Is there an force attack button ? What are the workarounds?

Posted: 03 Jun 2022 02:11 PM PDT

My problem is a bit specific: I am playing a monk with thunderclap, and I would like a way to attack mobs without having to click on every single one of them.

I have a very hard constraint: any the other spells in my build cannot be bound to the mouse left click button, so I am forced to have thunderclap as my left click.

Why is this a problem? Let's review how left and right mouse buttons work:

Left button

  • Can be used to move.
  • Attacks an enemy if you click on him.
  • Attacks an enemy if you click on him, keep the button pressed and move the cursor elsewhere.
  • Does not attack an enemy if you click to move, keep the button pressed and mouseover an enemy.
  • Does not attack an enemy if you click an enemy, kill it, keep the button pressed and mouseover another enemy.

Right button

  • Can be used to move.
  • Attacks an enemy if you click on him.
  • Attacks an enemy if you clock on him, keep the button pressed and move the cursor elsewhere.
  • Does attack an enemy if you click to move, keep the button pressed and mouseover an enemy.
  • Does attack an enemy if you click an enemy, kill it, keep the button pressed and mouseover another enemy.

The problem with the stand still button to force attack is that if I am a bit too far, I will just keep attacking nothing. With thunderclap, force attack using the stand still key does not make much sense, and it feels very uncomfortable. Thunderclap as left click is a pain.

So if I bind my thunderclap to the right button, it is perfect, I just smash enemies but having my right button always pressed, and my movements/attacks are optimized and feels comfortable. But in order to have thunderclap in my right click, I have to give up an other skill and put something useless as my left click.

Does a force attack button or mechanic exists? (when pressed, automatically attacks if you mouse over an enemy, and moves towards him if necessary). In a sense, right click = left click + force attack button pressed.

Do you see a workaround ?
