Are the Black Desert Online combat controls similar/same as Skyforge?

Skyforge combat is much more simplified than BDO.  It is a comparison of a hybrid target system and an action combat system.  The simpler combat system in Skyforge allowed people to easily change classes on the fly.  BDO has more of a learning curve and the difference in classes is more vast.

if you have ever played Vanguard then BDO is very similar. ESO is also very comparable as far as the free aiming aspect of combat, however BDO has combos executed by combination of buttons/directions, as opposed to ESO where you just press the hotkey buttons.
BDO combat is very fast paced with rapid dodges and blinks. hope that gives you an idea.

Guys he is talking about how in skyforge you need to click the mouse button all the time rapidly.

click click click click. It drove me crazy too.

I dont want to ruin my expensive gaming mouse for piece of shit game. Hell, even Diablo and ARPGs dont have so many clicks.


Is BDO combat similar ?

It's an action game obviously you will click a lot to attack.

Or use a controller.

You can use the hot bar, and it's not "rapid".

I haven't played skyforge, I did play DCUO, and BDO is a lot less mouse clicking that that game.  You can't just spam the mouse in BDO, your combos don't work that way.  Animation cancelling is an intended combo tactic, so you have to time your presses, and you can't do that spamming the mouse clicks. 

And again, you get a hotbar.  You can slot up to 10 skills if you want and you can play it like a traditional MMO.

Not really click click click click.

It's more like D+LMB> S+RMB> D+RMB> S+E>Shift+E 
With pauses between commands, and the ability to break some animations to string combos. 

It is surprisingly unspammy as you would think for an action combat system.  Very easy to learn, with a lot of depth to master. 

Edit:  It's very controlled clicks, not spam clicks. 
Tough to describe if you haven't played it.  I've not played another game like it.  DCUO is the closest I've experienced, and BDO is WAY better.
