Okay I just want to say that this has happened to me atleast 10 times before I decided to post and it ruined me in every fight because of the wasted global and energy.

I have noticed that when I cheap shot and go into some backstab spam. (I am spamming my backstab skill) my character will randonmly do a fan of knives.

First off, I have no macros with FoK, OR is it even on my bar because I never use it.

So I really really, hope that somebody looks into that because that is just...terrifying.

Currently level 84 Rogue, Sub spec, just incase

I am questing , man, I and I just did this . I did a backstab out of stealth and he casted fan of knives instead.

This is seriously driving me BONKERS. Somebody please tell me whats going on O.O


Is your backstab key in stealth bound to the same key un-stealthed? Or is fan of knives the same key or adjacent to it?

You might also want to check your keybindings and macros carefully.

What Springgrinner said.. To the GM.. I dont have intricate keybinds.. but he is 100% right into my situation.


I'm sorry to hear it. I'm not a GM (I'm a CM), but perhaps you can bind backstab to the same key both within and outside of stealth, to avoid accidental Fan of Knives spam?

If you're experiencing that kind of UI latency, you might want to head over to the UI & Macros forum or the Technical support forum to see if anyone has tips for speeding things up. If it's "true" latency then that's one thing, but sometimes having out of date or conflicting mods can cause some issues.
