Something about Auto Attack

[Chinesehero]

Do I need to press the Auto Attack icon to make this run? Or just auto hit itself???

Do auto attack important?

How to calculate it if I use weapon with 3.4 speed ? if I wear the dominator shoulder, AA +10. The speed of weapon becomes how much now???

Auto attack is just that, an attack which automatically occurs every X period of time.

Try this. Find a single NPC in PVE and draw it, then just stand there and watch how often your auto attack occurs.

Or you can factor using the Quadratic Equation.

Auto attack:AA

AA starts running when you use an attack ability on an enemy or rightclick them. yes it is important. 3.4 speed is one attack every 3.4 second. +10 haste means 10% faster weapon speed, 3.4*0.90=3.06

it stacks so if you have dom shoulder + oathstones its 10%+15% faster weapon, 3.4*0.75=2.55.
So you now shave almost 1 second off your AA speed.

Big damage increase

they have +15 haste

you do change targets a lot right?
using skill activates AA automatically on that target. only that target.
change target and do nothing? no AA.

They change the forumla a long time ago, when people used to reach 80-90% AA haste. The current formula is afaik

<Weapon Speed>/(1 + <AA Speed>)

Which is alot weaker than the old one.

When I change a target I need to press AA icon to acivate the auto attack or just no need to concern it, it just automatic???

I have tried it with mice in Altdorf

Mice are 1 hit die. I need to press it to activate when I hit. If i dont press it, no activate

[anarchypark]

there are 2 ways to activate AA on target.
1. use AA icon in your skill bar.
2. use any attack skill in your skill bar.

on the new target, u need to use one of those.
normally ppl just use skill. so no need to concern it.

but if u changed target and it was out of range,
your AA don't activate until you hit the new target with skill.

There are actually three ways to activate AA. Two are as anarchypark said, the third is just rightclicking on your enemy when they're in your attack range(as in, if you're using a melee weapon, if you're in melee range, if using a ranged one, if within 100feet). It isn't required to use any abilities to start autoattacking
