Yes, auto attack does generate your mana but some skills that are quick allow you to quickly chain into other LONG prepare time attacks a lot faster.

Watch the slayer video killing a BAM.

there is cool downs
takes forever

what i am talking about is how tera is not as responsive in combat. i lose 1/2 to a second of focus on screen waiting for that space command to pop up so i can press it right away

I haven't played the NA version yet, but I did play the JP version thru 30 so I may not understand the system completely and what it does (the combo system), but on my archer I rarely even used the space bar to combo stuff. One reason was that there was a bit of delay for the space bar to pop up, and the other was the attack that popped up was not always the best choice at the current situation. I usually just used whatever attack I thought was right when I needed to. Grief has said that the combo makes attacks charge faster or something but I don't know for sure because I haven't looked into the system that much. But if it is giving you problems having to wait for the space bar command to pop up, then you could always just use the next attack you want and ignore the combo system unless there is some significant bonus for using the combos it tells you to do with the space bar. If not you can pull off the same "combos" without using the space bar. It was just on my archer, some attacks would combo into me putting down a bomb when there was no reason for me to put down a bomb, so I didn't do it. I just did my own thing and used what I wanted when I felt it was right.

Wow..... I'm really questioning your experience.

1. not using a skill because it has a 5-10 second cool down is...... really lolable

2. takes forever? What level did you get to, because my slayer was quite quick with knockdown blow and whirlwind, sure it isn't as fast as a auto attack but come on. Knockdown blow does 400-800 at level 8 where an auto attack does 50-60, and whirl wind does 200-400 per swipe when an auto attack does 50-60............... really I am just face palming right now.

It is like me complaining that my UNGLYPHED fireblast has a 10 second cool down with a charge up time of 4 seconds but it does 30-40 TIMES that's right MULTIPLICATIVE of my auto attack, AND IT IS AN AOE. Which every attack of a slayer basically is.

You are knocking a system of combat you are not actually using......


At adynos, some chains ramp up the cast time of the following ability, my sorc however does not have anything that does that yet because sorcs from level 1 are a nuke class and adding early ramp ups would make them op as all hell. Also a lot of my chains on my sorc are basically a suggestion. After retaliate I can use arcane ball, but it still has the same charge time, kind of useless if you know what retaliate is used for. I have a chain that when I use my aoe sleep I can use my fireblast, only reason it is a chain is because the targets I am aiming for are now stationary thus making fireblast much better as the targets need to be within or just outside the orange circle to work.

I have heard from several sources that you can change what is coming next in the combo.
And using the combo makes the charge up time shorter.

I think you guys should just ignore this dude.
Bad players will be bad. Nothing you can do.
