View Full Version : Wand not shooting from Attack key?

I decided to play a bit of Sorcerer again. Rolled a new char, set up my items, and started playing.

BUT... My wands won't shoot when I hit attack. They are eternals (acid and fire). Did this somehow change, or have I found a bug?

What do you mean when you "hit attack?"

Do you mean left click? Left click should work by default.

Neither left-click nor my mapped attack key lets me use the wand. I cannot attack without putting the wand on a hotkey, which means I've used up 2 hotkeys I will need later.

Something is amiss! I've filed a bug report.

Seems to only affect the Elf Sorcerer. I just tried a Halfling on same server, worked normally. I'll do some more investigating. *sigh* I wanted to PLAY!

EDIT - Seems to be all female sorcerer builds. I tested on 2 servers now, and males work fine, but females just swing as if they're unarmed rather than triggering the equipped wand. Grrr...

EDIT: Total misread.

If you don't have the wands on your hotbar in order to cast them, how were you swapping them out anyways?

20 Female Elf Sorc and I don't have this problem. I cast from a wand without issue by left-clicking.

I use the weapon sets from Inventory on a hotbar to equip weapons, including the wand/shield combo for my casters.

Only affecting new chars as far as I can tell. My existing casters are not affected.

I made a female human sorcerer about a week ago and have had no problem with the beginner wand in snowy Korthos on Orien.

Took me a lot of testing to figure this one out. It's the Options - Gameplay - Click and Hold to Attack setting. I feel rather embarrassed about making such a fuss. Seems I hadn't made a new caster since I started changing that setting.

On the bright side, my casters work fine, now. -walks quietly away seeking a place to hide-
