Shield disarm

Post by Marcaeus »

If you have a 1h, or 2h weapon on while casting a spell it auto disarms, and casts, but if you have a 1h + shield the timing is bad on disarming both items, and the spell gets interrupted on the second item disarming. Can you fix the timing on that, so it doesn't get interrupted?

Is your razor Autodisarm working properly? I'd check there first, because I haven't experienced this problem yet

This looks like a razor timing issue, the razor is sending the command to cast the spell before the second item is disarmed. The only thing that I can think of offhand that could be done on the server side is delay cast for all spells, which would be less than desirable for unarmed mages.

I'll think on this.

Just hit your disarm button before you cast.

I meant just in the game without razor you can cast a spell, and it auto disarms. You can setup an undress hotkey in razor, but having to hit 2 keys vs. 1 makes parry undesireable and unfair, especially if you have magery as well. Plus if you lose a weapon you have to reset it up in razor. Just needs a pause on casting, or extra timing if you have a shield present I imagine.

Play with Razor more, learn it a bit and you will see that it's actually not a difficult task (I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just saying to become more familiar with it)

I have a warrior with 100 swords, tactics, anatomy, healing, magery, resist, and parrying. I don't have many issues with it
