Guild Wars 2

I would like the ‘atuo attack’ #1 ability of my grenade kit to use both smartcast and autocast at the same time.

I don’t like having to press ‘1’ a million times each fight. Imagine having to press ‘1’ twice each time you wanted to swing your greatsword on a warrior or guardian?

I would like my engineer to throw grenades as fast as he can, to where my mouse cursor is.

Individually both pieces seem to work just fine, but I’d like to get them both to work at the same time

To the target if one is active or the cursor if no target is active. Sounds perfect to me.

Autoattack is not something you can enable for ground targetted AoE attacks. So unfortunately; no, you can’t add that.

It’s also not something you should expect to see implemented, since it is not available to any profession that has a groun target skill.

If you use smartcast, you turn your ground targetted aoe attack into a mouse cursor targetted aoe attack – at which point there is no reason it couldn’t be autocast .

Except for it would then be all grenades all the time. Any skill has to have a target, an the autocast will break on range. While it is technically possible to implement the solution you want, I doubt it is on the horizon for this game because it would not fit with how all other skills act.

If you are really wanting this to work, you can get a macro for your mouse or a keyboard that can use macros to automatically hit the skill of your choice. I had to test this at home, but yeah: I set up my keyboard to keep throwing a grenade of my choice for a long as I hold down my left mouse button.

When I play other classes, I just spam 1 anyway, because it tends to bug and stop auto-attacking.

How do you suggest autocasting on a targeted AOE skill should work? It doesn’t currently work for any other targeted AOE ability in the game, why should grenades be something special? I wouldn’t mind if grenades weren’t a targeted skill btw (making them work just like they do underwater).

What I’d like to see is another AOE targeting mode where the AOE would be targeted where your currently selected target is standing.

How about just having it autoattack regardless of where you point the cursor (for fast ground targeting) or where you place the aoe outline. You just need to place the cursor/outline before the casting animation/bar finishes. This would take away the constant finger destroying mechanic, but also allow players who like it that way to leave it as it is. I’d be happy with something like that.

The amusing thing about all this is imagining people’s reactions after the fight.

Not to the massive amount of grenades that flew during the battle, though – to the endless spamming of grenades until the person using them realizes that they’re going to continuously autocast to wherever their mouse cursor is, and that to fix that they need to turn off autocasting of their ground-targeted skill.

Underwater Grenade Kit does not require a ground target.
