More action oriented combat{again}

[Hyrist]

Is there anything to do while Auto Attack is going along and you are waiting for TP to build before you can use a Weaponskill?

I'm not into action or shooting games at all, but Archer is the only non-mage class I enjoy because I don't have to sit idle while waiting for TP to build.

Auto Attack kind of made the melee classes boring for me. But maybe it's because I use a controller, not a keyboard...

IMO, if you're sitting idle waiting for TP to build, you're doing it wrong. Especially on Dragoon.

Combos keep TP costs low, and Invigorate is not a Lancer Specific ability. While Auto-attacking you should be lining up your buffs, keeping your positioning properly organized.

On jobs that cannot use Invigorate - you have many sub abilities to utilize from other jobs particularly outmaneuver for MAW/WAR and GLA/PLD who are both tanks.

Really there should be no reason why you're just sitting idle in combat waiting for TP to gain, unless you upped and missed a whole bunch and burned your cool-downs. Plenty of skills and abilities to keep cycling.

- On a side-note: I'm brainstorming for a good name for my campaign to strike a medium of reason between Casual and Hardcore.

I'm already outlining together my thoughts on specific issues and ideas how to solve them. Even working on a section detailing why appealing to just one base or another is bad.
