Force to move is very important against the world bosses. On Ashava at least, there were plenty of times I wanted to move in close to avoid her scythe-like sweeps, but my Sorcerer would just stop to fire because even though I would try to click around the boss, the pointer would always land on it anyway half of the time.

[@rhysioeren3203]

Couldn't agree more, I also ran into that and had to look for a solution.

[@artemisfrost8467]

Very useful, I definitely was looking for a force move, mostly for Ashava cause of that Barn sized hit box, legend.

[@RubbieRose]

Thank you so much, didn't know it was disabled cause of zoom on mousewheel, you're lifesaver!

I asked for a video of your keybinds yesterday on stream, thank you!

[@realwilliamreid]

This is exactly what I needed. Thanks for the vid.

[@OpticallEffect]

Now that is useful! I hate using my mousewheel for forced move but I'm constantly using a spacebar for force-stand even when I don't need to do it. So unbinding attack from LMB but still be able to attack with spacebar pressed is a big for me. Forward mouse button for evade and Back mouse button for potion. QWER for skills

[@rudaalbuq.]

QWER and where u put the other 2 skills slots?

[@rasto4816]

Mouse button 4 makes a great force move button, with hold position on spacebar and the dodge on "5" or "²" (or whatever you have on the left of your "1"). Don't forget you'll need a button for the mount too.

[@PatOaC]

That's exactly what I have

[@gollese]

I need dodge button way closer than 5 :P

[@Weltrath]

I didn't have a problem with attack/move/interact all being LMB when I was playing my barb, but now that I'm trying other classes, I need to change it. I was looking for some good vids about keybinding and found yours, thanks Wuji. I had already rebound 1, 2, 3 and 4 to Q, W, E and R and made potions 3. Just need to figure out how I want to move around. We need a testing ground.

[@shaolinswords]

Just go into a world boss area it's wide open and no enemies

[@wanxed5088]

Hello Wudijo, Thanks for this video, the wheel mouse for force move is great, I used it in D3 also. But I'm not able to loot by holding left clic + wheel, do you have any idea why?

[@bridge356]

Hi there, I have a quick question. It's probably something super simple but for my basic attack, it shows it is assigned to the left mouse click, but for some reason, I am not able to attack ever since I unlocked a second attack

[@samuelvera5048]

I got force move on left click and attack on A button. That's how I play, it's nice since I used A button for auto attacking in League of legends as well. Also ofc using the Q,W,E,R for my spells and mouse button for potions.

[@gabbonoo]

same, more comfortable. i use capslock(deactivated) or shift for basic attack n left click for move/activate. mouse buttons for dodge(m4) and potion(m5 and/or A).

[@alpahanum3862]

Yeah, i wanted movement like in league where you click (ONCE) and your character goes there.

[@DarkStorm909]

In case someone else is looking for the "Zoom on Mousewheel" toggle, it is now the bottom setting in the Gameplay section in Key Bindings.

[@zbigniewiksinski]

attacking with shift is annoying cuz char moves a little bit, any solutions?

[@SkullEZClap]

Does anyone know if having the 'w' key as force move a bad idea or not?

[@ArmiZ]

Can you have autocast playing with the control? As soon as I touch a control button they are deactivated. I think it's a mistake, can you help me report in the forums?

[@ImInAndYouAreOut]

The video feels more zoomed out? Is there any way to adjust it?

[@Unsub424]

Need some help, When trying to set the force move option to my L click, when I hold shift to attack it won't work.(shift is set in the bindings) But when its set normally it works. This is very frustrating and all the guides how to set it up say the same thing, yet when I do it the shift + attack does nothing. Please any thoughts?

Hi , i've a question for D4 : no numlock is working like D3 ? i tried it and no result .

[@mcvc69]

I am a Rogue, I hold down mouse left button (Puncture) for gaining combo points/energy , and spamming mouse right button for my Twisting Blade, but whenever I click right button while holding down the left button, my character will start moving towards to wherever my mouse cursor is, is it normal ? its frustrating that it will mess up my DPS and miss hitting the boss.

[@Gee_Dub]

I prefer to Hold Shift with my pinky. I also bound my 1,2,3,4 keys to QWER & potion to 1 to fit my hand better.

[@failXDvo]

Would there be a way to do shift click to force move

[@99ToNNi99]

as a moba player forcing walk on mouse wheel is very unusual. i prefer forcing walk with with left click. is there any advantages of having it bind on mousewheel?

[@i-79]

Can I use mouse & keyboard on XBOX's versions of Diablo 4 / Diablo 3 / Diablo 2 resurrected?

[@Schmidteren]

I used to have move only on spacebar. But that is used foe the dodge mechanic. Perhaps I should make the dodge mechanic on A.

[@rolliepixel]

Can you not move with WASD or is there a mod for it?

when did they change force move? launch was crap, so im trying season 2, now i have to click twice to make my guy move and stop. i want to click, move, stop. not click and move, move, move, move. my mouse barely moves and he reroutes, i cant hover over anything or i change directions. i dont want to hold shift to attack either.

[@prodbysh4co]

are you sure it should pick up loot? i cant get it to work did they patch it?

[@Jeepod]

I used to have force move on space bar and no generator build on left click (like a necro aura or something) in d3. generators are almost 100% required now and that stupid dash roll move now makes it that I need to change my setup ugh

​@@Nano32333 makes it so you can assign different button for interactions and the base attack. I'm also on ps5 and I did this.

[@joakimes]

I'm so used to wow/poe/last epoch etc. where you use QWER for spells, that way you can have important and quick access to any utility like potions, portals, scrolls from 1-5. So if you are used to MMO binds, qwer is very much recommended, reaching keys towards me feels so awkward, and I can never get used to it. Make sure to rebind menu keys on A, S, tab map to something u can't miss click. No reason to have those that close to spell binds. No map overlay in D4 anyway, so It's fine to have it on 4-5 G, C whatever. I'm sure I'm not the only one who have ended up in a situation with either map or skill menu open by missclick xp

[@ewave9643]

Dungeons reset 1 minute after you finish them. No more reset button. The green check mark remains whether it resets or not. That is tied to your codex of power unlocks.

If you have a customizable keyboard, you get it in the manufacturer's software. I know that Icue from Logitech provides this option.

how do you sell so quickly

[@gabrielmnt4119]

The way I do it is binding spacebar to force stand still and rebinding the dodge for a mose side button, this way I can force move/interact with my left mouse, while tapping spacebar does the basic attack.

My force move is on W as well, felt most natural because that’s where my hand wrests on the keyboard in most games.

Maybe they could make the Shift button configurable; instead of Shift+left click to force attack, we could do Shift+left click to force move instead.

With mouse scroll as move, isn't it very tiring to keep scrolling? Or is the button being held down?

[@troll3497]

I Want to know as well

[@Cermedia]

You keep scrolling. I'd test it first to decide if it is for you. It can be tiring after long sessions and there is additional wear on your scroll wheel button that some may be concerned about. But it also improves reaction time from what i've experienced and makes it easier to kite.

How do you bind "Shift + left click" for Basic Skill Slot ?????????????????????????????????????????????????

[@Stoogie]

nevermind i found it, just click the seperate keybind button the put left click on move/interact, by default shift left click is basic skill even if nothing is bound to it

[@Shoop...]

Pinky on SHIFT key, Z is force move, X is potion, C is movement/utility skill, SPACE is force move. Movement/utility skills are things I use a lot and benefit from quick reaction like Teleport, Dash, Trample, Leap, or any skill that procs a movement buff. I learned to use the Shift through C keys years ago from some random D3 YT'r and it's the single most impactful thing I've learned to date. Precise movement and control is everything. Console kids can just cry through it all with a box of lil debbies. So, when your mouse wrist starts to ache all you have to do to stop the aching is start using a force move key. You still use your mouse pointer to control your movement and attacks but its the button clicking which aggravates carpal tunnel, especially holding the buttons down for hours. You fingers contract when you tighten the ligament that's attached to it and the ligaments all pass through a sort of sheaf or sleeve in your wrist. Think... the velcro cloth ring you bundle your computer cords with. With over use the ligaments and sleeve get tightened up and it refers all kinds of crazy pain through your hand and up your arm. Feeling wrist pain? Try using a force move key to remove the pain immediately, its holding down the index finger that's doing you in. You just have to train yourself to do it but it's good to learn. Some builds I played in D3 absolutely required it. Like everything else, take it or leave it. Edit: I assign all my 1-4 skills to mouse buttons. You need a decent mouse... I use a Razer Basilisk or Naga

[@bvwalker1]

Thanks for sharing.

[@bvwalker1]

You have Z and space listed as force move. Did you mean space is dodge?

[@Shoop...]

@@bvwalker1 CTRL is commonly dodge or evade in many games so it naturally works well to use shift under the pinky. Setting a force move is the most important thing as it removes much of the strain on your mouse hand. I found that my pinky can't handle that strain for long but my second finger over the Z key can. Try it, my pinky wants to give out after a while.

[@bvwalker1]

@@Shoop... Thanks for the reply. I went out and bought a multiple button mouse like you said, but the ones you mentioned were quite expensive, so I got a Logitech G305 for $39. It has two side buttons and two on the top in addition to the standard two. I figured I could make it work with just the two on the sides and the keyboard. Thanks again for your recommendation.

[@Shoop...]

@@bvwalker1 The mouse I'll be using has three on the side so that's perfect. On the keyboard you can just reassign the A, S, D, and V keys to any skill you want, that way you don't have to look at the keyboard and reach across for a number key.
