[Guide] Update 9 - Auto skill usage
Published by ex-[GM]Inquisitor

Default [Guide] Update 9 - Auto skill usage


In Update 9 the way the Autoattack system has changed.

It now automatically uses attack skills on the selected quicklost bar as and when needed.

It will only use basic attack skills from Sword and Magic, it does not automatically heal or use buffs/debuffs.

Incase you have never used the Autoattack feature before, it is located in the options menu pictured below.

Simply enable the feature by checking the tick box.

Example of use:

I have set up 3 skills for my Force Shielder that I will know loop comfertably, by starting your attack with any skill the game will now take over and use the skills in the order 1, 2, 3. (You can put the attack skills anywhere on the quickbar the game will find them)

Skill slot 1:


Skill slot 2:


Skill slot 3:


You will notice that skill 1 has cooled so the game will automatically use skill 1 again.

Skill slot 1:


However if all 3 skills are still on cooldown it will continue looking on that quickslot bar in numerical order (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0, -, =) for the next available attack skill that is not on cooldown.

If all skills are on cooldown then your character will use normal attack until one is ready, and when the target is dead the autoattack stops and you must manually retarget and start the attack cycle again.

Please note: The auto attack skill still works as it did for Battle Mode 2 and it will not automatically use skills but instead it will repeat Normal attack for you.

The attacks are not in combo mode and the system does not work with combo mode.

Further more, this system combined with several other features of update 9 are designed to reduce bot use.

This system is designed sepcifically to combat the issues with using normal attack when coming out of battle mode, it does not auto retarget and when you retarget you have to manually start attacking again.

Security note: This is not how a bot works and this feature would not be used in the creation of such a thing. If you have any doubts about the system please wait until you have tried it for yourself.

Why you don't think about other classes when you complain about this feature? I for example got an archer as second char.

Without this feature it just runs to the target to hit it with the bow instead of using a skill. And don't tell me to deactivate autoattack then. That is what i do, but it is tiresome to activate it again for BM2 then.

So think also about the advantages

Uhm i would like to have something like skill combination made by me.

Like i got autoattack option window with few quickslot bars. 1-10skills , and i can even put the same skill in it how many times i want. Then it change to 1 skill , what i can put in my quickslot bar.When pressed it ,it do the combination itself.

It would even works for buffs , because you could replace all buffs into 1 quickslot. They would be casted automticly 1 by 1 in the order you put them in the auto attack quickslot bar.

Ans : slot 1 - skill1>slot 2 - skill2>slot 3 - skill 1> slot 4 - normal attack...

anyway this is useless -_-, it says that when skills are in cooldown it does normal attack till skills are aavailable again....

but he checks skill of all the bar meaning you need an empty bar -_

also now i need the attack icon somewhere (and need to search for it everytime i want to use the normal autoattack) to use it normally, cause every other button will trigger itself (and all the other skill buttons) to do some skill at a certain point..

they should add 4 more bars before implementing this...

or put another button where you activate it (auto attack/ auto attack v2/off)

Well i have talk with Inquisitor and got explained how this work..
Let say you only got attack skills in your bar..
You make a mob target, press 1
Skill 1 attack, skill 2 attack, skill 3 attack, skill 4 attack(while u use skill 4, skill 1's cool down is done), skill 1 attack(now also skill 2 is done), skill 2 attack and so on..
Even through u have more than 4 skills, it just repeat those.. Because it is like this, it dont just go from left to right, it take every skill, and if any skill before the skill are ready to be used, it is used..

so if i want to use 5 skills, i have to make sure it doesnt cooldown fast enough?
(like if i wanna do comp-boj-comp-gm combo,... (but than without combo) than how do i have to do it???? it wont work coz it ll cycle comp-boj ? or do i have to put boj cooldown difrent than?
(coz cooldown has to be like that coz i d be able to do gm-comp-boj too :-)

i already understood it well, if you read my post i want to auto attack with normal skills till the skill's cooldown is off, with this stupid system i can't do it anymore !

when i do skill1(button 7), skill2(button8), skill1 (1 still in cd) it will do the first skill of the bar (button2), while i want it to be like now, 2 normal attack hits and when the cd is off, the skill1.

with the new system i'll need to not press anything for the 2 normal hits, and then bash the attack skill button 3 or 4 times (cause when you're autoattacking skills doesn't register as soon as the button is pressed), also if i get wrong and click it when it's in 0.01 sec cd, another skill will take place.
