Default Button masher or Mouse clicker?

I've been surprised lately by how many people play via mouse click, so I'm just curious....

Which are you?
1) Button masher (predominantly use keyboard with alt ctrl etc... mouse only used to strafe or change the direction you are facing)
2) Mouse clicker (predominantly rely on clicking icons with the cursor)

I've been an avid button masher for years.

Which do you use predominantly? How do you cast your wards and debuffs?

When I first started playing, I used to hit the buttons. But as I got into the game more, and messed with my UI, I didnt have the labels anymore on my hotbars, and switched to mouse clicking. Either way, I would doze off clicking stuff and be on like auto pilot when I played

Tbh I use my mouse mostly.
Only thing I always always always use buttons for are my cures,
please dont ask how often I cure during raids though since I've
always tried to teach other healing classes to cure instead of me.
I dont think I need to explain why but ask if you're curious.

But yeah sometimes I have to cure during raids either I want
to or not

Keyboard 90% of the time. I would venture even 95% of the time. I generally wander around with my mouse somewhere in the lower middle of my screen, a couple inches above the top of my lower windows on my hotbar. Oddly enough, its right on the butt of my toon usually lol. I ONLY use the mouse to click on windows i couldn't click elsewhere, or to move if I can't get my mouse to hover something I need to click on. I make use of UI mods that allow me to hit enter to loot (the 3 days i had to click "loot" on everything drove me NUTS) and I use the "F" key (function) liberally to start NPC transactions, inspect, loot, open doors, etc etc etc.

I think using my mouse is the only thing that kept me awake during raids.

Mouse! Sometimes keyboard. But usually the mouse. I'd say um... uh... der...

80% time is mouse! Sometimes I hold both mouse-buttons to move when I'm reaaaalll lazy.

I'm with Rhoslyn, about 80% mouse here. Most of the time i use the mouse but every now and then i use the keyboard for the most essential stuff like attacks and heals :D
