For anybody clicking, I suggest reassigning 5-0 to either shift 1, shift 2, shift 3, shift 4, Q, E, R, C, X, F or some variant of that. They are close to WSAD so you will not be reaching with your fingers and your response time will be significantly faster.
Started as a clicker til I got all my skills, then bound 'em to my mouse/hotkeys. Stopped playing when the announcement that DF:UW was supposed to launch on the 20th, and lost interest in GW2.

Exactly. I was just going to suggest that. I was surprised to see how many people mentioned "not being able to stretch far enough..." to use hotkeys for everything. Pretty much every mmo on the market allows for re-configuring hotkeys these days, so it's usually never necessary to use 1 all the way through 0. Using keys like the ones listed above (I even use Z as well), along with alt and shift as modifiers (a + 1 - 5, Q, E, R, T, Z, X, F, G, shift + 1 - 5, etc) makes things a hell of a lot quicker and easier, in my opinion anyway.
Just get a Gaming mouse and you can map any button on the mouse it might now work in game with GW2 but I found out how you can assign any key on the keyboard. Hell I have three spells on three spells on my mouse wheel using a G500 Logitech with setpoint if it shows up in setpoint you can use that button using a keystroke command so I now have that little red button along with the foward and backward buttons working now.
I do both. I am mostly a pve player and there I'm usually clicking. In pvp I probably click less so out of necessity though. I probably should pick one style to remain consistent though.

Here is how to set it up you can be faster then a keyboard user
I never liked reaching for the number keys when I took typing in school
I think it depends on which class you play. A clicker could play classes like the engineer fine, but a thief would be a lot harder.
And, no, I am not a clicker.
