Tip - Playing with Haze/Banestrike

[alcoholen]

I got my chanter to 105 and jumped on the haze thingy. My group are SK, mage, wiz, enc and 2 mercs.
I wasnt really happy with the downshit results.
So being lazy, I turned off my encs macro. Slapped on the good old ranger Autofire program. 50ms timer and banestrike my pet. And poof, no slows or mez.. But pretty much constant haze in group from one keypress :P
Maybe worth it if your doing stuff that does'nt require crowd control or slowing and you are caster heavy.

just take the !${Me.Song[Chromatic Haze]} out of the downshit and it will do the same thing.

Its much slower than 50 ms, or did it just seem so?

For whatever reason, even taking out the !${Me.Song[Chromatic Haze]}, it wouldn't fire as quickly as I would prefer and I tried many different variations to increase the click. So, it wouldn't surprise me if there is an alternative, and better, method - which it appears you've found one. However, if you are doing anything else on the Enchanter I found it works in okay.

I don't know anything about the autofire program you're referring to and I'd be interested to try it out - could you provide some more info on that?

I think the only issue I see with this as it makes this character pretty much useless for anything else.

I think it will be VERY easy to spot someone using this because it does show text that your casting a spell over and over again.

If you really want to speed it up just set it up on a simple mac. Xtar 1 being the pet

#turbo 100
Sub Main
:loop
/xtar 1
/casting "Banestrike"
}
/goto :loop

FWIW, if you use mq2bot, there is a setting for DoChromaticHaze=1 to auto use an AA to spam it while also still doing everything else.

The old autofire is from when the rangers had to mash range attack. I used it for simple afking before i came here. I think you can find it here:http://www.axiomfiles.com/Files/206882/autofire.htm
if not i can email it to you.
Ps. It must be run as admin, or it wont work.

Correct Pete but they are more concerned with having it constantly up using the exploit of casting banestrike on pet to trigger it from the proc.

I didn't wanna say it so I'm glad you did... but yeah... thanks for that feature! Very nice

looks like its fixed from test notes.

Was fun while it lasted. They actually made the ability better overall (provided you weren't ever doing this in the first place).
