Quickcast option

    Some other games have an optional toggle to enable 'quick casting' - it would be nice to see this in Tera.


    For example on lock-on heals (priest/mystic) what this could do is make the selection whilst your holding the button down and casting it on release. This get rids of additional button presses and speeds up the process.

    As it is now:
    ¹press button > ²release button > ³hover over people > ⁴press button > ⁵release button

    Quik cast enabled:

    ¹press button > ²hover over people people > ³release button


    For some other skills it could work even faster, take the gunner skill "bombardment". At the moment I need to:

    ¹press button > ²release button > ³move the indicator to the desired location > ⁴press button > ⁵release button

    As a somewhat seasoned caster of this particular skill I have no desire to do the whole positioning bit, I know where my crosshair is aiming and thus where the skill will be, quick cast could reduce this to a ¹² process rather than ¹²³⁴⁵. Do note the positioning could still be part of it (¹³²) but if you were to simply tap the button for it you basically perform a ¹² combo instantly casting it.


    Do note I'm just giving examples of the skills, there will be many more in the game that could benefit from this.

    Maybe you people want some mod or bot to play the game for you? How's that sound?

    Did you read his suggestion? I don't think so.


    It's about the fast paced combat of the game and how this lock-on mechanic just slows its down for every ranged and healer class. The cheat you mentioned just locks-on everything you can reach I think, but this quickcast suggestion is about reducing the amount of clicks needed, you still need to target everything yourself.


    Ariel.Lily Blame cheaters where its appropiate.


    This is actually a good idea to improve the combat system.

    why ya being like that?


    this is a reasonable request that would also work as QoL for many classes that suffer from being gated by input, this is not automation in the same sense of botting is, its changing the relevant skills to assume certain inputs instead of requiring extra button presses: its not automation, it streamlines those skills ot actually feel as fast as the rest of combat system.

    If I used such things I wouldn't need to request a feature that has no need for them them :).

    From what I understand the proxy modders have a single button to target the lowest health players within range and cast the heal all in one button press. I don't want to automate the game I just want to streamline the gameplay optionally adding a feature that lets you press less buttons doing the same thing.


    Starcraft 2, Heroes of the Storm and LoL are games that have similar options.
