Auto attack: A complete battle system

[pool842]

You're forgetting this part

"EDIT: oh and talking about guildleves, right now I'm ranking up archer, usually my pattern is hit multishot x2, hawk's eye, raging strike, normal attack x1, ferocity, weapon skill. Usually the mob is dead at this point, is it spammy? do you think i'm not doing my job? "

This is about archer, but my main is lancer and i playid a bit of thaumaturge too, i've never spammed anything with any of these classes unless, i've always had a good time while grinding/doing leves and i've socialized with many people.

The point is this battle system allows you to get to r50 spamming normal attacks, but it's just your choice and if you do it you're not giving your best and definitely you're not playing your class as it's supposed to be.
You can't blame the devs if you decide to play in the most boring way.

so everyone on this post do me a favor equip a bow and spam attack keeping in mind the actual time it takes for each arrow to shoot and hit he enemy... now start a stop watch and use raging strike then eagle eye then pucture 2 or barrage..... the time is 90% the same dps wise so spamming attack just about does the same as waiting for 2 buffs and a special to go off. SOOOOO there FOR THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS SPAMMYYY. god.... reading these forums with no evidence behind what anybody says is just ridiculas....

You haven't played ARC. Who the heck would want to Raging Strike and Hawk's Eye on Puncture 2? Multishot/Trifurcate + RS + HE = 6 times the damage of a normal shot, or 9 times if they all crit. This goes to show how ridiculous your post is.
