Guild Wars 2

With auto-fire enabled for either grenades are mortars, reprogram button presses to act as a toggle between throwing as fast as allowed, and doing nothing.

This will save a LOT of button mashing, and free up fingers to do more useful things.

So basically, with auto-fire enabled, you press 1 once to start constantly bombarding the targeted area (you can move the mouse around while this is happening) and press it once again to cease firing.

In some cases it will be ideal to have autofire off, and while this change would be a tad lazy, having to constantly toss an AoE every 1/2 second gets very tiring.

Alternatively, you could make grenades have a much slower reload time, but hit much harder, this would mean less button spam, but unfortunately roll crits less often…

I would also really like this x)

I would love at least some form of autoattack for these kits, because as they stand, they are WAY too rough on my fingers and utter RSI bait.

It is, in fact, why I rarely use the Grenade Kit, even though I otherwise love it.

Edit: Fixed a rampaging kitten filter that doesn’t allow the word “on” after the word “hard”.

I’m glad A-net never considered this request.
I’m glad that they most likely never will.

One of my recent posts, in a thread that already covers this topic, and is on the front page as well, tells you why.

1. fast cast ground target
2. practice spaming keyboard skills
3. hold down right mouse button and practice using ground target using mouse look, keep your ground target marker middle of the screen and when u look your marker will always be where you look at. in time u will get used to this

as a 10 year WoW vet I am no stranger to spamming my 1 2 3 4 keyboard skills (all my other keys are bound to my razer naga MMO mouse, 12 key thumb pad FTW)

Either that or a “keep pressed to autoattack” would be good QoL improvements.

And this prevents repetitive strain injuries how, exactly?

It’s not like those of us who want this haven’t mashed the living kitten out of our keyboards and fingers over the past three years. That’s the point.

Hence the interest in getting some relief, and the reason I don’t use these kits anymore.

Probably the easiest way to solve this dilemma, and the one I’d be most willing to go for, is basically, if you set a skill as an auto-attack, whether it’s an AoE or not, it will always automatically fire at your target.

Look at the fire ele staff #1 for that. The Fireball skill is an AoE just like the Mortar kit will be, but it’s not ground targeted. This is what we want.

Sorry, but that makes way too much sense, would be too elegant a solution, and would please too many players.

would be cool that if you hold the button down it just keeps auto attacking wherever you point it….oh well maybe a dev sees this one day and we get that little QoL change.
