Combat Timer - Githubissues

Combat timer should be from 4.5 to 6.5 seconds. It is not random, but rather works in a similar manner to the DR timer.

Combat timer is 4.5 seconds, but the server checks in a 2 second interval whether combat has expired. This 2 second timer, is the same time that is responsible for energy ticks.

This same timer is also the same timer responsible for the so called "5 second rule", which activates non-combat mana regeneration in combat.

The above video very clearly shows it being linked to combat timer. Woundman also has an addon that tracks how long it has been since the last "combat action", counting down from 5 seconds. It's the best and most memorable evidence, although I remember seeing a video where someone restealthed after improved gouge (5.5 seconds), dropping combat before the duration ended.

The above evidence is a little inconclusive, because you can see his addon wrongly refreshing the timer, when Earth Shield is casted on him.

Two more videos showing minimum duration: https://youtu.be/DGtsAvpn3xo?t=171 https://youtu.be/Dig13kEe40w?t=411

It is possibly from 5 to 7 seconds.
