Guild Wars 2

Engineer is probably the class with the most spam able AOEs that can be done when the character is on the move.

While making the AOEs target a character makes it loose strategical fighting like stealthed Targets or Strategic placing of fields, constantly clicking to cast is also a Pain.

I wonder if could be made that when an AOE skill is made Auto attack it would remember the first location it is targeted and keep spamming the AOE skill unless the character swaps out of the skill set or moves away from range of AOE or the Target Area is reset by another explicit invocation of the skill or cancelled by escape?

This could also be extended to other classes as well, Only trouble where this can not be used is in places where u need to cast an AOE but it can not be done on the fly like for example skills which root you to a location.

This would at least help save a few clicks. Perhaps some other suggestions to come up with ideas?

yea op.. how about you just keep holding the auto attack button and you just keep attacking wherever you point your mouse? Imo that would do it just fine

Constantly pressing is going to hurt both my fingers and Keyboard/mouse. Apart from that I can pitch a different skill while the Auto Attack is still focused on its own Area.

gratz archievment unlocked: your mortar autoattack hits as hard as lich + is aoe + is not duration limited

Mortar AA hits as hard as Lich? Got Lich AA damage nerfed? Cause 2k crit on AA is not even close to current Lich AA.

i saw 4k on my screen which is only slightly lower than lich and it has a higher attack speed

Which streamer did you see that? Saw many AA from mortar and all critted for 2k. ô.o
Just curios what I was missing.

i was watching dps when he tested it in full zerker with pack runes

Looked it again but I just see 2k crits on mortar the entire time. Hardest hit he had at mortar testing was 3k but not with AA, it was the f5 orbital strike.

ok thx kodama maybe it was one of the trigger traits or i was imagining things because necro got nerfed again sorry for the false information

3 wells and a whole trait line for that but yeah that wasnt as bad as expected. i mean u can do so much on the live servers too. 5 targets 3-4 wells vampiric+vampiric precision ( +100% crit chance)+ vampiric rituals but not in deathshroud so kinda nice. but at no point in time there will be 5 targets in your wells and u will never use more than 2. but its nice i guess
