Default Do you use numbers or the mouse?

Don't think I have seen a thread on this but what do you use, the numbers for your skills or the mouse and clicking on the skill?

I personally use the mouse because I find it easier but in monk situations, I would use numbers and use the mouse to click on people (unless using party heals of course but even then, I will probably use numbers instead of the mouse)

but besides monk, with any other professions, I use the mouse. I just find it easier

I use the numbers exclusively. I have 1-8 on the right hand Numpad keymapped to my skills. I almost never use the mouse. (And I don't monk)

I use the arrow keys/right click to move around, and then I use the mouse to activate skills.

However, I haven't really played my monk at all. I can see in that case how I would probably need to switch.

I use the numbers and depending on the skills sometimes the mouse ( only for 7 and 8 skill numbers). The only thing i use mouse walking is when i want to reach player or npc faster than pressing WASD.

I use WASD to move myself, just because its easier to use WASD to move and mouse for skills, plus the mouse controls the camera so its easier imo

I use the keys 1-4 for important skills (interrupts or strong heals) and use the mouse to activate the lesser skills, micro manage heroes, or target party members.

If I'm on a offensive charcter I click the the skills sice the space bar will move me around chasing my target.

When I'm defensive and need to target team members I click names on the Party bar and use the numbers for the skills.

But now that my right hand is broken I'm doing ALOT of keyboard related things since I mouse with my right hand.

Skills are bound on 1-2-3-4-Q-W-E-R.

I use my mouse to move and the two-thumb buttons of my mouse to go through the party members when I monk.

Curious I am how this works, and its efficiency?

I usually keep my most often used skills on 1-2-3-4 and use them with numbers and have my least often used skills on 5-6-7-8 and use my mouse (sucks when I don't have my mouse with me and need to use the touchpad).

Depends on how lazy or tired I am at the moment. When I'm playing for "seriouz buznuss", I'm actively focusing on key binds. Otherwise it's point-n-click.

99% of the time it's numbers.
