Sarnax.8357 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Every time I use this I keep auto attacking and it immediately brings me out of stealth. Correct me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the execution of Dagger 5 stop auto attack so you can reposition for a backstab?What am I missing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jugglemonkey.8741 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I have autos disabled by default both on the skill bar and in options, it's not worth losing the stealth from something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alatar.7364 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 That's strange, I have auto attack turned on and it doesn't apply to Stealth attack, it just stops when I enter stealth even when using CnD to get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autoattack on and no problems with CnD. Maybe make a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dea Beyond.5183 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 IT happened to me too , is it bugged actually , it doesnt do the attack of nr 1 skill it does a 2nd cloack and dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lan Deathrider.5910 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 If you think it is bugged, then key bind about face so that the AA chain is broken. That would be a way around it. Weapon stow is again another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But backstab is a flipover skill, its not available before stealth. If you prep dagger#5, and press #1 before it flipsover, it might be queueing a regular #1.

Lag can also make things cast twice, so as you say having stow weapons bound can be useful.@Lonewolf Kai.3682 said:As others have stated, disabling auto attack is essential for thief.Problem for me is that if I run manual, then using things like sword3, sword2 will not stop the manual sword 1. making it extremly clunky. Same with shortbow 1 vs needing to quick sb3. Died alot i #1 animations that way.Have you tried assigning your 1 skill to a thumb button on your mouse? That way you can just hold the button down to continue auto attacking without restricting movement or overloading the skill queue.@Sarnax.8357 said:Every time I use this I keep auto attacking and it immediately brings me out of stealth.
