[dev1032] Why do we need STAMINA?

[Heartfire]

I love hitting the same key over and over again. Please, SE, don't take that simple joy away from me....

But really. Auto-attack for basic attacks, and make TP / Weaponskills / Skillchains worth a damn. You had a pretty sweet system before. Why fix what isn't broken?

[Nephera]

Never killed an NM huh?
Also... Never done a leve?

people get pretty mad when you AOE in a leve and hit something that isnt red.

PPl hated the ffxi combat system it was slow and boring. All you had to do was click attack amd just sit back and watch. PPl would go afk mid fight or watch tv, hell i met a girl who was in the middle of "being wuth someone" while partying.....
The old system was broke, just mind numbing. I have ADD and I ended up looking up ffxiv while I partied :/ I just left the sound on so I know when fights started.

go play some real games. instead of mind numbing ones with auto attack. that or you just think about what you are doing too much.

You press the same button in every mario game. >.> yet its still ultra popular

complaint thread. SE don't need them. try to think constructivly.
And auto attack is for pansies.

First time poster (most likely last post too)

This right here is the reason why this game will never become good.

Auto attack is for pansies? That's why every successful MMO has had it right? Sup Age of Conan? Oh wait, it failed. NO one would prefer spamming 1 1 1 1 1. I know what you are thinking "HURRRRRRR YOU SPAM GET SOME SKILLZ". [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] Anyone who talks about skills in an MMO needs a reality check.

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] FFXI combat was phenomenal.

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]

Auto attack fails because of stamina limitation. The whole point of TP in this game is to prevent spamming of abilities, so there is no need for stamina to further make combat worse.

When I played as a gladiator it was pretty much spam auto attack and then have no stamina to to do anything else, so I'd just stand there getting hit. This battle system look "slow" to a whole new level.

Better yet, SE should just bring back FFXI battlesystem. I'd love to go back to using different builds for TPing and WSing.

Anyway like I said most likely my last reply.

Because Stamina adds a whole other layer of gameplay and strategy to the battle system.

We need stamina to try teach people how to use dev tags properly. Your message isnt being seen.

Stamina is the difference between smart players and stupid players. Smart players will use stamina with a bit of thought and use normal attacks sparingly. Stamina management is part of the battle tactics involved in the game. There's no need to dumb down the battle system more.

I have to laugh at the person saying they play Gladiator and spam basic attacks. Bad glad is bad. Any tank worth anything knows you should keep a reserve of at least half a stamina bar for emergency taunts. Seriously, burning your stamina bar at the start of a long battle is what bad players do.

I'm concerned how auto-attack is going to be implemented with casting classes in reguards to hate management, considering our weapons are ranged. Auto-attacking as a mage you're going to be building hate uncontrollably or wasting time if you have to keep re-targeting mobs to throw debuffs and nukes.

Hmmm good call, I would think they would let you heal out of combat stance though, but that would be to game breaking since they couldn't grief you any more with a clumpy combat system. But I have to admite it is the only argument other then auto attack is easy mode that I have seen. But personally I would get ride of combat stance all together, never saw the advantage to it other than griefing your players. (yes I know you slow down and all that jazz, but there is no reason to it, you can still run away form mobs, it just wastes time IMO)

Yeah, I can't stand just being a heal bot for a party. Have all these other lovely spells, but I'm not allowed to use them because I'm expected to save others from their own stupidity.
