Don't assume that just because we can't fluidly AC and be able to weave flawlessly, that we'd want combat mechanics to be turned on it's head. I really don't think that's the point of this thread.

Yah, let me just.... *stares at console*
I have carpal tunnel and that's why I don't DPS vet content. To be honest, the proposed changes will hurt me because I mainly tank and heal, and needing to light attack weave to get resources will kill my hands. I prefer getting resources from heavy attacks. I don't want my hard work to get good at healing and tanking get shipwrecked.

Then all they would need to do is change the star for light attacks, and make heavy builds slightly more viable. Done. Finished. Basta. Finito.

Low APM can also be associated with the ability to aim and hit the target. I think the current "hit box" on targets is way too small to make an accurate connection with a damage ability or weapon. Sometimes I find myself at point blank range and use a LA and nothing. Move the mouse just a fraction then it will hit. By making the hit box bigger by 50% might help with overall dps. Just saying.

The hit boxes are a mess. Sometimes I aim way off to the side and hit them, and sometimes I am pointing right at the center mass and the ability hits the enemy three meters to the left of them 😬

I have an average dex, slightly less than average now, as I am over 5 decades old.
You seem to have missed the point. Having a "low APM" is not about choice. It's about typing speed, dexterity, whatever you want to call it.
Edit: I have and use a gaming mouse. Yes, that does help some.
