Question about Combat

I have a question about how the combat system worked and I couldnt find anything about it. I heard how its very "wow-style" from some people but itd be nice to have some specifics. Is it going to be like wow with auto-attack or like aoc with the slightly more engaging but still button spamming technique?

It probably has an auto attack but each class has a "mechanic" which seperates them from the pack
auto attacking in WAR = Dead player
Expect to be Twisting abilities & spamming...just on some toons you have to be careful about spamming...becase you can blow yourself up on accident.
True is this
You can auto attack but you ll be dead if thats all you do. There are alot of factors involved.
trying to run through / bunny hop = dead too....(this doesn't count legitment circle strafing tho it can equal dead if your quarry has his friends with him lol).
I heard somewhere that they made it so you cant bunny hop at all, it does something to your powers or cooldowns.. so i guess in combat when you jumping around you wont be able to kill people..
There's also collision detection so you can't run through people.

A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"
Order of the White Border.
The only reason to jump in RvR is to climb up rocky areas to hide yourself or leap off a Wall / Cliff to avoid giving the otherside a point lol
Yeah this is can play a big part creating choke points on bridges, door ways, etc, so your tanks can make like a shield wall in front of the ranged attackers adding more strategy to the battles. AoC had this I think, but the rest of the game failed, WAR has it, and it works like it should.
Think wow with collision detection and slower combat.
I'm seriously stoked to try this game! After burning out on WoW and being burnt by Funcom this, I hope, will be great. Another thing I am longing for is a good community/server/guild to interact and play with. WoW became a bunch of stuck ups and AoC...well I haven't figured out wtf they are yet....at least on Deathwhisper.

From what I seen from recent combat in vids, it looks just as fast as WoW, but I think people have more life per damage, so slower in terms as you might not die as fast as in WoW. Of course I'm just judging by the vids I seen.
