Thread: Am I hitting too fast for Warcry to work? Bug?
I have noticed this problem since I hit TK Novice. My usual method of attack against animals is to KD2 then Warcry them...however, I find that if I do Warcry immediately after the KD, it costs me full HAM but I don't get a success / failure message at all. If I do KD, unarmed hit 2, then Warcry, I get the target delayed about 75% of the time (unless it's something particularly resistant).
So now, I have my macro set up to KD2+UnarmedHit2+Warcry+Warcry....if the first warcry sticks, I clear my combat que, get VK's on, then spam unarmedhit2 on the downed beast. Is anyone else noticing this or am I bugged?
I have noticed the same issue with Berserk (not that I even use that anymore) - but a lot of times I will hit berserk, it costs me lots of ham, but I don't get a success or fail message.
I use the exact same attack tactic myself (mostly because it's our only viable tactic for solo fights) and I get the exact same glitch.
I haven't macro'd it, but yeah Warcry often doesn't take the first time despite my HAM getting drained. It's like the animation doesn't have a chance to complete, so the move doesn't think it should apply yet or something.
Actually, I cannot seem to be able to combine knockdown and warcry at all....
Can someone else confirm that this combo actually works?
When I first got kd, I eagerly went out to my normal hurrton matron missions and made kd/warcry work. But, in full armor with a vk, I decided it was too much in the way of ham cost. So, now I just do my usual debuff (blind/stun) and intimidate when it hits.
I usually hit with two specials after knockdown, then do a warcry. Works well, and I always receive a success or failure message.
