A way to reverse Light & Heavy Attack partern?

t.claudio.usnub18_ESO

I want a way to bind light attack to go off when I hold down my left mouse button, by default holding down my left mouse button will trigger a heavy attack, I want that reversed.

My reason is simple, I don't want to damage my $100 gaming mouse with non stop left clicking, I have tried to macro my left mouse button to do such a thing but my problem is the interface then, I can't drag & move items because my mouse macro is pretty much spamming the left mouse button when held down.

I would love a way to work around this or a in game option to reverse heavy & light attack patterns.

If you spent $100 on a mouse it should be bullet proof and self-aware!

Can you not create a gaming profile for ESO to reverse the left and right mouse click?

One would figure a mouse like mine to be bullet proof lol, but in reality all mice have a self life, after hundreds of hours of non stop mouse clicking a mouse will die or wear out.

I use a MMO Razer Naga mouse for the 12 side buttons so yeah it's a costly mouse but well worth the money IMO.

That isn't what he's asking at all. Currently you single left click to light attack, hold left click to repeatedly heavy attack (at max dmg, you can let go sooner to still get a heavy attack but do dmg rated on how long you held), or right click to block. He wants an option to hold down and repeatedly light attack. As a werewolf, gods what I would not give for that ability.

Unfortunately I think the detail for heavy attack that I listed above in ( )s is the reason you cannot have light attack on hold and click for heavy. You can't have that functionality on single click.

It would be nice to have some kind of option to change it though, even if you had to do a full heavy attack every time instead of choosing how long to build up.

It is probably not feasible to do since the whole concept is a light attack is quick and a heavy attack takes longer. That timing (setting up the heavy attack) is built into the “holding down” period.
This is to the point that if you don’t complete the hold down period, you don’t get full credit for a heavy attack.

You can and I did but my problem is because I created a profile to spam light attacks while holding down left mouse, but I can't use my interface to drag items from my bags ect. because the mouse macro is reading left mouse spam.

This is, hands down, the weirdest wish in gaming history.

You don't want to click too often as you are afraid your expensive mouse goes south. For real?

Your mouse can stand millions of clicks without breaking. There are pro gamers in lol that keep up a certain click frequency...

It's a good request for other reasons. As a werewolf I can attack faster than I can keep up with clicking. I also have Haste as a nightblade. Clicking over and over doesn't queue attacks, and any lag whatsoever results in missed or delayed attacks. Being able to hold and repeatedly light attack would probably help a lot of the faster attacking people's DPS. I can't really think of many cases where I'm repeatedly heavy attacking, but I repeatedly light attack all the time.

Couldn't you rebind main attack to one of your other buttons on the mouse, then set up a profile to make that button a hold-to-click button? Then your left click would work normally for interaction.

This might work. Might be time to drag out the gaming monstrosity of a mouse that I have tucked away. I never got used to having 16+ buttons on a mouse so I shelved it.

I suspect your gaming mouse will be just fine. I've used mine for years with zero problems, and mash left mouse button all the time. Heck it works so well I'm buying an upgraded one (w/ more buttons to mash!) today.
