Cast on key down

[Moozart]

I saw on the front page patch notes that this feature was being added. just wanted to let anyone know that didnt that we have been able to have this feature for years now using the mod below SnowfallKeyPress. having actions work on keydown shaves a good .5 second off a action, ive used this since its come out and love it.

I don't quite get what "on key down" means...

Anyone mind explaining?

Nvm, just read the addon description.

I use it too, its quite good.

It doesn't save you 0.5 second but it does save you some =P I'm Using SpeedyActions.

What it does is taht it allows you to cast a spell when u push the button in stead of when u release the button which is how it works at the moment.

it is exactly what is says :P

if you have a spell bound to 1 now, if you press down the 1 key and don't release it, the spell will not cast until you release the 1 key.
with this, when you push down the 1 key, the spell will cast right away.
hope that helps

If you hold the key nothing happens,when you release it the cast/skill occurs now it will be casted when you press it

Is this gonna make a huge difference tho? Since, on instants there is the gcd, and on casts you can cast the next spell right before the cast time on the first one is over.

Currently the way spells work is that it will not fire the abilitity until the key you press for it has been released (key up) what key down does is fire that ability when you press the key down (key down)

makes all the difference when it comes to fast cast times and interupts

I like having them "on key up".

unsing speedyactions now, for sure it helps your performance.

i love the idea of enabling/disabling ti in game.

It is beneficial for those who can get used to it, and being a good thing to have one less addon.
It is optional for that reason.

Well optional until 4.1

[Taryble]

No, it's still optional in 4.1 - just that those who want that option will be able to do it in the base UI, instead of needing an addon to do it.

I know I'm not gonna use this feature. I like it how it is now. As for that mod, I saw it a few days ago but before that I had never heard of it before.

[Mammoth]

Its optional but default to being on. It doesn't hurt most people to add this, in fact it'll make us all slightly faster. The reason it is optional for the people that have a habbit of resting their finger on the button waiting for the pull.

For most people you won't notice the difference.

Bartender 4 has it too. It's the difference between 0 and 1 tick of arcane storm on Heroic Maloriak
