Swift Attack bugged?

Perenti · 03-12-2008, 12:08 AM

For some soloing/grouping (Twins Mallet) I use Swift Attack AA which gives me a clicky hotkey haste boost, however when I check my Persona information my haste % doesnt increase when I hit it.

Haste procs off gear show up but not Swift Attack's, is this normal or a bug? Or is it just me, I use the SOE Standard default UI btw.

Thanks for any thoughts on this, I will take my AA elsewhere if its not working

I haven't checked for a while but it certainly did 100% work last I looked. It's an attack... um, you are of course actually hitting a mob with it, right?

If it misses it won't increase your haste.

Good point, yes I am in combat (usually in Skyfire after named drops), I rarely miss with the spell but its possible I didnt on that occassion, I will check when I can get back online.

Thanks for pointing out the obvious!

When it lands I see the haste show up in the persona details. But yeah, as stated above, it has to actually land in order to receive a haste buff.

Yup you were right, it still works, I had to get a lot of hits for a resist but when it resisted it didnt show up.

Sorry to have jumped to the easy conclusion that it was bugged! Thanks for the feedback

RoK hit rates reduce the value of an otherwise great AA. Fully geared I still see hitrates from autoattack below 60% on some fights... sad.

It was broken when you missed.

Hmm thats a good point, 60% hit rates is &^%$ and a waste of AA, it should have a much lower resist rate than that, being an AA ability.
