Tiger claw timer?

[aubie]

I have a question about special attacks and auto attack. Does it matter when you hit the special attack? Or should you just press it when it refreshes.

I ask because when playing in first person view, it seems that it misses more often when I press it after refresh as opposed to waiting to see my main hand weapon attack swing across the screen. Could just be imagination, but it sure seems to connect more often when I wait for a main hand attack before pressing immediately after refresh.

Edit: referring to Dragon Punch on the monk.
