No skill based combat?

[DeHeinrich]

Hi this is an Issue I have with most mmorpgs. Click target. Auto Attack. Occasionally press 1, 2 or even if you dare 3. Go to the next target.
How do you feel about the combat in this game? It felt braindead to me but it looked very pretty.

[Kyutaru]

You're going for jester points I see. The combat is quite skill-based, just not pertaining to accuracy. The skill revolves around managing cooldowns, target priorities, active blocking, and positioning to avoid death. RPGs are very math-centric and you would seem braindead if you aren't familiar with how the formulas work. Buffs/debuffs grant momentary advantage swings that intelligent players capitalize on, but again it requires intelligence to play, not dexterity. Chess is turn-based and I dare you to say it's not skill-based.

Its like in many mmos.
Armor before skill.
If you have much better armor/weapons......

This combat system is an tabtargetting.
Yes, i can activate action but its a fake because you aim a target and he marks it like with tab targetting.

The combat system is nothing special, easy to handle.

This is the exact same thing some people say about the combat in wow when in reality its just a boring auto attack and "hit number key"

That's how it plays, not a measure of the skill required to do so. Again, chess is just moving pieces around a board one at a time but if you think it's not skill-based, feel free to dominate a chess tournament with your high speed reflexes and aiming skill. Congrats, you earned it.

BRAINDEAD GAME

it´s pretty boring, but there are no better mmo´s right now. People keep arguing that tab targeting is more thoughtful and action combat is more button smashing. but those people seem to have never played blade and soul. you can have both thoughtful and skillbased combat. the only thing you have to do in throne is to press your skills in the correct order. nothing more.(and even that only to a certain extent) as a wand user I have to get 3 stacks on the boss and exlpode them. all the other skills can be used pretty much whenever I want. no animation cancelling no aiming. just pressing the button when they are off cd. most boss mechanics are recycled from blade and soul and dumbed down a bit. you cant even dodge some skill shots like the poison or fire aoe. you have to take a bit of dmg and then walk out instead of having a proper dodge skill.
the combat is pretty decent for being tab target, but it´s far from being good or skillbased.

[Wipkonijntje]

these r the standard controlls for a MMO.

if u don't like it u should play a hack & slash game instead of a mmo.

blade & soul probly has the controlls u want but i doupt its still very active.

The rotations in this game are literally 12 skills x 20/23 steps to cycle a full proper rotation. And this applies almost to every weapon combination, except couple that has only 9 skills and about 15 steps rotation; what are you talking about? Of course you can press only 3-4 skills, if you are a bad player and / or wanna be a dead weight for your party

[Hosenbund]

which other mmorpg are you referring to?

WoW and FF14 both have quite a bit of complexity, at least once you reach endgame and you want to do hard content.

but throne and liberty has almost zero in its current state, that is true.
TL also has one of the worst tab target combat systems i saw since a long time.
quite the achievement to be worse than 10-20 year old games

As you stated, this game is all looks, no substance, thats also why it will die pretty fast, no need to bother with it, the early hype train riders will disagree heavily, but they will also almost all be gone in 3 months from now, its always like that on new releases.

lost ark and even new world will look like they were thriving for pretty long in comparison to this.

Yeah, it's a generic trash P2W product. The only skill required is when you uninstall.
