WASD

[Cap'n_Rocko]

Hi new player here.. How to switch to WASD for movement controls? Having movement, attack, and loot bound to 1 button is really bothering me. I keep attacking on accident when i want to move and i take more damage.

It's been a while since I've visited this issue, but I'm pretty sure you cannot change it to WASD.

There's no support for WASD movement in the conventional sense.

You can however set "Move only" (it's a skill you always have) to the left mouse button, and set up a key you have to press as well as clicking to pickup items to avoid some of the unwanted movements.

Press the little sword icon in your bar and then choose the feet/footprints.

just unbind attack from lm and put something thats useful on movement there like enduring cry.
now u auto heal when u move instead of attacking.

i get why people like wasd movement and nothing against it but click to move has benefits in a game like this. its just silly default also binds basic attack to it.

set left click to move only. that way it means move and also move to this thing and grab it. should solve the issue hopefully. set your different skills to other buttons. there is no need for 'default attack' in this game.

Not in your options, but your skills bar in the bottom right hand corner.

Down on your skill bar on the bottom right where skills go you will see qwert skills. Right above those there should be 3 other skill options. The far left one, which should look like a sword, is LMB click on it. It will then pop up options, find the feet one and that will force you to move only. As for picking up items its been a while so I cant remember exactly where but there is an option to only pick up items when ALT is held down. This will not remove items from being shown on screen, you will need a loot filter for that, but it will prevent prevent you from picking up when trying to run.

WASD movement would be a neat feature. My first ARPG experience was Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance on the classic XBOX and it did non-pointer movement very well. Also doesn't POE itself have a console release? I think it should be doable. I doubt it'll happen, but I'd enjoy having WASD or full controller support.

You can bind movement to a certain button in your skills tree. At lease that what I did.

Of course they need to add WASD, when you turn on the controller, the mouse stops working, so you can’t remap the buttons, such as in undecenber for example

Why did you necro this thread? Don't you have a WASD thread already?

The PoE devs have explained they won't add this for PoE1, they cited it as a technical difficulty but I think it's just laziness. Doesn't matter though because the devs have confirmed that PoE2 will support WASD movement with mouse aiming.
