[dev1022] Auto-attack system questions and discussion

[Alcide]

Seriousely, I really can't seem to understand how can someone think the battle system is spammy, i NEVER spam auto attack.

If you feel the game is spammy just learn how to play your class, don't blame the devs.

I leveled from 1 to 25, as a conjurer, mainly doing Behests and leves. I did not found any solo-target skill with a better dps than my standard attack. I tried to use spells, but unless they hit at lest 3 targets, I found it wasn't worth it.

Basically all what I did was spamming 1 (with a macro) and a heal here and there.

I am ok with this gameplay during the first 30 minutes of the game. But after that, I expect at least a more interesting skill rotation. And I certainly don't count the unnecessary buff recast as a rotation.

I'm not blamming the devs for the system. Maybe there is a more efficient rotation than spamming 1, but after hours of play I wasn't able to find it.

And this, from my point of view, is exactly the same : after hours of gameplay, I can only spam 1, and this is certainly not interesting.

So if there is actually something better to do than spamming the basic attack, devs should make this clearer to the player. And I'm speaking of in-game information, not obscure hints maybe written on a page of the lodestone.

As explained earlier, 'bigger numbers' or 'different (and visible!) effects' for abilities could be a nice solution.
