Checking If Within Range[]

If you have a ranged ability, power, spell, or weapon on your command bar (Auto-shoot for bows, guns and wands):

  • When the key-shortcut number is white (1), you are in range.
  • When the key-shortcut number is red (1), you are out of range.

Global Cooldown[]

Bear in mind that whenever you use an ability or an item, you will have to wait 1.5 seconds till you can use another spell or ability, this is called Global Cooldown. To ensure that you can use your next ability or spell as fast as possible, consider pressing the hotkey, or clicking on the button rapidly when Global Cooldown is almost at an end.
