Keybinding Dodge Roll?

[InfiniteRetro.9865]

hey everyone do you guys keybind the dodge roll? I have had mine on shift for a while now. what do you guys do for your rolls?:p

[Irreverent.3594]

Space. Much easier to panic hit.

[AegisRunestone.8672]

Default "V." I use double-tap to dodge and have for years. I'm too used to it to change. XD However, I do turn off double-tap for jumping puzzles. Especially stupidly long and confusing ones--even with a guide--like the SW one.

Same here. V is so incredibly impractical, and panic dodging is more common to me than panic jumping. Though I guess it gets better once you get used to it.

[Sifu.9745]

Middle mouse button works perfect for me.

[kurfu.5623]

Middle mouse button.

[Forz.1725]

The thumb button on my mouse works well for me.

[Skekzyz.1458]

D key right in between strafe right and left. No I don't use WASD, the moron who came up with that clearly had never learned to type.

[Danikat.8537]

I have it set to one of the 2 side buttons on my mouse. It's my default 'panic' button - in GW2 and ESO it's dodge, in most other games it's pause, or whatever other function I might use when I'm going "Ahh! Kitten! No!"

Downside is if/when I get a new mouse I'm going to have to make sure it has a button in the same place or I will die a lot.

[MooTownSnacker.3659]

Double tapper here. But now using V key for Mirage... unless I'm in a panic, then I fall back on old habits and double tap :)

[Wisdom.4712]

Left shift key works the best for me.

I don't even know how to respond to this.

[Stalkingwolf.6035]

double tap.

[StinVec.3621]

Right CTRL as I use arrow keys for movement. Double-tap disabled also.

(I never use WASD and refuse to play games that do not allow for movement keys rebinding, which many ridiculously still do)

I don't understand why any game wouldn't allow you to rebind keys. It annoys me too because I'm left-handed so I typically have my left hand on the mouse and right hand on the keyboard and so many times the default set-up is obviously intended to have your right hand on the keyboard. If anyone's wondering yes it makes a difference. Try putting your right hand on W,A,S,D and then reaching the space bar (which most games make use of). It's possible if you tuck your little finger in but not at all comfortable, especially not for extended periods of time.

(I also don't understand how right-handed people can use W,A,S,D and the number keys at the same time. Again it's possible to reach both but it involves some weird positions I can't imagine would be easy or comfortable.)

In GW2 I have all my skills on the number pad and use my thumb on the arrow keys to move in combat. (Out of combat I run by holding down both mouse buttons or auto-run + right-click/action camera.) But with 10 skills on the number pad, plus F1-4 along the top row, weapon swap, take target and next target (and F5 and special action on the page up and page down keys) I ran out of space for dodge. I could put it on the right ctrl button (which is currently jump) but that could totally confuse me since I use that as a jump key in a lot of games.

"Shift" is my dodge.It's fast and easy reach with pinkie finger.

I have it on mousebutton 4 (quick use with the thumb).

[extremexhero.9178]

left ctrl, as I use shift+ for class mechanics

[ArchonWing.9480]

I use the middle mouse button, though it creates a few oddities while going through inventory.

[Kumouta.4985]

i use E for dodging. Just to make it clear that i don't sacrifice some other important button; Q is my wep swap, ctrl mount, WASD movement, F interact, T special, f1=f1, Z-V F2-F5. 2 mouse side buttons for 1 and 8, 6 7 9 0 remain as they are. I dont know what i even use shift for, but middle mouse button seems horrible for dodging imo since most mouses need a considerably hard push to activate it compared to other buttons, and you need the dodge quickly.

[Wisdom.4712]

To this day I simply cannot comprehend how people use WASD for movement and the 1-9 and F1 keys for abilities, unless they are using an MMO mouse with the numpad by their left thumb. Gosh I hope so or otherwise I'm an uncoordinated mess.

[kamykaze.5904]

I encountered a nice long fall off of a jumping puzzle because of nonsense doubletab-dodge in the beginning , so i changed it to left shift and disabled doubletab.I also think doubletab is too slow and unreliable.

[ShoknAwe.1602]

double taps for dodge harkens back to unreal tournament days, i use V because I use ESDF for movement so V is not a long stretch. I also use A for jumping and space for auto attacks. q for F1, w for F2, R & T & C & X & Z & G & H for all other skills, B for mount

[Ahlen.7591]

Q Heal, E dodge roll.

I developed the habit of holding RMB if I want to strafe from years of gaming so don't need those buttons for strafing.

[Kaltyn of Torbins Deep.294]

Double tap and V for dodge. A & D for strafe, Left-Shift for #6 skill (Heal), Q for #7, E for #8, C for #9, Elite and special action on extra buttons on the mouse. Those rebinds improved my gaming life sooo much! It is kind of obnoxious to pop my heal every time I shift-click some thing to put it in chat, but I'll happily live with that if it means I can continue to pop every skill and attack I have without shifting my hands or clicking on the tool bar. I would go so far as to say that I'm actually a better player now that I was before I remapped those keys.
