Travel - How to get around on foot

You have buttons to move, true.  The game instructs you on using the A-S-D-W keys to move forward and back and turn left and right, plus you can strafe or sidle sideways using Q-E.  But don't.  Use a mouse instead.  If you hold both right- and left-click buttons at the same time*, you run forward.  You turn by moving the mouse and it is so much easier.

You can also run (or ride after level 20) by hitting the "number lock" key and sitting back.  If you need to steer, hold only the right-click button and you are gtg (good to go).   You will sometimes use the keys when your mouse has other things to do.  In later dungeons, for example, there are times you must strafe (Q-E) to escape boss damage while still using your mouse to click on other actions like spells, attacks, and heals.  But for the most part, the mouse is your travel tool. 

(*Mac users take note: if you have a single-button mouse, spring for a double-button one. These are cheap and you will use it a lot, not just in game. Meanwhile, it will transform your game experience. I know. I am a die-hard Mac user and suffered moving with only the buttons for my first 60 levels...suffered, I realize now in hindsight.  At the time, I didn't know any better....)
