The problem i was able to duplicate with legacy targeting turned on.
What it does is, say iw ant to cast magic arrow fireball.
If i cast magic arrow, hit cursor last target on mouse wheel, pause a moment, and then hit fireball, cursor last target. both cast fine.
but say i do not pause, i cast magic arrow, cursor last target on mouse wheel, and then immediately cast fireball. Nothing casts. if i do this with a key, instead of the mouse wheel, it works properly.
That being said, i did try to regular targeting, and i cannot figure out how to have the regular targeting give me a cursor mid "fight"
say im attacking someone, i cast on them, and then i do not have to keep hitting the last target button, it just keeps automatically casting on them. Great, but then i want to cast a field on the ground, or cast on a different target, can i not just get a cursor? in this case do i have to then hit my clear target queue macro, before then casting on a different target?
In pvp this would just take to long, as things need to be just about instantaneous at times. If there is a way to always cast, get a cursor, and hit last target on my mouse wheel (just like it is in 2d) then let me know, as im not sure what im doing lol. But keep in mind, if there is, it may do the same thing as before. It is almost like "overcasting" a spell, or casting another spell too quickly, but the pause between spells takes a very long time compared to its 2d counterpart.
I could just stick with 2d for pvp as i have up to this point, but i want to give this client a shot, and my main reason for playing uo is pvp with a mage.
EDIT: To attempt to elaborate more on it, since the new targeting system does not appear to have the function that i'd like it to do, do this to duplicate it with legacy targeting on)
Set a mouse wheel function for cursor Target Last
make a macro for weaken
Cast weaken and target someone/something
now attempt to chain cast weaken on it using the mouse wheel for last target. It should go -cast weaken-get target-immediatly hit last target wheel. Occassionally you will be able to cast and target 2 times in a row, but most of the time, unless you pause for a moment, it is cast target cast cast target cast cast target cast cast target cast target cast cast target.
Hopefully that makes sense
Now, make a macro with Cursor Target Last, but assign it to a key on the keyboard.
Repeat casting weaken, then targeting with the key for last target
You will see that every time you will successfully be able to cast, which brings up the cursor, and immediately hit your key for target last.
Which ends up looking like:
cast target cast target cast target cast target cast target cast target (with the spell argeting them every time)
Versus this:
cast target cast cast target cast cast target cast cast target cast target cast cast target.
Very big difference imo. Especially in pvp.
If you need more information form me let me know, if you still cannot duplicate it maybe we can get together and i can show you somehow.
