Path of Exile Tips For Controls And Clicks

In Path of Exile, the player has been exiled from their homeland to the corrupted and deeply hostile continent of Wraeclast. Alone, or with other exiles, they must develop their skills and discover powerful magical artifacts in order to survive the challenges of a cutthroat post-apocalyptic fantasy world.

This post will show how to control the game.

Targeting is automatically done for most things and you can use the left trigger as a shift button by default or move it around for skills that would need to be cursor placed. The skill will generally auto target in the direction tour character is facing. Usually on a mob if one exists or near it. If none exists then usually a short distance and otherwise it works really well.

Left click to move to your mouse pointer, right click to use a skill (e.g a spell), click an enemy to move to and attack it, hold shift and click to swing your weapon in that direction. Thankfully, the controls were tight in that respect and whilst clicking individual enemies is a tiny bit difficult as always, that’s not really how you’re supposed to play the game effectively anyway.

In addition to those controls, however, are some small innovations that make quite a bit of difference. The middle click is also used to activate a skill, and Q, W, E, R, T and Y keys are used similarly. You don’t have to constantly switch and then right click every time you want to use a spell, instead press the appropriate (customisable) button and cast it directly.

Q – Using first skill
W – Using second skill
E – Using third skill
R – Using fourth skill
T – Using fifth skill
X – Change weapons (if you have another one in a slot)
D – Detonate a mine
Z – Toggle highlighting items on the ground
A – Toggle searching through corpses
O – Options
C – Character panel
S – Social panel
I – Inventory panel
H – Achievements panel
U – World panel
P – Passive skills panel
M – Microtransactions panel
