First of all... running around with sharp/pointy thing is dangerous!

I don't mind stopping to change from active/passive mode.

However, I do mind that every single action that you perform has to change into passive mode.

It might be simpler if SE made it so that any hostile action against mob would put you into active mode.

As well as add opening skills that doesn't have delay from going passive to active against mob.

Like... Jump kick for Pugs! or Iai for Gladiator XD
