Hi guys,

when i play in groups/dungeons or in keep defense ther are some situations where i just spam nades. I guess i am not the only one.

I hate it because i dont have autocast for the normal #1 Grenade. Is there a way to spam nades more easly then hitting #1 all the time?
I dont know any other #1 spell which uses ground targeting, but it would be nice to use autocast on them as well….

…..or am i just to stupid

You can’t turn it into autocast. But you can disable the ground targetting reticle and have the skill go off where your mouse cursor is whenever you hit the skill. I think the option is disable ground targetting or something like that in the options.

Map your #1 key to a middle mouse click if possible. It’s what I did and works great for throwing grenades while moving against moving targets.

I only just now realised how painful it must be for people that have to use WASD and spam 1 at the same time.

I don’t know what I’d do without my movement thumbstick

Ya thats exactly why I set it up to be a mouse click. I can easily understand why people hate and can’t stand grenades when they’re stuck playing that way especially if they’re playing without auto cast ground targeting. Just a minor change via mouse click or gaming pad makes it so effective even against moving targets.

Not stupid at all. Many of us have requested this feature to be changed just for the first two abilities on this kit so that we can continue to move and fight while dodging etc and because it’s inconsistent with other weapon kits in our arsenal.

We’re all hoping this is fixed in the next patch.

I might have to upgrade mine. I didn’t know they enhanced the placement of the buttons might make it easier to hit the Fkeys for those extra abilities us engis get.

I started doing this a couple weeks back, and it was one of the smartest remapping decisions I’ve ever made. Maybe one of these days I’ll get one of those fancy game controllers so I don’t have to WASD all over the place, but for now this (and mapping the self-heal to mouse button 4) are carrying me just fine.

Having it auto-cast would be REALLY nice, especially since its done already underwater. Though perhaps with a lower AoE radius(on just the 1 ability).
