appropiate weapon) or shield charge (if you use a shield) or leam slam, or even lightning warp or flame dash if you like them are a must in every build. one of them, your choice.

I like to link:
* Whirling blades + Fortify + Faster attacks everytime my character use double wielding with that weapons,
* Shield Charge + Fortify + Faster attacks everytime my char use a shield
* Leap Slam + Fortify + faster attacks if I use, for example, a 2 handed mace.


With any of these 3 setups (specially the 2 first ones) you can avoid almost every skill by every monster in game if you are good with your fingers and reflex. Thats why they are movement skills and they are so used by almost everyone with a decent knowledge of the game.


But other players prefer some of the other gems I told you before. Some are also good.


Cheers and have fun out there

Not sure if you noticed, but you're replying to a post from 2017.

There is a "move only" command you could bind into your control slot.
But you probably need to go faster in later stages, since being slow in PoE could be fatal.
I'd recommend Leap Slam + Faster attack (except wand user).

As for Diablo 4 they already has a horse for faster traveling, while PoE still... oh wait, Australian game should have a giant Kangaroo as a mount instead :D

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
