Thread: Automatic Fan Shot?

Hi


I have been a pistoleer for a while now but just noticed something new which seemed a bit strange, if i am running around in the wilderness and get aggro, I have always attacked automatically to defend myself, but today (first time Ive noticed anyway) Fan Shot appears in my combat window without me doing the attack, as Im generally just trying to get away and not really interested in fighting. Is this normal? This is the most common attack Ive been using for the last week or so Ive had it. But is it typical for specials to auto-attack?


Also I may have auto healed myself at a few occassions - not 100% sure of this as it may well have been just reflex, but the fan shot is definitely automatic.


Thanks for any replies.

Why don't you guys all put down those VKs and hammers, pick up your guns, pull the triggers and find out?"

If the Jesus piece around your neck is bigger than your pistol,it means homicide okie dokie and your god will forgive you. Just show the saints at heaven's gate, you should be on the list. I hear he over looks manslaughter for a tattooed crucifix.

Yes it happens sometimes ... although in my experience it just "looks" like the old commands are queued. Like sometimes when I initiate combat I'll have a bunch of "/peace" loaded in the queue -- I suspect because I used peace at the end of the last fight. *shrug*

Two other things to consider:

Either by bug or by design, I have been able to have special "effects" on my ranged weapons. For example, I'll fire my Carbine and get a bleed shot.

Also if the NPC/creature or your pet can do a special attack, it stands to reason that on a VERY random chance you could do a "special" automatically as well.

Maybe its saving old combat que'd up and when you go into combat again it continues where you left off.
