More than one power set to auto?

Is there any way to set two powers to autofire; ie Rage from SS & Active Defense from SD?

CTRL-left click only does for one, is it possible to set via a macro?

No, sorry.

Its one of the limitations they've put in to help prevent bots from just standing in one place and racking up points. Only one auto-fire power is allowed.

^ Actual bots would have no problem simulating keyboard input. I would guess the purpose was more to curb AFK farming.

And no, you cannot do this via macro. You cannot set a macro button to auto-fire.



Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.

I did this ages ago on my Mind/Radiation Controller:

/bind 1 "powexecslot 1$$powexecauto Hasten"
/bind 2 "powexecslot 2$$powexecauto Accelerate Metabolism"

Which meant that as I fought (using the 1 and 2 keys as some of my main single target powers) my auto power would change, and probably fire off both of them as they recharged, as long as I didn't button mash too wildly. Between combats, quickly pres 1 or 2 to set the one you think will come up next as auto.

In Wentworths or social situations, pressing either key twice makes the auto power deactivate.

Its not perfect, but it works quite well.

That's a work around that I was going to post about. It's kindasorta not the same thing as having more than one power on auto. There're some variations on that with loading and unloading different binds etc that can make the process more complicated if you like. But the gist is you want to check if you can fire one of the powers all the time. And the above and repetitions of that are quite functional for most purposes.

I like this and hadn't thought about it before. I will use this on my SS/SR Brute. Gets a bit annoying keeping track of Hasten, Rage, and Practiced Brawler.
