Wheel kick lags you two combat rounds. And movement lag can delay your commands for a good deal when you are following someone.

Normally in CF, it would look like this:

kill mob

***round***

***round***

(Now, you choose to spam wheel kick, normal writing repsents your commands, ***you wheel kick him*** is your wheel kick going through.)

wheel
**you wheel kick him***

wheel
wheel

***round***

***round***

***you wheel kick him***

***round***

***mob trips you, you are lagged for two rounds. Note that this does not stack with your wheel kick lag.***

***round, during which the mobs kicks your ass pretty badly. You decide to flee***
flee

***round***

***you wheel kick him***

***round, which you barely survive. You now wish that you hadn't spammed wheel kick.***

***round, during which you are killed by the first blow.***

***But you are not fighting anyone.(Your flee goes through, while you are ghost at the pit.)***


Now, let's think what would happen normally in the situation you described:

wheel
wheel
wheel
***Your wheel kick goes through, killing goblin. You are lagged for the duration of two combat rounds. The fact that combat ended does not change this.***

***you follow groupmate east. Groupmate moves fast all the time, not giving your commands much time to go through.***

***you follow groupmate east***

***you follow groupmate east***

***You aren't fighting anyone. Your second wheel kick went through. One pulse of lag for using a command(lags you similarly as inventory command).***

***Groupmate attacks goblin and you autoassist***

***round, during which you autoassist***

***Your third wheel kick goes through.***

***round***

***round***

***If you typed a command after that third wheel kick, it goes through at this point.***


Does it look like this?
