Health Concern – Carpal Tunnel / Hand Pain
Health Concern – Carpal Tunnel / Hand Pain
I have a large concern with where the game is headed due to Spell Haste and the need to mash specific keys up to 150 times a minute to maintain a proper rotation. I currently have been suffering from pain on my fingers from having to cast Lifebloom on Live so frequently and in such a specific rotation to maintain the stacks. And now you guys have made it where I have to cast it even more frequently to be an efficient healer. In addition, on my server I’ve heard of several people leaving the game due to hand pains, including tanks and other healers.
So I think there’s a way around this, that would greatly aleviate the problem of having to mash the keyboard so often. Windows can detect it, and obviously it works when holding down keys to run, so programming wise this should be perfectly doable. Please make it so that to cast a spell repeatedly, I can just hold down the key. This way, I can hold Lifebloom and select different targets, and it will just cast it for me. That way Mages can hold down their normal cast button and not have to continue to press it. That way tanks can spam Devestate or whatever they do and just reach over to press the other buttons they need as they need to instead of mashmashmashmashmash Press mashmashmashmashmash Press.
Please, save your raiding subscribers the pain of needing to cast so often. Impliment an easier way to cast spells on a repeating basis. It’s doable, and it’s becoming a health concern for many raiders I know.
