Stuff that would have made classic much cooler.

Let's first talk about 2HB...who the fuck actually attacks someone like that? It's more like 2HP (2Hand Poke). Like forreals, what were the original dev's thinking.."hey lets make them poke at mobs with two hands and call it two hand blunt". What they should have done is made some sweet ass 3 combo martial arts movement (i'm sure they could have done it bc monk intimidation is pretty 'complex' for EQ standards) like striking down, then left to right, with some kind of crazy ass spin hit. I mean even if they just changed it to striking down with two hands from right to left, it would be more aesthetically pleasing than this bullshit I have to look at. I probably know of more shit, but this has been pissing me off lately.

Are you joking? I'm not sure if serious.

I don't mind mmo's that have skill chains or combinations.

Sure beats mindless dps of auto attack / click a few buttons... oh i got hate better turn away a second.

here's a chart for the first few levels of skill chains in ffxi ( a mmo i use to play)

and each attack could be combined with another as long as people were paying attention.

All taking place at the blinding speed of a crawling snail.

maybe if you played around launch

people have gotten a lot better and faster.. not to mention people exp in groups of 18 now making it easier to keep chains going.

although ffxi is retarded now.. can get a max level character starting from 1 gearless in a matter of hours (not astral burn). use to take a grind similar to eq
