Special attack schemesAt

The auto attack function is useful but it can lead to people, particularly noncasters, sitting and waiting to win their fight with no interaction.

How about a new skill which as you level it allows you to use special attacks in combat. Something like:

Arterial Strike. Requires 10 Special Attack skill, and can be learned from a trainer in town. Ability cost: 10 energy. Action: Your next attack causes the target to bleed dealing an extra 5 amage over 10 seconds.

The skill could add an extra button on the combat screen to use the special attack and have an associated recharge time.

This would mean that even pure melee characters (a) had some use for energy/mana and (b) have more interaction with the game during combat.

Hmm.. Not sure where the At came from at the end of the title. Sorry about that.

Seems like an okay idea - although there are many other suggestions/ideas that need to be added to the game first.

It's nice that I can hit autoattack and leave the computer for a few minutes to do dishes/vacuum/tidy up and come back to start another fight and click autoattack. Makes for a productive day both at home, and in-game, haha.

soooooo man ypeople have thoguht of this including me so i wouldnt expect this to be put into action anytime soon

i believe there is a thread called " post your class skills here" or soemthing as well

I wasn't trying to suggest class skills so much as skills to make combat a little more interactive. The suggested class skills I think are all more passive, similar to the current skills in the game.

Although I agree with zom that auto attacking and walking away is helpful, the idea of incorporating something else for people to use, especially melee would help up the game a little especially in the realm of pvp where you sometimes need that decisive last strike to finish someone off. But ye I think this sort of thing has been suggested before, but hey best way to get something is to keep asking usualy
