Auto Attack failing to work

1. Title: Auto Attack failing to work
2. Reproduction Rate: 90%
3. Blocker? no
4. Details: character just standing still and playing getting hit animation, doesnt auto attack. i believe problem may lay in animations [same problem also on manual attack, cannot attack while getting hitted]
5. Steps to Reproduce: auto attack enabled. getting hit by multiple enemies from multiple directions simultaneously, wearing 2-handed great axe. (didnt test other weapons) also wearing on hit 5% self heal (diamond enchantment) on chest piece,

 

@Swan - After you enter war-mode, try hitting the "T" key to enable auto-attack. "T" toggles it on and off. (It makes no sense to me, but that's how it's currently designed).

 

i know and have war mode on, try going against 4-5 minions sametime and see how auto-attack stops working

edit, i also edited chest piece to reproduce, could also be reason

 

Had same issue my guy kept spinning around and not really auto attacking one monster

 

Also noticed trying to do charged or normal attack (clicking mouse) on similiar condition
has exact same problem, cannot attack.

 

We are not seeing this issue internally. We appear to be able to attack fine in both free attack and auto-attack while being surrounded by mobs attacking us. Have you checked your weapon's durability? Could it be broken? This shouldn't affect your ability to attack, but it does make me curious.

 

I tryed new weapon too that was not cause.
seems i can reproduce this everytime with big slime that divide to smaller ones.
also checked combat log not a single auto-attack was made after i was surrounded 3 or more slimes

 

I always have to move to get auto attack to work properly. If I stand still, it never works properly.
Very noticeable with a dagger, less so with a 2h weapon. Might be related to weapon reach? Not sure. But I have to re-position constantly to get auto attack to work even close to reliably, as of build 480.

 

after more testing.. i found reason!!
its the chest piece i was wearing with "on hit 5%:Heal Self"
i tryed my founder chest piece and could auto-attack normally.

 

I have found this to be the case with some creatures that seem by default(when the fighting gets started) just out of reach of the avatar's attacks but can still attack the avatar themselves. I find I have to always keep nudging myself forward. I use a longsword as primary weapon with dagger in off-hand.
