As stated above, they ban anything that bind a single event to multiple event. So you can rebind mouse buttons to keyboard buttons, but you can't program a single button press to translate into more than a single action in game. Or that is how it works in StarCraft at least.


This is how it works in other games too. You can find WoW threads about people being banned for using programmable mice going back to Vanilla.

So this has been their policy for ages now.

Yep, and they are very limited for a reason. And you certainly cant use them to repeatedly cast a spell every X seconds.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Spells like EBlast are definitely the problem. Most builds have 1-2 skills that you spam that can be spammed by holding the corresponding mouse button. The rest are long lasting buffs, burst skills on long cds, oh shit buttons and mobility skills (I map mobility on the mouse scroll button). Pressing the keyboard every few seconds isn't a problem.

The wizard's problem is having additional low cd spells that you have to bind on the keyboard. Now you're spamming 3-4 buttons instead of 1-2 and some of them are on the keyboard.

I don't think Eblast or spells with a similar cd are the problem, I think it's static cd reduction. EB is a shitty spell without cm or in-geom. And nobody in their right mind would get 90%cd reduction, it just doesn't pay off.

I don't even disagree with the design idea behind EB or similar spells. Imo the sorc is way cooler with a lot of nice looking elemental spells that she can spam on a 10-20 sec cd (although EB itself is pretty boring). That's why I rly like the idea behind the tal-rasha meteor set, imo a sorc is supposed to just turn the screen into a big firework.


Spamming is definitely part of Diablo. Fireball in D1. Frozen Orb D2

But those spells felt strong. ARguably, most spells feel strong in T10 after you are fully geared. But because they added the infinite power creep with GR scaling, most spells feel weak (because they lack the multipliers)

Unfortunately, I've never played WoW

There are alot of contradictionary information going on about macros. Green messages on the Forums do suggest that anything outside of 1 key = 1 action can lead to a ban. Blizzard didn't ban everyone though, so I guess there were other criteria

Think the main-difference in spell feeling are spammability and aoe. Frozen orb f.e. is a spammable whole screen affecting spell that deals decent damage and slows. Can't say much to fireball in d1, but fireball in d2 is pretty much arcane orb in spammable with super high castspeed. In d3 most spells are less flashy, especially the spammable ones. And the more flashy ones are often a lot weaker than other spells (blizzard, meteor shower, tornado). It's more "balanced" I guess.

@patch: wow they did exactly the changes for archon that I had in mind. Great stuff
low gravity, yes-yes!

I pushed pretty hard this season and achieved my career best results, including a top 800 ladder in the second half of the season. Feeling very burnt out, I probably won't come back to this game for the next few seasons.

Best geared chars:
  1. LoN Sader - Best char this season, for high GRs. The crown was my best rolled gear this season.
  2. Flash Wiz - after reaching 1000 paragons, this setup was more fun for grinding lower lvl GRs, can't really play for long without the numpad trick though
  3. Orb Wiz - was gonna work on Caldesanning this set, but got burnt out and quit. The unstable scepter had some insane rolls.


I will be playing more Hearthstone when Standard format rolls out, feel free to add me. I have an account on both NA and EU servers.

Think there's any chance of frozen orb becoming a strong build defining spell again?

For those thats been hitting up PTR, trying to decide whether to play monk or wiz next season, anyone know how theyre gonna be? Wiz is kinda always good, but if viable, I'd prefer monk - ideally as DPS.

You talking group or solo play? For Solo any player should just try to compete with their own class, everything else is irrelevant. For groups, Uliana EP might work as a group DPS build
