Description
Transform WoW into action-combat style gameplay!
Move your trackpad or mouse to look around AND turn your character simultaneously — no need to hold right-click. Inspired by modern action MMOs like Throne & Liberty.
Perfect for MacBook trackpad users or anyone who wants seamless action-style camera controls.
✦ How It Works
When Action Mode is enabled:
- Moving your mouse/trackpad rotates the camera
- Your character automatically faces the direction you look
- A customizable reticle appears on screen
- The reticle changes color based on what you're targeting
Press F12 to toggle, or use the on-screen button.
