If someone says something to me. I just hit enter and then tab. It pulls up the name and start typing

One of my favorite "hidden" features (held over from D2) is using the RMB for melee attacks. I just hold it down to move & it automatically attacks when in range.

Oh, missed that. Sorry, that predates my first ever visit to this site. Perhaps I need to revisit your older guides. My fault! |

Oh I setup mouse button 4 for movement without attacking. Only way to move out of the stuff.

You'll be receiving a bill for my new mouse when my Mouse 4 button breaks. Thanks for the much-needed tip! |

I am in the market for a new mouse. My current one is not moving consistently when start computer. Once it works it stays working, but doesn't usually start right away... |

rebinding your skills to ASDW for a ranged character so that you can hold shift and use skills easier. started with a barb and when I created my DH it took me awhile to figure out how to not move and shoot...

I went the other way on this. I just rebound "stand still" to spacebar instead of shift. Easy enough to thumb space while using 1-4 |

Salvaging an item with a gem socketed in it gives you the gem back. This is useful for saving the Remove Gem cost in low-level socketed items while leveling characters and with the upcoming Marquise gems. It's also useful for hardcore newbs that need to save every penny.

Good tip, but HC newbs is not nice. Starting fresh is fun and hard to get a bankroll. |

Comes up a lot, so tip time.
If you have a spamable stun/freeze do not continue using it if siege breaker ubers picks up a teamate. He will hold them until he can finish the animation to slam you down. |

During quest dialogue, like the Ghost of the Cow King, if you run about 1.5-2 screens away, it skips the dialogue entirely allowing you to enter Whimsyshire within seconds.
While unid rares can't be sold without ID'ing them, they can be salvaged. If you're farming mats for crafting in 1.0.7, you can snap up that stupid yellow Yatagan and Salvage it at the Blacksmith's without taking 1 second to ID first. In addition to mapping Move to Mouse 4, you can also map whatever sprinting skill you have to Mouse 3 (mouse wheel click). You can do a remarkable amount with just 4 buttons on your mouse. |

A3, defending the catapults. When defending the 2nd catapult, you may just warp to town prior to the first wave and wait until the catapult rises and you get the XP. Of course, you will miss the loot and XP from the kills.

hahaha, I learned this one the hard way one of the first times I fought Ubers. I'd specifically switched to stunning attacks for both primary & secondary (bola & elemental, respectively) to see if I could keep an Uber frozen, & the monk who was tanking for us started chatting w/ the party a minute or two into the battle saying "could whoever is stunning the SB please stop attacking him for a sec so that he can put me down? Thx." I was almost ROFL... :) |

TIP: For DH's using Hungering Arrow as their primary, 99% of the time it's possible to keep the Act 2 Keywarden
(Sokahr) just slightly off screen & kill him w/o taking any damage at all. In the past he used to be the hardest warden for me to kill due to his missile dampening field & insane damage output, but ever since I've discovered how to hit him from almost off screen, I've had zero deaths to him. |

Ball lighting works much better in my experience since you can hit him 10+ times with a single shot due to the slowing.
This is the most fun keywarden for a DH though! |
