Start Fight

The initial attack mode is "Start Fight". This attack mode occurs just before a fight with a mob is initiated. Combos for this mode might include, buffing spells, telling a pet to attack the mob, an initial DOT spell, using a bow to pull a mob, etc. Lets create a Start Fight Combo for a bow user. Lets say your attack bar looked something like this.

When ever you want to fight a mob, you pull it with the spell in slot number 2, in this case it is "Barbed Arrow".

The first thing you want to do is set the "Priority" for this combo. Since we are only going to have one combo in this mode we will leave the priority at the default of "0". Remember the lower the priority the more it will try to use that spell or action. It is recommended to have each hotkey a different priority.

We are going to leave the delay at the default as well, because we don't care about it right now since this will only fire at the start of battle. If you would like to know more about the delay please see "Hot Keys "

We do not care what our health is at the start of a fight so we will leave this at the default of 100% health, which means it will always go off no matter what our health is.

This is going to be a ranged attack, which means it can be used at a distance, but that distance is limited. This character can only shoot his "Barbed Arrow" at a maximum distance of 40 yards. So we are going to set "Max Range" to "40".

We only want to use this spell if we are out of melee range so we are going to set the minimum range to "10". If you wanted to use this spell even in melee range you could leave it at the default of "0". Also if we just wanted to stand back and fire arrows we could set "No" for "Move to mob" option under "Movement " in Bot Options Tab .

Now we are ready to click the "Add Combo" button. Please not that once we click the add combo button we can no longer change any of the options at the top. The only thing we are going to be able to change is the number of the hotkey we want to press, and whether or not you must press "CTRL:ALT:SHIFT". We are not going to go into Advanced at this time. Please see Advanced Hotkeys section for that.

Once you click the "Add Combo" button, we can start adding hot keys. Under Start Fight Mode, the hot key option is available. This is where we want to tell it to push the "Barbed Arrow" key to start our fight. On the window "Barbed Arrow" has a number 2 next to it so that if you press the number 2 on your keyboard, it will fire the arrow.

Start Fight is now done and it is time to move to the most important attack mode of all Single Mob .
