Final Fantasy XIV Auto-Attack Video

[Physic]

I love this, now the actions are instant, instead of waiting for 5-10 seconds for provoke to activate, or getting stuck on invigorate. With auto attack, people can focus on other actions rather than focusing on pressing attack. That last part with the pug stun move then moving behind to sneak attack reminded me of thief, totally not possible with the stamina bar. That's how we used to kill NMs as thief, sleep bolt then move behind, sneak attack+weapon skill.

actually it was possible before, I ve done it, the major difference is that normally you can only do it if the monster is doing a WS, because otherwise it turns to face you. in this video the goblin was behaving pretty curiously, im thinking he was just a test dummy. his Auto attacks were some times fast sometimes slow, he was slow react to player movement in the lnc video, and apparently in the pug video.

From what you said it looks like you werent managing stamina well, doesnt matter though, it will be gone soon.

If you had to do all kinds of razamataz tricks to pull of a move the system was in need of improvement this is a big step ahead of the current battle system.
Now with weapon delay it adds another level of strategy when it comes to what weapons you use more power with higher single hit dmg/tp build or more speed with lower delay.
Hope they add items so you dont see every pug lnc arch ect using the same crap as each other for say lvl 30 40 ect just because there is no reasonable alternative.
I guess when you can slot weapons/armor with the materia system its gonna be nice.

its not razamatza tricks its likely either the monster AI became a lot more stupid, or the goblin was just a test dummy for showcasing AA. his stun wore off, but he just stood there and waited to be hit. when the lancer moves to the side it stayed looking forward.

essentially dont expect to do that in the actual game, or expect mobs to be really slow on facing the target who has hate.
