[edit] Slash commands

I do not know how or where this needs to go but here is a list of the slash commands: From the WAR log file

Excellent, thanks. I'm sure someone can parse, format and enter this into an article, perhaps commands or some such. » Bishop · talk « 19:32, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Partially done, I have started the commands article and made a table, ready for updating. » Bishop · talk « 20:22, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Basic combat info

The wiki is hugely lacking in basic combat info for people who are not familiar with the WoW combat system. What's the role of weapon speed, etc etc that is very simple, but just not said anywhere. Anyone more faimiliar with the system care to start adding this info somewhere, like the combat or weapon page. -- (gem / talk) 23:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Not familiar myself, but I agree wholeheartedly. Any takers? ~ Revoran | talk 14:15, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I know some. I think the basics will be good for now, and save tactical advice for guides. --Lygris 14:19, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

This may be totally remedial, but being a total MMO newby (not to mention a WAR newby), I'd like to see auto-attack explained better. For instance, if it's automatic, what's the 'C' key for? Does it toggle it on and off? If it was off, are there certain things that will re-trigger it? I've definitely had times where I was not auto-attacking (as an experiment, I wouldn't touch any keys to see what would happen), but the next mob I was auto-attacking again without me doing anything. So, it's not yet clear to me. In Flammable 18:46, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Do we have an article on basic controls? If not I can make one, I got the original game manual as inspiration ^^. And to answer Flammable's question, C toggles the ability Auto Attack, clicking Auto Attack in the Action Bar has the exact same effect as pressing C, but by putting Auto Attack in the Action Bar you will be able to click it with your mouse and you won't need to remember exactly what key was bound to it.∞ Sunspots {Talk | Contribs} 19:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I'm still not convinced it doesn't toggle by itself sometimes, but I could be imagining things. My follow-up question is: why would you ever want to turn it off? In Flammable 19:41, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually still confused about the exact effects of speed, anyone care to elaborate? Otherwise the article is going to the right direction. -- (gem / talk) 21:21, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Turning off your auto attack can be quite useful for someone like the warrior priest, should he suddenly pull aggro. His detaunt ability only works properly if he doesnt attack his offensive target. I dont know whether other healer/support classes have a similar ability, but im quite sure that they do.—The preceding unsigned comment was made by 213.185.12.19 (contribs) .

Okay, I think I might have been a bit too strangely formulated there, I'll just copypasta from WoWwiki since it's the same thing, (Auto) Attack initiates general melee combat with the currently equipped weapon(s). Your character will continue to attack until the (auto) attack action is toggled off, an attack interrupting action occurs (turning the wrong way, getting stunned, etc.), or the target is dead. Although when turning the wrong way, the target going out of line of sight or by turning around, the Auto Attack is still active although the character doesn't attack the target. To be honest it's a bit difficult for me to explain since it's nothing I've really reflected over, but it is very easy to find how it works if you only try. (oh, I forgot to say, by right-clicking an enemy you turn on Auto Attack)∞ Sunspots {Talk | Contribs} 22:08, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
