Countdown for Autoattack

[kielblade]

i playe a Ranger and its importent to make the autoattack if it is able to use but sometimes my ca's interupt the autoattack and it will came 1or2 sec later.

if there will be a window wher i cane see when the next autoattack will start it be easyer to play and i'm able to make more dps)

I hope it will be possible to make it

Any time you are casting a spell or doing a CA you stop auto attacking and you will auto resume auto attacking once the spell or CA is completed. So basically the cast bar is doing what you are looking for, unless I just totally misunderstood what you are requesting.

autoattack is independant from CAs. swinging a weapon with 2 seconds delay attempts to land every 2 seconds. say you're hitting a target with your autoattack and then use a CA with a casting time of 1.5 seconds. it will land and .5 seconds later the next autoattack will hat too.

now use a CA with a casting time of 3 seconds. the CA will hit and right after that the next autoattack that has been sitting in the "queue" for at least 3 seconds by then. after hitting with autoattack it's another 2 seconds for the next autoattack. you spilled 1 second of autoattack with this.

with long delay weapons as bows it is rewarding to find a CA combination that allows for the least spilled autoattack time, resulting in higher dps. not much, but noticable.

that's the game mechanic. i don't think any mod would offer a benefit. just get your CA chains right

@thorvang i allway do what you say but some time my delay change by my hast buffs and then it isn't easy to make the CA's in the delay time. I have a good dps whis my Ranger but a Countdown like the Castbar will be help to managed it and make more dps

would be nice to see an uimod with autoattack timer.
we have an assa in our raidgroup who is allways above 1800 dps and he uses ca chains and waits for his autoattack swings.
im a new ranger and i spam my cas like crazy so i normaly do 10 ranged autoattacks / 60 seconds i miss 2-3 autoattacks in this time, thats 4500-7000 dmg

is there a way to change your combat colors to show you what is hitting

ex

white numbers = auto attack
blue numbers = ca's

think timming be alot easier in retrospect if in game that could be done
