[dev1022], [dev1032] How will Auto-Attack effect Guard Ability?

[kukurumei]

I think it'd be interesting if they made it so GLA's auto-attack is an "attack stance" where he attacks frequently while Guard is a "turtle mode" type of stance where shield is always up and the frequency of auto-attack is drastically reduced. That way, GLA will have to choose between defensive and offensive. They could also make it so certain abilities can only be used in one mode or the other, like say shield bash can only be used while in Guard mode where something like circle slash can only be used in Attack-mode.

We already have skills like that... namely defender (or clones) Again it becomes more trouble then it's worth at this point to complete revise the whole setup.

Much easier to choose 1-3. I personally like 2, but there are a lot of basic ways to treat the skill.
