Default Using ACT to time auto attacks

Heard about this but can't get it to work. Noobs on the SOE baords were no help.

Here's the thread discussing what you're wanting to accomplish

Auto Attack Timings

I believe the regex I found to work for misses was .*?YOU try to crush/pierce/slash*. Use whichever of those is your arrows and it should work, so long as you don't also melee auto attack. Please god tell me you don't...

Im old fashion, Im just use to my bow and know when its gonna fire or not. If I get a new bow, one or 2 raids and im already use to it. Havin to rely on ACT for it would suck imo.

I have mine open all the time for parsing my numbers. I figured why not make it doubly useful heh.

Default Re: Using ACT to time auto attacks

I really think relying on beeps from ACT (or any other external indicators) for auto attack timing is a bad idea. Not only does it make you unnecessarily reliant on extra stuff, but timing can easily change based on your haste mod and such changes won't be automatically picked up by ACT. Not only can timing vary from raid to raid depending on your group, but it can also vary from moment to moment within a fight if you're in a group with no extra permanent haste, but 1 or more temp haste buffs. Learn your bow's timing and do it in your head and adjust it from moment to moment depending on what haste buffs are up.

Default Re: Using ACT to time auto attacks

I had a constant group with nearly max haste so my numbers didn't fluxuate. Even without it my ACT is picking it up just fine, every single attack and miss now heh.

It's for lazy people and it works just fine.

It doesn't have a timer that beeps every so many seconds. It simply beeps when your auto attack fires. This is useful for me at least because I know after I cast CA A and CA B I CANNOT cast CA C until I hear a beep.
