Tauren war stomp and melee autoattack (classic)

Support Customer Support
1

I am playing a tauren shaman, and whenever I use the racial war stomp my autoattack pauses during the whole stun duration.

I searched the internet for this, but all I find is resolved around other client versions than classic. There is supposedly a setting called “stop autoattack”, which can be unchecked. But I cannot find this in the classic client settings. Am I blind, is it supposed to be like this, or is it a bug that is to be fixed?

All other players can continue their attacks, and I can cast spells on the stunned target. It only seems to be the melee swings that completely stop up.

Also, I apoligize if I am posting this in the wrong forum. I was a bit confused where to ask for this.

Hi Nela

To the best of my understanding, casting War Stomp basically resets your weapon swing timer. Looking over your gear, I’m seeing a big 2-handed Axe with a Speed of 3.8. That means that when you finish War Stomp, it’ll be a whole 3.8 seconds before your next auto attack swing. Spells, meanwhile, aren’t impacted by your swing speed

War Stomp only lasts for 2 seconds, so that’d be why you just stand there not attacking for the duration. If you hit War Stomp just before an auto attack, that can mean a huge amount of time spent not swinging, so be sure to time it effectively
