I'm a casual gamer who's played D2 on and off. I just got D2R (can't believe it's taken me this long to get it), and I'm loving the QOL improvements. One such improvement is the quick cast. I love it... for the most part.

I play Nova Sorc and this build requires quite a bit of potion chugging, and I just realised that it's actually quite difficult/awkward for my left hand to quick-cast and drink a potion simultaneously. My skills are on F1, F2, F3 etc., potions are on 1, 2, 3, 4. To do this, I have to use 2 fingers on my left hand. And my fingers/wrist has to do funny things to do these 2 actions. Even as I try binding the skills to say QWERTY which is just under 1234, it's still a bit strange for my fingers. So, to makes things easier on my left hand, I don't do 'simultaneous moves'. (Still finding that my left hand is kinda working overtime.)

Previously, without quick cast, I'd cast spells with the right hand (mouse 2), and that freed up my left hand to press a key to consume a potion. There's a lot more clicking with this 'traditional method', but I could do cast & drink simultaneously a lot more easily.

Has anyone else here have that problem? Did you go back to playing without quick-cast?

Is there a way to only have quick-cast on for certain skills/keys?

Thanks guys/gals.

Edit: more info on my setup:

• left click = normal attack
• right click = teleport
• mouse wheel up/down = force move
• space bar = Town Portal
• F1 frost nova
• F2 static
• F3 nova
• F4 cold armor
• F5 telekinesis

Edit 2: I appreciate the comments and hotkey recommendations, guys/gals. Perhaps I was unclear, but I feel my initial question is not being adequately addressed. Here's my issue:

Without quick-cast: can cast AND drink potion simultaneously.

With quick-cast: more like cast OR drink. Doing these simultaneously is not impossible but difficult.

Are there any of us who do it like 90+% of the time?

(I am especially curious players who do this in piano-less settings.)

How do your bandmates feel about this?

Would he just vary the melody? Or try to play through the changes a bit more?

Also, are there any trad/swing style players here who have had to change their playing to suit later standards?

• Unbelievably high protein
• Great source of calcium
• Great source of fibre
• Cheap af
• Cheaper than protein powders per gram
• Safer than protein powders (no heavy metals; minimal processing)

I'm Asian. I live in Asia. I'm surrounded by tofu. I love tofu. I can eat it raw or with little prep.

And I never realised how complete tofu is as protein and how nutritionally dense it is. I always thought I'd have to eat a crap tonne of meat and protein powders to build muscle/strength.

I'm 40 and so ignorant about all this. Why didn't I learn this earlier?! The answer to getting my protein needs was right hnder my nose this whole time urgh just shoot me!

For some time now, I've been consuming 1.5 pounds of tofu a day (easily 90g). Finally, for the first time in my life, I'm making more solid, steady, consistent strength gains in my calisthenics and I'm recovering a lot better.

EAT YOUR TOFU, KIDS!
