Wondering if anyone uses combat mode to play and if so, how do you set it up ?

Also, is combat mode recommended by anyone or not ? For those who aren’t sure what combat mode is, it’s when the crosshair appears on your screen.

Thanks.

Uhh, I think you’re thinking about Star Trek Online which has a combat mode with crosshairs. This game does not.

Yeah, it’s not default so never mind.

I’ve tried it. It’s a lot more useful for some professions and some weapons than others, example Thief with shortbow.

My main problem with it you have to keep turning it on and off. Every time you want to talk in chat or click on an icon on the UI, such as when you complete an event and you get a gold, you have to turn it off. (Not the same as exiting the program) Then you have to turn it back on again. When I use it I have the on/off tied to a key, but it’s still clunky.

Other than that it makes combat fast and intuitive, especially for AOE spells.

Thanks for the reply.

I don’t do PvP or WvW so I didn’t think of that, but good point. So, you tried it in PvP/WvW and it didn’t work out?
