Easy Repeat Attacking Please!

[Yagmoth]

I would like to see a hotkey added that while you have pressed repeats attacking. Basically, this is how everyone attacks wraiths right now with button mashing. My mouse and hands will thank you.Yes I know you can switch targets and have autoattack on but you only swing if facing them this way and it can be a pain to keep going so I always seem to use the left button to swing camera and right button to single attack over and over. I have only been playing this game for a few months so I may have missed what I seek somewhere. Thoughts?

kargon believe can just hold down the right mouse buttomon to constantamally swing when mod 7 come out.

when mod7 goes live you will no longer have to repeatedly click the right mouse button to attack. you will then be able to just hold the button down for "auto attack".

You can also place the auto-attack ability from your Feat list on the hot bar, target, activate and not have to hold down any buttons at all. It's a toggle, so it stays on until you click it again. Maybe I'm just not hard core or something, but I really prefer that (traditional MMO) approach over click-to-attack. Or at least my fingers do.

5 minutes of reading the dev notes would've eliminated the need for this thread.

Also on the end of your hp/sp bar there is a little sword symbol. Clicking that once will turn auto attack on and you will see the white boarder rotate around it. Clicking it again will turn it off.

Feature works as intended on Risia.

The WDA states:
A new click and hold to attack option has been added to the game and is defaulted to on.

I'm not clear on this, when you hold down right click do you continually swing wildly in the air? I'm hoping that is what it does as that is what is needed. The old auto-attack was useful in most places, but when you have devils teleporting everywhere or incorporal mobs phasing in and out targetting then autoattacking yields much much fewer attacks than right clicking like crazy to swing wildly in the air. In fact not swinging wildly in the air is essentially completely ineffective in those cases.

I have to limit my melee time before my wrist hurts because of all the clicking.

So cheers to swinging wildly in the air - if it works like the old auto attack where you still have to have and enemy targetted then it adds essentially nothing.

Till the mod goes live there's also the possibily of macroing the attack yourself if you have a programable game pad or mouse. I set a key on my Nostromo to press/release the right mouse key for me. Took a bit of experimentation to figure out how much "delay" was needed (had to make sure I could still switch weapons/drink pots) between repeats, but totaly worth it (IMO).
