What it does

If you have no living enemy targeted, it targets the nearest one, as Tab does. Then it starts auto-attack.

How to use

Press it to start every melee fight. Unlike the Attack button, pressing it again never stops your swings.

Requirements

  • From level 1

Nothing beyond the spells in the macro.

How it works

  1. /targetenemy [noharm][dead]
    • Option 1:Target the nearest enemy (as Tab does)When:It isn't an enemy
    • Option 2:Target the nearest enemy (as Tab does)When:It is dead
  2. /startattack
    • Start auto-attack

Limitations

  • It keeps your current target while that target is an enemy and alive.
