When do we get to see a video of improved abilities, with no stamina bar and auto-attack? I am really curious to how this will work.
Just a wee bit confused considering the patch is going (hopefully) to be released soon, and haven't seen or heard anything on it. There was a comment mentioning that it is going to happen.

what an odd question.
how the hell could any of use know something like that? they've never given a date as to when they'd post any videos of anything up.

I thought mages weren't getting an Auto Attack... hmm. Not sure about Archers.

Checked with the dev. team regarding questions about archers and their ability to auto-attack. Auto-attack as a system will initiate when the player is fighting an enemy in close range. While archers will be able to auto-attack enemies while in close range it won't be with arrows. New animations will be implemented to make this all happen!
They will, but it'll be a little different.Quote:
A few more answers to "auto-attack"-related questions we've seen pop up:
- Disciples of Magic will have an auto-attack when in close combat range
- Attack speed will differ based on the weapon used by each class

Well they are getting both getting auto attack I believe but only at close range like in FFXI. They also said Archers close range auto attack would not use arrows, this could be a hint at them being able to equip another weapon like a knife.
Also the suggestion that mages also have to be close range for auto attack make me think that they will actually hit the Mob and not use Spirit/Phantom Dart, if this is the case are they gearing up for a bigger change to the Class system than we know, hopefully the removal of Weapon=Class is on the cards. -

I remamber AA for mages is only on melee range, and think archer too. Maybe you'll see melee weapons for archers :3

And just like that the answer appears on Lodestone ^^

It says Archers fight with their fist up close.
And I doubt we'll see a video, since its so close to release. -
06-30-2011, 08:44 PMColinoI find it funny they didn't even find the time to implement 3 or 4 daggers for them to use as sub weapon.Quote:

06-30-2011, 08:51 PMviionIt is indeed, im just wondering how it will play out, cuse in XI your ranged weapon came out on activation only, where as here it is out 24/7, so hes gunna be punching 1 hand at a time.Quote:

that all takes time to develop and them using their fists like a PUG---which are animations already implimented in the game--- is proof that archer is not bard. -
06-30-2011, 09:09 PMColinoAll it's proof of is that the dev team was too lazy to actually make new gear that isn't a re-skin. Something they haven't done in ages.Quote:

Never said it's a video, but isn't really recicled.
Since a lot of people asking how secondary attacks will end, that's you answer -
06-30-2011, 09:24 PMColinoThen you posted in the wrong topic, this one is asking specifically about DoM and Archer. The one about secondary attacks is http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...o-attack-is-inQuote:

Remember that classes will get complete overhauls in the near future so saying Conjurer can't be WHM, etc, is moot considering they are not in final form.
I wonder how the fist attacks for ARC will play out in terms of accuracy. damage, etc. Like, will there fists get a separate DPS equation? -

Hmmmmmm hearing how it's going to be done, and seeing how it's going to be done are two seperate things.
Least I got an indirect answer lol :D -

Keep in mind it's a system based upon your weapon - I'm sure they want to wait for thief or something for daggers.
I'm OK without Archer having an auto attack besides fists... what are you doing that close if you're an Archer?
I'm curious to see how this affects multi-shot, because that's the ability that makes archers awesome. I'm 49 atm, and my love for archer went way up once I got it.
