You don't need to know how to play well

[Abriael]

I started the thread because a combat overhaul isn't going to do anything about leve/behest.

And you know that how?

We have a tonne of abilities we don't use right now. If they change the nature of those but leves and behest don't change then we're not going to see a meaningful difference in play style.

While I would welcome an higher level of challenge (but in ALL mmorpgs truly challenging content always comes down the lines, when the combat system is solidified), there IS quite a big difference in efficency between people that use most of their skills with a good degree of ability, and those that spam 1 1 1 1 1.
This not to mention that I'd very much like to see a group doing raptors where the tank doesn't use at least some of his tanking abilities. The casters are gonna be dead every 2 minutes.
Killing more efficently -> Sizable advantage. It's quite simple.
