...but its not as cool as posting "clickers are bad" on the forums.
the reality (which is a wonderful opening that infuses your comment with undeserved gravity) is that people like to argue about pointless and silly things.

By all means, continue clicking. I'll just be running through you and running circles around you because I turn twice as fast as you can.

Just keep telling yourself that clicking is just as efficient though,

I switched from clicking to keyboard about a year ago but I still have trouble strafing and backing up during combat as there is no mouse control for either. How do you elitist keyboard users strafe/back up while using abilities?

In this game unless you are trying to be some bad *** in PvP its not really gonna matter. With the GCD as long as it is, ability wise it doesn't really seem to matter which you do.

TBH I'm more of hybrid, keybind important things I use all the time, turn with my mouse, things I don't use very much I just click.

The only advatage you have at binding is that you can use skills and move at the same time. That can be useful in encounters and PvP, but if you're a skilled enough clicker you can do good enough to not make it a huge difference.

In the end: play the game whoever you want. If you want to maximise your performance then you're gonna have to bind a few skills though (main combat ones).
All 36 of my skills are bound to some hotkey, and trust me, its 20x faster and more precise.

I used to agree about the keybinding thing (I use a hybrid method + gaming keyboard) UNTIL I realized that my former guildie in WoW, the GM and main tank, AND raid leader of the server's #2 progression guild was a clicker, and keyboard turner.

So its really BS, i bind 8 abilities, click the rest, which are all situation and still pwn in PVP.

You might be well served to get a gaming keyboard like a g13. The world of SW and any other MMO will open up to you like never before.

Use the joystick for forward, backward, strafe left and strafe right and use your mouse for turning all while having four fingers on your left hand available to hit as many as 20+ keys.

Whoever designed it, played mmo's.

Well, everyone that clicked and then tried (successfully) to keybind, never turned back. While no one that keybinded, switched to clicking.

Anyway, it's just a playstyle, if you are used to it, and you are good with it, keep it up. Give it a try to keybinding though, to see how it's like (some clickers NEVER tried it, and refuse to try it..)

I'm not a clicker anymore, but stop saying to people "click is bad ecc", let them play how they want..(especially if they are on your opposite faction! Just joking )

I can understand if its towards the slower clicking people because I know a few people like that and it annoys me to watch them play :P
I used to be a clicker.

Then I wanted to pvp back in WOW.

I learned not to click and actually managed to stay alive AND heal my comrades.

Now I just casually pve and never pvp. I don't see how I ever managed to do it with keyboard turning. Oh wait....I really was terrible at it when I keyboard turned.

It took me about a week to fully train myself to use the mouse to move and keybind my abilities. I went through the process kicking and screaming but my husband insisted I at least try. I'm glad he did.

If you are a clicker then you keyboard turn. If you keyboard turn then you will always be slower. It's physically impossible not to be.
