Thread: 1.18 patch Attack Speed Slower?

wrong. if the mob dies faster you feel as though the combat is faster. i don't care if my guy starts dancing for motions. if he's not hitting a mob doing damage then it's slower.

i'm sorry when i am not playing rpg/mmo i do alot of fps gaming. why does a fps require you to actually shoot yourself instead of doing it for you when you scroll over your enemy? because it's more fun. you can't tell me if a fps can get the games to react in miliseconds than it should take seconds to respond in a mmo. yes, pressing 1 is boring at times, but it will be just as boring to let the game do it for you. if the games do not have you feeling engaged in battle by removing part of the little you had to do in battle you feel less so.

edit:

And no it doesn't take a fraction of a second, or should it. BR is a dog pile which should have never been implemented, but we have it doesn't mean it's a "tactical" depth we've come to expect in any modern MMO.

1. voice chat is vastly superior to text for communication.
2. if you think calling a macro that says in party chat "Battle Regimen Debuff Upcoming" takes longer than a fraction of a second you are delusional.
