I am confused..Auto attack?

[Kryptic]

Why did they put this in again? The majority of the community really wanted this? I am curious not trying to spur anything I am really asking because I am confused. I thought the fighting was awesome and it made it a faster pace now it's just slow. (I Played FFXI for 5 years)

Obviously they can't adjust the delays of the weapons, so we must throw all aspects of auto-attack out.

still faster than waiting on stamina. Just get some TP and fire off those skills! and usually there is a skill or two now that has no TP usage to use in between auto attack and those TPs. Besides, its just the beginning of everything. We shall see more improvements to the system as time goes on.

Not only that, when I heard 'auto-attack' I thought they'd just set spirit dart or light thrust to spam itself, not to toss the entirty of the stamina system out of the window. Hate to say it but the pace of battle right now is really awkward, and that's if you're able to get auto-attack to even work for you.

Yeah the gain of TP is fine i don't mind that..It's just the pace of battle feels like it got halved or more. It is nice for tanks now though they don't have to worry about meleeing and hitting one they can just heal and worry about enmity and control. But besides that I still ask why.

I really didn't want auto-attack, but I'm just glad it's faster than FFXI.

because the teens wanted a way to sit and chit chat on a dating site while their legit farm bot did the work for them to kill a mob.

When's the last time you played XI?

I highly doubt you are attacking this fast:

I bet even the whm here is attacking faster than the fastest DD in XIV.

Stamina was a horrible system. It resulted in too much micro management and prevented effective party communication. Good riddance. The battle system feels so much more fluid now and my index finger isn't cramping up from extreme button press repetition.

That's such a bad example to put up against ffxiv..
Your trying to say a level 75 WHM with kclub is equal to anything in FFXIV at the current stage. On top of that, that video looks sped up. Take a level 1 warrior with a sword, vs. a GLA. and tell me who is faster.
