Wands & autoattack

[Zych]

So Elegon gave me his wand - yay!

But now I'm having this problem. If I right click a mob to kill it, the wand goes off.

Now the obvious solution would be to just left-click him, but does anyone know if it's possible to turn autoattack/autoshoot off?

I had this problem too. I don't think there is sadly.

Left-click instead?

Edit: Apparently I can't read today.

Well I did say that was the obvious solution...

But after 5 years of right clicking to target, it's a tough habit to break. Plus I play alot of melee alts so that makes it even harder.

I did find an option to stop auto attack when I switch targets, so I checked that, hopefully that will at least help with Tab targeting.

I did this on Garajal the other night. I instantly faded, which caused Garajal to go after one of our warlocks. I promptly blamed the warlock on Mumble.

Haha :)

I am pretty sure I have to double right click on a mob to auto attack (Stick though not that it should matter) because I realised I was missing out on autoattack damage the other day and it annoyed me. I will check my settings when I get home tonight.

Lawl that's awesome. It's funny that you mention locks tho, apparently activating demon form starts spamming autoshoot so demo locks can't use wands at all right now.

I did some digging around yesterday and I found a priceless Ghostcrawler quote on the subject from his twitter:

Currently Wands as mainhand weapons are nonfunctional; they autocast "Shoot" which delays regular casts. Bug or intended?

Intended. We don't want wands to be a DPS increase or casters would never use staves, daggers, mage blades.

If you don't want wands to be a dps increase why are they still in the game? And what game are you playing by the way? Mage blades? W...T...F
