Key binding like in D2

[Nicbloub]

Hi,
is there a way (mod maybe?) to bind my skills just like it did in diablo 2 ?
I want to press the skill key to 'select' it and then use it with right click. Is that possible ?

while i have you there, wich version of the game should i start ? Direct 9 and so on ?

You can put a skill on the LMB/RMB or hotkeys to use. Just right click on whichever one you want and assign a skill to it.

If you have x64 then the default option, Direct 9 is for older machines.

DX9 mode is primarily for people with older graphics cards. You should only use it if your graphics card doesn't support newer DX or if you encounter problems running the game.

You can check the workshop and Nexus Mods. However my initial thought is that such a mod is unlikely to exist since its not a tweak but a fundamental change to the controls. It also seems a little niche. So your relying on someone else who also wants this scheme making it and thinking its worth publishing.

Just to expand on MedeaFleecestealers statement you can map skills to your MMB and side buttons. Typically this is going to give you attack skill on LMB and 4 other mouse buttons for attacks that need targeting (i.e. occur where the mouse pointer is placed). Number keys 1-4 are good for skills that don't need a target but are cast often. Where as 5-0 are where the infrequent skills go like always on buffs.

4 mouse buttons for skills that need targeting and 3 keyboard buttons for semi frequent skills not requiring a target is enough for probably most builds.

thanks for the replies i guess i wont find what im looking for. Still wondering why games ditched these controls.
Other question, does anyone else have poor performance with this game?
I play ESO and everything is fine but in titan quest its kinda laggy idk, its not smooth at all.
My pc build is:
i5 2500k non-oc
RX 570
8gb ram DDR3
SSD 500gb + HDD 1to

I feel like i should destroy that game but i can barely get a 60 fps stable.
any tips ?

At a guess it might be your CPU. TQ always had performance issues. It can have slowdown due to physics and entering new area's. For the most part though it runs just fine on modern hardware. Except Atlantis which is so badly optimised its criminal lol.

One of the main issues is that being a very old game / due to the way it was created it likes to mainly run on one core. Other cores are used but barely. So you can situations where core zero is maxed causing you problems whilst the other cores are barely used.

This link below explains what is going on. It also gives you a manual work around via Task Manager. In addition the chap has also created a tool to automate the process. You just run it and toggle the fix with a hotkey. As with anything use at your own risk.

Even if you don't want to use the tool or manual work around you can use the process to determine if it is your CPU limiting you. One of the early comments is from someone with your CPU and bad performance.
