Auto attack: A complete battle system

[Linnear]

I dislike the spam vs non spam arguement, hitting 1111111 or 1511251 is basically the same thing from keyboard perspective. for arguements sake lets just assume that hitting 4 different buttons provides more tactics and is more fun than hitting the same one 4 times and it is also more usefull.

What sucks about it is that for game pad users is uncomfotable and annyoing. They increased the pace of entering combat commands, but the problem with that is for gamepad play they might have went overboard. Yes maccros and such can help reduce the command load but game pads still suffer from the current system. Like is said before hitting 1111 or 1451 makes a BIG difference to game pad players. If you remove the need to hit 1 then it becomes ... or 45. What you will end up with actually better beasue it will ecourage PC players to hit more things then there 1,(regardless if it is a good idea or not) and lets game pad players a chance to enjoy the game instead of cursing at their controler because they want provoke instead of light slash.

Also if you want to put in uto attack you NEED a way to shut if off quickly and efficiently on controller to prevent breaking CC. Although I have seen some games where you can hit something CCed for x damage before it breaks, but the damage is not actually removed from their hp, Basically they gain a small SS when CC them so a stray auto attack will NOT breka them. Not sure how much I like it but it is n option as well. It does work well if you need to CC 1 out of 3 mobs and you have an AOE attack that hits 3 targets and little room to manouver.

Also noone has argued agains't the lose of weapon delay and gear selections you lose by taking out auto attack yet. Is there no intelligent comments on how you can reconsilliate this loss ?
