Pressing T and C

Why is it that when I press t and c, the targetted or closest enemy is selected correctly, but i don't attack him. I can cast spells on him, but if i want to attack him with my staff (im a necro), i have to physically click on the enemy - which sometimes isnt easy when there are people rushing around and getting in between me and the enemy. Is there a reason for this?

Wouldn't it be better if when you press t or c you actually attack the enemy instead of just running into the range of the enemy and just stopping?

Use space after hitting T or C and you will perform your 'default action' on it, which in the case of enemies is attacking with your weapon.

To attack the target you selected in this manner, press the spacebar.

Are you selecting an attack when you use t or c? Those are only 'select' keys. You have to hit spacebar or one of your skillbar hotkeys (1-8) to actually attack them.

All hail the 'Do it' button

Pressing T and C just targets them. If you want to attack, just hit your space bar right after.

Alot of times when I'm in the random arenas with my Me/N, I like to attack one caster, and when that character is near death I target the closest next caster. That way I'm ready when the toon that I'm attacking goes down.

Edit: Got beat to the punch by alot, lol

Bloody hell that was quick, 5 reiplies in the space of 5 minutes. Well, i mst thank you all - i had never realised that - that'll make playing a lot easier in future. Once again, thanks to you all for helping a newbie like me so quckly

press T and then space. Space is the default button for action. It will make you talk to people, follow people, and attack enemies.

seperation of target and action is very useful. so I don't accidently attack a group of 50 charrs when I only wanted to check what level they are, or whatever.

uhm.....I wish I could see other peoples key configurations cuz I just select targets by either hitting T to switch to called targets or by clicking my mouse on them.

I use C, then CTRL+(1-8) or just CTRL+Space when with a group. If I'm doing a preparation or trap, I make sure to call it out before I call a target. Lets the group know that I'm gonna be about 2-3 secs before battle begins.

I'm pretty sure that some classes automatically attack after using a skill on an enemy but others, you must hit spacebar after using a skill because they do not auto attack after using that skill.

My ranger automatically attacks after using a skill. Perhaps someone could check this out?

5:00AM and past my bedtime

I don't think it's a class thing, I think it's just that attack skills will automatically cause you to continue attacking while other skills will not.

I also use tab to cycle through targets when laying down degens and stoof.
