Control-delete, control-end, and control-pgdn are the default hotkeys to set the attack height. Right now that is all you can do to change it.


I have never personally found the need to change attack heights. Just attack low and you can hit any monster.



This means once you have it set, you don't need to change it or push a button again, until you move to another spawn of critters you can't hit with the current setting.

It's a sad day when the best melee in AC doesn't even want to change attack heights.

its easier and faster for me to control the whole thing myself than use vtank

vtank is used if i dont want to touch the keyboard
if i have to use the keyboard then theres no reason to use it

Translation:

If I can't UCM with the program the way I want, then I might as well just not use it.

If you're the best melee, archer, mage, and have the best guild in AC, might as well throw in the best programmer, and write your own plugin while you're at it.

Grafix, you know, some of us just like to watch our chars play. Some of us enjoy the mechanics of the setup rather than the finger action of the combat.

vtank is great for ACM, especially multiple clients at once.

and if occassionally hitting ONE KEY when mobs change and you need to attack at a different height level, then you are not turely ATM but UCMing

huh? I don't understand what you're saying.

You don't have to hit any keys to be ACM'ing.

I didn't argue that VTank wasn't great for ACMing, I use it myself, and agree. I was stating the fact that the OP was complaining that VTank wasn't doing everything for him, that it was too hard to push a key every now and then. I'm sorry, but if it's so difficult to push a key every now and then, my assumption, as I'm sure most would agree, is that the person is not ACM, rather they are UCM.

If you look at my post history, you'll see not only am I a supporter of VTank, and love the plugin, but that I've also made some suggestions to VI that I would like to see included. I just find this thread funny that the OP is trying real hard to sugar coat the fact that he's AFK, but not UCMing.
