Does anyone know if rogue combo points carried over to the next mob if you didn’t use them? I feel like I remember it being like that, but then again human memory is garbage haha so I thought I’d ask here.
If you don’t get what I mean, here is the scenario:
I attack a boar and gain 3 combo points on that boar, but I don’t use them. Would those 3 combo points move over to the next mob I attack?
They did not.
We don’t know how Mouseovers worked (or no-one can prove one way or the other).
No. They disappear as soon as you change targets. Additionally if your target dies, you can’t slice and dice off their corpse.
Currently if I mouse over gouge a second target on beta, I lose all combo points on the original target since gouge generates a new combo point. However if I mouse over kick / blind a secondary target, I won’t lose cbs on the original target as those abilities don’t generate new cbs.
That’s the Classic method. As yet, I haven’t seen anyone provide a video or post from the Vanilla era saying that you could mouseover kick someone and not lose combo points on your target.
For now, I’m assuming that its authentic though.
Pretty sure mouse over macros didn’t exist in vanilla
They did, I used them, please don’t start that argument.
No arguing, I just wasn’t aware.
CPs were always only lost on generation on a new target. So no, kick won’t drop CPs on the old target. It was only changed many expacs later to be generated on the player.
When fighting 2 mobs and 1 is a caster you fight the non caster while kicking the caster to prevent them from casting. Once the non caster is dead you turn to the caster. Never lost CP’s while doing that.
As far as I remember, it was changing targets. So if you accidentally changed targets and went back, without a single ability use, it reset.
Nope, scouting targets was nothing new and premed made it really easy to see as I would use it, sap, switch to open on the original target. I would also kick secondary targets. Have to be careful when using the talent Setup though, when it activates it will drop the CPs on the previous target.
You have to change targets to kick. Kick does not erase CP on the original target.
This is incorrect, at least on beta. You don’t have to change targets to kick a 2nd target, you use a mouseover macro. And if you do change targets, you lose all combo points.
Oh so your saying on beta if you have combo points on a boar and you decide to kick a scorpion for the sake you lose combo points on the boar?
Kick never gave combo points and because of that it didn’t erase combat points in the past. Gouge which gave combo points there for using it on a target that doesn’t have combo points erases from previous target.
Yeah from what I remember kick was a safe move to use on separate targets like blind and wouldn’t erase from the one you left points on in the past classic-wotlk era from my memory.
Yes if you change targets to the scoprion. The simple act of selecting a new target will erase all combo points on the original target. So the only way is to mouseover kick
#showtooltip Kick
/cast [@mouseover,harm,nodead]Kick; Kick
But if you mouseover gouge you will also lose all cb’s since gouge generates a new cb. So changing targets or mouseover gouge will reset all cbs in beta.
By changing targets do you mean focused, because that sounds messed up from what I remember your combo points would remain on the original target even if you swap who your focus target was.
Focus target doesn’t work in beta lol :< And by changing targets I mean…changing targets. If you click a new target, if you press escape to deselect or you tab to a new npc…just changing targets lol
Oh by focus I mean main target tabbing between.
Wow, so bugged. Should probably report it.
