Reactive Combat

[Kiote]

the main problem here is your looking at th game now. after 1.20 you might not miss them at all, true you might. but to look at the way combat works now and see the list of what's to come, and base your fears on what will be an old system is wrong. (i wonder if ppl were scared to lose the oil lamps, when they got their electric lights fitted?)

People didn't have all their oil lamps taken away the day they got a light bulb..

These's skills offer a depth to combat that cannot be gained from any other type of skill. They literally require the player to watch and react to their enemy. No other skills in the game require that and losing these ones is a significant hit to active combat.
