Auto-attack

[Betelgeuzah]

That's not where I got it from. I got it from here:

Explain to me what do we do between using skills, instead of "spamming" the basic attacks?

What do you suddenly replace it with when you add auto-attack that couldn't be done before?

mmm... chat with the party, advise PT to set up a BR. navigate more easily to my next desired TP ability, Take a drink of water, eat a cookie. Respond to the tell I got mid battle, mid battle. Blow my nose. Feel less stressed during battle to always make sure I'm using my stamina to 100% effectiveness. because sitting on a full bar = losing DPS.

Should I go on?

Anyone of of those above listed activities could constitute lost DPS while in battle because you're doing something else than pressing a button to keep your DPS up.
That becomes tedious, quickly.
We are playing a MMO and because of the need to press a button for every action taken we lose out on a huge portion of a MMO: Communication.by not being able to take a moment w/o losing TP or DPS or both.
