The switching between buffs are about teh same time as well, but its just looks different because its covered by the animation. When you get hit, you can pot instantaneously, this is what i am finding so far. For example, if you are spamming Strafe and switch to a buff the normal way,, for a brief second you will go to the rest point and caste the buff. Hurricane does the same thing, except the brief rest point is covered up by an animation. During the disappearing of the animation you can pot.

Meh.. in a gsketchy way, yes. the normal usage no. also in Leafre when you get hit your not gonna stand there and try to take anohter hit, your gonna pot, so the spamming of the skill while potting is neglible in high level maps.

Maybe Hawk makes it okay to pause attacking, but without it, you definitely should utilize the delay between attacks to pot.

The Overlord Posts: 1,496 Group: Admin Member #1 Joined: May 9, 2007	I've actually heard that hamstring + hurricane is a godly combo. I think it was YukonJack on sleepy that put 5 points into it and said it was better than SE or mastery because it really helped control the mobs. Perhpas hamsring could also negligate potting problems.

If hit by a high level monsters MAGIC attack, I might keep spamming Strafe. I'd probably refreeze the guys if they weren't almost dead though

Perhpas hamsring could also negligate potting problems. there isn''t any potting problems. I guarentee 100% that if you died while using Hurrricane, you would have died using Strafe. Thats how close they are two each other. Xcept hurricane allows more mobility. So far I only find one disadvantage, which probaly has to be looked at in actuallity compared to Strafe, which is if you get hit, you stop attacking. and again when you get hit in leafre, you want to pot, and or back up, getting hit and stopping pretty much saves your life. and yes, based on how I envisioned Hamstring to work it would actually increase a Bowmasters DoT in terms of actual gameplay, where many variables take place, which is hard to see on paper, and why it is difficult for other players to believe that throwing in at least 3 points by level 125 would be advantageous. At Sap. Hurricane is different still from Strafe no matter how similar. hurricane has a semi-cont kb effect, and again starts up just like any other skill. Ittakes roughy .2 seconds to pot and cast hurricane again, thats practically the same as Strafe spamming and potting. again its hard to explain unless u actually used the skill. Like I said before, if you are having problems with a monster and potting, the problems will most lkely exist with Strafe if not more. and in rre circumstances, Dragon Breath exists for a reason.

That wouldn't happen anyways. With auto HP, you're always above the alert amount. You start spamming Hurricane, if you get hit you stop spamming and it'll pot. If you don't get hit, it won't have to pot. Unless you get poisoned or something.
