The wrong thing is that the auto-shot has a 0.5 sec cd after using an ability.

The auto-shot should be launched right after an ability without delay. For example if you start with arcane shot it should immediately follow an auto-shot. In addition auto-shots can be fired while casting steady shot.

try PasdVn patch. I slightly modified it http://www.pastebin.org/73194

orginal one is somwhere here http://github.com/pasdVn/mangos/commits/OV_3.1

for thos looking for different approach the clue is flag AttributesEx2 & SPELL_ATTR_EX2_UNK17 for spells that are not interruping autoattacks (hunters shots + slam)

[pasdVn]

Nice catch! I plan to write an autoshot update if I haves some time. Checked the behavior in detail on an official server months ago already...

[przemratajczak]

waiting impateitntly for more generic solution (including Slam) : )

[Killan]

try to put it in under review section pls! it should be tested and if it works, aplyed

bump for pasdVn

Does anybody know, how "Shoot" (the wand shoot) currently reacts on official servers? Are the 0.5s castime removed, too?

[przemratajczak]

i've got access to mage/hunter/druid/warrior around 40lvl if you've got precised questions please ask.

[pasdVn]

OK, in detail:

Hunter autoshot acts like that imho (on offi server):

• * it gets casted instantly when you start to cast it (without 0.5 sec 'casttime')
  * no ranged spell can suspend it, except channeling (ok.. just volley here :-/ )
  * all other spell can suspend autoshot (e.g. scare beast), but won't delay it for the 0.5s 'casttime' (see first point)
  

Question is, if the wand ('auto') shoot acts the same concerning the 'casttime' (that means does it start instantly or after the 0.5s casttime)?

By the Way: The flag you found seems not to be the correct one :-/. I first thought it could be a melee attack timer reset flag, because it was changed at "Slam" with patch 3.0.2 but this also seems to be wrong :-(

[kigiri]

The wand shoot doesn't trigger any CD, BUT you can't cast wand when you'r own gcd's active.

So you can cast wand shoot and right after cast a spell

but can't cast a spell and wand right after.

[pasdVn]

Question ist just, if you wand auto shoot starts instant, or if it needs 0.5s before fiering the first shoot, after activating. The rest does not need any update, imho (gcd client handled). It's just important, becuase we could remove the flag in this case autorepeatfirstcastflag (or how it is called), what makes everything more clear^^

[przemratajczak]

* wand autoshot begins with 0.5sec delay

* all spell casted are interrupting wand auto-shot loop
