Did our ranged CA's just get missed in the auto interrupt?

[Nulad]

Or is it just me? I kinda thought that we would see the benifit of the new auto-interrupt for spells when mobs path out of range but it doesn't seem to have had any effect on my ranged CA's, mob wonders out of range, no interrupt, auto-archery turns on, mob wonders back into range and BAM! a full health mob is on me... EEK!!! that's not how I like it. Or is it just me? Nul. <div></div>

<P>Here is something worse. While in raid i cast improved surviel and then use sniper shot and someone pulls agro aways from main tank mob gets to close skill is not casted and then autofire takes you out of stealthed. or if you have to suddenly move in that situation autofire still breaks stealth. I hate it. bad enough i have to recast stealthy fire or sniper shot but it totally breaks my invis and lowers my dps greatly.</P> <P>Can anyone tell me if i setup a macro with snipershot and /autoattack 0 that it won't range or is there a new command to stop auto range?</P> <P> </P>

Even to the extent of a split second the mob moves out of range, you get the out of range indicator, then it pulls it with autofire a moment later when it's back in range..<BR><BR>Wasn't there supposed to be some change made where a mob can travel 15m out of range as you're casting, if after you've started casting, and it still fires off or something?

I've also noticed, that when a mob resists a CA, the timer for that CA is regular as if it went off. However if you cast a spell on a caster type, if it resists the timer recast is shortened greatly so you can recast again quickly. I haven't had all that many CA's that get resisted, or don't hit, but occasionally it happens and I've found this kind of annoying. Anyone else notice this? <div></div>

I have a Warlock and Ranger and if my 20sec recast spell gets resisted it seems it's up again in 5sec to try again (numbers used as an example). But with Ranger CA's you cop the full 1min timer or whatever.

Actually, as far as the timers goin to full after they're used isn't broken.  One of the few skills, aside from evade i've seen get resisted that i have, is Stream of Arrows.  And when it gets resisted, it doesn't go to a full timer, it works just like spells.  When the timers you have go to full, the skill was completed successfully, but most likely it missed.  Doesn't mean the skill was resisted, it means they dodged/parried the attack.  I don't think i've had any other ranged-CA get resisted other than stream, and its more of a DoT than anything.<div></div>

Atleast an option to turn it off would be greatly appreciated.</P> <P><BR>++Xan</P> <P><BR> </P>

<P>Yeah, I noticed this last night, I would be really nice if you could just turn off auto attack and have it stay off.</P> <P>Omaplata/Mirn</P>

I dunno if someone above mentioned this but I have a similar problem if a mob goes down just before the end of the 'cast' timer on my Ranged CAs. I get the message, "Target is not alive." but auto attack still goes on and if the tank tabs to a non-agro mob before I notice, whamo, I pull the mob. It's caused some issues several times already, fortunately it has yet to wipe a group I'm in.

We were in Spirits of the Lost (an Epic instance at Cazic Thule) I was assisting our MA, and the mob we were on was down to 20%. The raid leader called out for DPS to burn it down. Well, I was casting triple arrow and the mob died just before it casted. It still turned on my auto attack and the MA tabbed and targetted another epic mob just as my bow let loose with auto ranged .. and..WHAM there was another epic mob on us. (oh craaaaap, imagine my dismay). We managed to not whipe, but it was definitely an ugly fight as there was no recovery or set up and the frigging mob had an AoE from Hell (which I fortunately missed out on, hehe. :smileywink:</DIV> <DIV align=left> </DIV> <DIV align=left>Normally, I don't mind auto-ranged at all.
