na dude thats not right lol
/sigh

I was in the process of reorganizing my CAs. I was going through everything from scratch when I misread the the Double Up description. Up until the reorg, there were no long pauses. But while suffering from a brain fart, I was thinking I could squeeze extra time out of dispatch.

It's all straight now. I've got a good layout/flow that will work.

You know that macroing is a bad idea right?!? Because you can't queue more then one CA, so if you press your "macro" you cast Enfeeblement, and dispatch will follow ... causing ur rake to be never casted!
Using CAs Macros is highly unreliable, and I wouldn't ever recommend it!

good old times!!! I can't recall when i managed to get 3 CAs to double up with the amount of lag you have these days ... fuck at times am happy to get even two CAs to double up (specially when you fight overland mobs) - Fix the lag!!!

the approved method is to just put all your CAs in dps.txt and spam that button

tbh if you turn off queueing and are pretty careful about the order of CAs in the macro you can do that pretty successfully. well, except f or the spamming part, still gotta time em.

Default Re: Dispatch, Battery, & Double Up

spamming combat arts in this method generates server side lag.

The more that do it on your server, the worse your server performance will get.

This is due to the client sending all of the spells over to the server, and the server goes down the list and rejects them all till it finds one it can do.

Be nice to your server, and stop being fucking lazy.
