Agreed.

I think NOT using your mouse only cripples you, as there is so much utility in it.

Going from click to walk (>Keyboard walk imo), to pretty much being able to click ANYTHING on your screen (Select enemy warriors, party members, enemy mesmers, etc...)

Stuff that simply can't be done with Keyboard. (You'dd have to be an AMAZING tabber in order to find the enemy mesmer, even tough there is none in current meta, within 2 seconds...

i've read some high ranked GvG monks use keyboard setups where they select their allies using keys as opposed to clicking on them with the mouse. A common setup would be:
skills 1-8 are keys: qwerasdf
select ally 1-8 (excluding urself, that's done with 'c') are keys: 12345tg

do any of you use a setup similar to this with success? or possibly a different setup?

Use the number pad keys ( the one on the right side of your keyboard), when you see (for example) a sin (or a war) going for one of your teammates press the associated number, it's easier to practice with a pratical party layout (like frontliners on top and monks on spot 7-8) but after a few days it will become automatic and you will be able to do it in every condition.

for infuse you can just redbar. but for protting you definitely need an alternate setup. i like the idea of the numpad. time to practice
