Combat Impressions from the RU CBT2

Ikifales

I am still trying to get used to the combat, it fun though. It's a matter of being good at combos...even though some of them are also available on the hot-bar which is nice. It is definitely a unique system for an MMO that has a lot of potential, it is fast paced and feels like an action game rather than an RPG. The combat while fun desperately needs active dodge to make it feel complete... I am constantly wanting to double tap the WASD keys to dodge/roll... This combat style is meant for it, it needs to be implemented.

Dm's assessment is spot on. Feels kinda like eso's combat at launch.

Yeah that's true and I just found out that other classes than the one I am  currently playing (giant) do have dodge..multiple versions of it. I definitely have not made any kind of final verdict..not even close to that yet.

I do like street fighter esque move system. It's more engaging than simple button mashing. However, you can get the job done button mashing too.

I hope it doesn't have long skill timers.  Don't like spending time waiting for skills to become available again, watching all the timers instead of the fight.

It's really fun. I really like the Block on the Warrior. It really blocks! No more RNG telling me what I can and can't block. Power to the players!

The depth of the game it self is really amazing - It's like the Witcher meets MMOG.

Most classes actually have active i-frame dodging - it is generally a skill that is bound to shift + direction.
