• ctrl+click special to select an attack


• once in combat that attack should cycle after you use it once

Auto Assist in Combat:

• Targeta group memberwho is currently engaged in combat


• fire a special - it will hit your targeted group members target

• Colors:




• Grey - Too low - Minimal experience , not worth fighting


• Green - A small amount of experience,willdefinitely be an easy fight


• Light Blue - A small amount of experience, should be an easy fight, could be trouble if there are more than 1 or 2 opponents.


• Blue - Ideal target, decent experience 1 on 1, but could be tough if there are 2 or more opponents.


• White - Even Target 1 on 1; good fight.


• Yellow - Dangerous fight; stronger than you, but you might win.Good luck!


• Orange -Very dangerous fight.Unlikely you will beat this opponent


• Red - This opponent will easily smite you.


• Purple -Certaindeath.


• Target Icons:




• Pointing Up -Higher con than you


• Circle -Evencon
  
• Pointing Down -Lowercon than you

DPS in the examine window:

• The DPS listed in any of the weapon descriptions is just an estimate of the raw average damage divided by the weapon speed.


• The final DPS output of any player will be determined by a much wider variety of factors such as special move multipliers, accuracy& skill mods, etc, etc.


• The actual damage being done will also be modified by the skill mods and armor ratings of the opponent.

Range Modifiers:

• Since we no longer have min/mid/max range bonuses (because we no longer have min/mid/max range accuracy differences), we moved to one "general accuracy" value.


• The "Accuracy" on a weapon should stack with your other accuracymodifiers (from skill mods, etc).


• You will also notice we got rid of the "mid distance" stat all together. Weapons now only have min/max distances.

Dot Weapons:

• DOTs of this sort will indeed be removed completely from all weapons.


• The point values of the DOTs will not be converted on a 1-1 ratio; instead a formula is used to derive a more reasonable value for the end weapon.


• All weapon valueswill be modified to be within acceptable (from a balance perspective) ranges of the new weapon target numbers.


• The truth of the matter is that there are some very overpowered DOT weapons in the world, and those weapons will no doubt lose much of their punch. These weapons should, however, still be relativelyexcellent weapons within the new system - just not the overpowered uber weapons they are now.

• Queued - Yellow outline around action in toolbar.


• warm-up - yellow status bar below the toolbar, filling from left to right. Does not exist in all attacks. This is the phase that is supposed to be interruptable.


• Attack execution is too brief for me to tell if it has an indicator. I'm usually looking to see if it hit, missed, failed due to range/LOS, etc. and wouldn't care.


• Cool-down - White outline around action in toolbar. No other actions can be executed.


• Recovery - Icon in toolbar is blacked out, refills with color from the bottom to the top. Other actions can be executed.
