Mouse click always attempts to fire arrow, even if empty?

Mouse click always attempts to fire arrow, even if empty?

#1 Post by sunspire »

I am playing as temporal warden. Even when I switch equipment sets so that a melee weapon is wielded, clicking on an adjacent enemy will attempt to fire an arrow, even if quiver is empty. I find this incredibly annoying as I am playing on a laptop with no number pad, so moving diagonally with a key to attack is annoying. Yes, it attacks with melee weapon if I use movement key, but on mouse click, it always tries to fire an arrow.

Is there any solution to this?

Yes, this bugged me as well. It's been a little while since I played, but I believe if you right click your shoot icon you can unbind the left click from it. Either that or it's in hotkeys.

What I generally do with a TW is that mouse is always bound to melee attacks and I shoot to fire an arrow. It avoids surprises...

Well, I did find a solution finally. Apparently, the mouse click is bound to the shoot function by default.. it can be disabled by going into the skill menu and right clicking "shoot". So I bound attack to the left mouse click and "shoot" to the 1 hot key. So now I double-tap 1 to shoot the nearest enemy, and click when i want to melee.

I hope this helps someone who has a similar issue. It would be better if it is handled in a more intelligent way. Left-clicking should be to attack with whatever default weapon you have equipped, not just "shoot", but I guess there is no way for that unless someone updates the code..
