Melee attack macro to save my thumb.

Question/Request

I haven't been playing for very long, but after experiencing wisps attack speed buff to my melee weapon, I have had trouble clicking fast enough to keep a combo going. Did some research on macros and it looks like everyone was looking for "slide attack macros" like a year ago. Not interested in that, just want something I can use to hold down on my mouse for when attack speed gets into ridiculous territory to save my thumb.

I realize this is probably a bit of a controversial topic, but I'm hoping someone has a solution that will work for me.

I found a script that doesn't quite work, maybe some advice would be appreciated.My melee attack is bound to mouse4 (XButton1)I want the mouse4 button to be pressed every 50ms when I hold down the mouse5 button (Xbutton2)I'd like to toggle the script on and off with the Delete key.

Modified something I found online and got this:When I hold down Mouse5, it melee attacks once then stops.

Edit: Binding melee to mousewheel was the proper solution. Thanks!

Change the button you use obviously, but when you press F9 and attack it'll just keep attacking. Fair warning I've only used it once when I damaged my thumb, and I'm not banned.

the standard solution to this problem is to bind melee to mouse wheel.

DE does NOT like macros. If you're ban because of that (yes it happens), the support will not help you. Sometimes they are forgiving and let you a last chance, but sometimes not

I added the mouse scroll up as a second hot key for melee. It’s not the same as a macro, but pretty easy to use nonetheless.
