FFXIV moved away from auto-attack while WOW went without... how odd.

Well WOW might just be testing the waters for a non-auto attack system. If it works well they might introduce the system for all classes but if they fail at it like FFXIV did, then the Monk class might eventually go back to auto-attack too.

WoW already largely does not use auto-attack. The only people using it are melee who have all of their abilities on cooldown. 95% of the time you are using skills (even as melee), which is much faster paced than XIV was even before auto-attack. The other 5% is when your character auto-attacks eventually while you're waiting for the 1 second global cooldown on your next ability.

I like AA actually, I wouldnt want to spam 1 key all over again. AA just need some adjustements.
But it is much better than it was before 1.18 in general.

This is not Wow.



However a lot of people were so frustrated, complained and whined about that FFXIV sucks because it hasn't got an auto-attack. If they would remove AA, this would start all over.

I hope so. I hate auto attack, so only DPS class I have that I enjoy playing is ARC... which is pretty much useless to have now since no one will take them in parties =/

Or at the very least the addition of basic attacks like ARC has for all classes..
Maybe something where people 2 or 3 basic attacks instead of 1 though.

I still think the battle improvements should have been done Prior to adding it, and then I doubt people would have wanted it adding so much anyway.
I still really wish it was never added in the 1st place personally.

I just think something between what we had an what we have would be better.
But meh..
