In the entire FAQ it doesn't mention being able to use the mouse, the rest of that section that I quoted a sentence from is this:
"2.8 How will you actually control your attacks? We have tried to take the best of the combat systems in past MMOs, but in addition you can control your characters combat moves in real-time. Contrary to other massive online games, you thus wont fight only by clicking a series of icons. You will have to use your keyboard or a gamepad to strike in certain directions and you have to aim your attacks manually. All in all there is a massive amount of strategic opportunities, but the initial system will be quite easy to learn the first time you enter the game."
The reason I posted the question was because I was under the impression from an interview I saw a long time ago that you could use the mouse to click different directions, but after reading this I second-guessed myself.
I'm going to go thumb through gameplay vids and see if I can't find it again, though I think if you can use the mouse, they definitely should have added that into the FAQ. Reading this gives the impression that there is no mouse usage for attacking other than when you're doing ranged attacks.

NO spamming, no way, no how
.13 Seconds into the video the guy with a 2h does THE SAME attack 3 times in a row atleast, all in rapid succession...Naw thats not spamming
.22 Seconds into the video one of the 'clones' as I call them (tan helm, 1h shortsword and shield) does THE SAME attack 3 times in a row atleast, all in rapid succession... Naw thats not spamming
.31 Seconds in another 'clone' (tan helm, 1h Longswords this time *lol*, and shield) does THE SAME attack alteast 4 times in a row all in rapid succession..Naw thats not spamming either..
Thats within the first 30 seconds of the video im sure if you go further you will see more cases of people 'Not spamming'.....
I love this game as much as anyone and have been a registered user on AOC forums since May of 05.. But saying you will not be able to spam in this game is (to quote mike tyson) is "ludicrous". wow....you can see the video so fast that you can break it into tenths of a second.....ur eyes are fast Oh golly gee your right now that me thinks about it, it migta been easier if I used liek the pause button or sumetin. Adah.... wow...your right....wait...i was wrong...thats 100ths of a second...you have a media player that can not only pause but reads and breaks down videos into 100'ths of a second...what phenomenal player is this? And if you havent figured it out yet im kind of poking fun at the .13 .22 .31 of a second thing you used. BTW these guys must be ballin to attack like 3-4 times in 3/10ths of a second.
