Keep my finger on the 1 button and just glance over from time to time to see if anyone needs a heal. Your argument is now invalid. To those that are saying it's a step backwards, have you actually played this game? I'm pretty sure button spamming was from the early 80's. Argument = invalid.

Uh i see from your levels, you are mostly a mage, your battle classes are sub 20, you either just got, or havent got the 3rd and 4rth basic attacks. Why would a mage be spamming phantom dart, shouldnt you be curing, sleeping, debuffing to make weak to and nuking? If you get by pressing 1 its a failure of the sp system, rewarding you for fighting crappy monsters, not the way the game is best played.
Ill tell you that the best way to play pug is basically not to spam, if you spam, you will miss the oppurtunity to land 2 skills on sucessful evade. if you are not tanking, you get enough tp in one attack to do a 500tp weapon skill, and in 2 to 3 button presses to do a 1000 tp skill. if you are just pressing 1 you are playing like someone who doesnt know how to play very well.
If you can play just spamming 1 button either your party is covering for your scrubbiness, or you are fighting mobs that are too easy, you are definetly not maximizing your potential within the party.
