Autoattack timer

There is a button in the Control Center for the calculator window. The timer bars do not exist yet on this site, we are discussing here how to implement them.

Hmm. How would you do that when the progress uses a decimal instead of a percentage? Integer converting? (I still don't fully understand it lol) Well have to set something up. I'm thinking that you would have to also use a good amount of automation for this as well.

I can tell right now that this is going to be a mission...

Me thinks a request to get this as dynamic data would be more constructive, unless they've stated that it won't happen?

DynamicData would certainly be the easiest. I have not talked to any dev about this and am not aware of any dev statements in this respect. Someone go ask them.

Without DD the code basically becomes a huge mess for it's size. You would have to do the math in the UI drago after converting the input string into a number (same style as subclass detection).

I knew it involved math! When I'm out of school/work I try to steer clear of any mathematical situation. I despise it. But in this case I will look more into it.

So what all Dynamic Data are we asking for?

Well if we can choose I'd take three DDs for Primary, Secondary and Ranged auto-attack reuse timers (or whatever they are called, basically the same thing we have for spells now).

Sounds like essentially what is in the /weaponstats command. Could probably make an entire DD node out of it. Can't be any worse than the Arena and Data nodes.
