What is 'autotabbing'?

I have played UO forever and have never heard anyone complain or mention 'autotabbing'

What does it do?
How does it help them win?
Is it a razor macro?

Yes i'm pretty sure I figured this much out.
My question is, why are people complaining about it?

I dont get how ppl work this out...

Do you just make a loop macro in razor and let it run and stop it when you want to hit your target, then start it again?

It might sound stupid but I don't have much experience of UO PvP since... IPY.. I guess

Thanks

Ok I feel stupid but how do you swing if this thing keep you out of combat all the time..

I can see how you can do it with an archer but hardly with sword

I guess when you know how to do it you dont waste your swings

I used to put some tab out on my last target macro to make sure I dont punch someone after trowing an offensive spell but I dont know about a macro that loop it

I guess you can set it on you arm/unarm macro so that when you arm your weapon it stops auto tabbing macro and when you unarm it restarts.. that's probably what I would do.. just my 2c.

I just tought of that but im not ingame to test it so.. it might not work at all :)

I dont know the details but im pretty sure you need to use a attack last macro with it.

They spam tab to stay out of combat so their swings cannot be stolen.

Then they run up to whoever they're attacking and use "attack last".

Insta-hit guarantees the swing.


If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.



Exec: Toggle War/Peace
check loop
hit play

Tabbing is merely a way to ensure a swing in combat, and it prevents a wasted hit from a punch.
