Anyway we can fix the issue of when you have a primary or secondary weapon ability set and then it becomes unproqued when you cast a spell. It would be nice to see other weapon abilities used other than parafear/triple slash. Maybe enable players the ability to use specials like disarm/bleed/infecting/mortal/etc without having to set some crazy macro to maybe get the special to go off while casting. I dunno... Maybe I haven't figured it out. Any other input on this? On osi I just to be able to precast explosion and nail and parablow then target the explosion, here I can't get it to work. Thanks.

This would prove to be lazy and would throw your ability of being skillfull and pressing those little amazing buttons that make you a better pvper out the window. Not to mention ... youll make the people that are overpowered even more overpowered.. this is a bad idea.... trust me on that. sorry chun it just is

Just wanted to comment: that's how RunUO is configured by default.

I had originally thought it would be a bad idea as well. I could just spam mortal strike during a harm spam then. I know its osi accurate and all, but I do feel it would hurt people more than help. Though if thats what the people want who am I to complain. I'll gladly start using it.

Well the difference between a mortal harm spam is I would actually be able to avoid the harm spam by moving tiles away and getting offensive spells in. Now a parafear harm spam I am defenseless, sitting and waiting to maybe get one or two mini heals in before I am parafeared again. Just think it would be more interesting than the same ole routine.

i just use the 'playmacro' command at the end of my spell macro.

your
spell
macro
here
playmacro 'primary ability'

Primary ability macro (loop):
@setability 'primary' 'on'
attack 'enemy'
pause 300

this way you everytime you stop casting it will spam your ability on.

Defeats the purpose of holding spells, but I'll give it a go. I have most of my spells except 3 on hot keys instead of macros.

Correct me if I'm wrong but do you swing or use ranged weapons while casting? I didn't think you did, so the Harm spam with Mortal, would only take place if you paused to swing every now again? Either way, I don't fully agree with this. Maybe if there is a way to make it where non-harmful spells don't cause it to un-click, but offensive/harmful spells do would work.

Or even one step in a different direction, cause even the augmented skills to un-click when casting. Would add a new aspect to pvp imo.

Not a fan of the wep specials that you toggle and they stay perma-on like the wep augs but i don't think having them toggle off with casting is a solution.  The fact that they are gump-based makes it a super bulkly system to create casting macros around that will toggle it back on after casting.  There's like a 200ms latency from when you press the toggle button to when it disappears/shows back up to show that the special is toggled.
