What do you look for in a combat system?

Yeah, I agree that the current system is not the best implementation, i just pray that Yoshi does not implement auto-attack.

Sorry dude, but it's coming.

That post is filled with so much fail its sad. Its not even the auto attack that gets me, but rather for whatever changes they are planning they can think of no other way to make it work than with auto attack. I cant think of any of the major issues with battle that are effected by auto attack, or lack there off
They are talking about class uniqueness, and stats and using auto attack to solve that?

the main issues with battle are due to a lack of interactivity, lack of needing to use skills, lack of movement,
and lack of any sort of visual uniqueness for 90% of your attacks. lack of combos
auto attack solves and helps none of these issues, while theoretically it may not hurt some, the fact that auto attack is integral to all his plans suggests that whatever he is trying to solve is not what most people think is the problem with battle.
