click broadcasting for melee party

Since melees do the damage in this game, I tried a fighter party. But broadcasted clicks didn't seem to work, or only worked after many seconds of delay. Is this just my display not updating what the 2nd, 3rd etc fighters are doing or is there something wrong with how broadcast works in DDO? Has anyone found a way to use the auto attack toggle, or another method, to make multiple melees useful? Maybe you could build your characters to have enough cleaves to continually attack - then you could melee the same way you do spells, and spells work for me.

I can't answer your other DDO specific questions, but I can answer this one.

If you're basing this question off of watching your second and third fighters through the eyes of another character's game client and not their own, then what you're seeing is a visual delay due to latency, and the higher the latency the more pronounced the delay is.

Can you not see their game clients in your Window Layout? If so, when you broadcast your click, do they not immediately perform the action they're supposed to?

I tried to log in this team and check if I could see them swinging in their own windows, but I'm still having that problem launching slots that is mentioned here: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=9514 The diagnostics are up on pastebin for a few more days, links given in that other post. Thanks for your response! I can hardly believe that broadcast is just broken because it works for spells. Maybe there's hope for my fighter party!
