Thought I was tarded didn't you?

+1 everyone, years ago on live I would swear to my roommates using the mouse while auto attacking was slowing things down. Hard to tell on my old sk but with a monk it's pretty obvious there is something going on

Is this dude serious

No. Stuck it traffic. Was just going with it till somebody offered a hacked Wii steering wheel app

I truly will be amused if I see someone doing that.

for me, third person view reduced accuracy, fight in first person to never miss

It seems the new forum meta is to post misinformation, perhaps in an attempt to return p99 to EQ's cloudy mystique of days gone by?

/Q to enable the Quick autoattack is also nice

I started this thread after getting that iksar mask with the negative 20-something Charisma and remembering how we would have endless arguments over if negative charisma helped necros or not 4 days. This is just one of the many things we would have endless discussions about over what was real and what wasn't back when alla didn't have s*** for formation. My roommate playing the ranger probably wore out his Xscape button by hitting his Auto attack on and off trying to get procs

Why does this sound like something sean spicer would say? #alternative facts

Autoattack is serversided and has nothing to do with your mouse.

HOWEVER...

Mouse inputs are absolutely more responsive than keyboard inputs. You can hit a mouse input faster than a keyboard input due to the effort required to press the key. As for 'steering' your character? The only thing that you might run into is missed autoattacks due to the vector of your character on your screen versus the vector of your character on the server. The client only sends a limited number of update packets, so what you're seeing versus what the server sees is not always correct - this leads to missed autoattacks, and the 'timer' will reset. Never will it actually slow down the attack, but if you're not facing the target, you can miss an autoattack round entirely.
