Good riddance to autoattack +spam the taunt hotkey combat!

Quote:
Combat is reactionary. You can react in many ways. To list a few:

Detect errors in your opponent's melee attack, and defend against it. This will allow you to counter attack.
If your defensive target is in trouble, you can choose to rescue him or intercept the attack.
Other members of your party can create openings for you to exploit. you can do the same for your allies. The attacks that are made in response to an opening will be more effective than standard attacks.
Work sympathetically with your party members to create powerful spells.
Percieve and counter incoming NPC spells. Choose your method of countering.
Create an attack chain that is made of openers (basic attacks), Bridges (more powerful attacks) and finishes (Extra powerful attacks) - Talisker
That sure sounds a lot better than the combat mechanics I slept through all those years playing a tank in EQ.

I can't wait until we get a peek at some of the ability lists!

My friends told me a story about some guy in EQ who went afk and posted on the forums while his warrior was still in game tanking a major boss.

I doubt that will be happening within Telon. 8)

I represent the advocation of Chaos Incarnate. I have chosen tanking to illustrate this in Vanguard. Any resistance will be stamped out thoroughly, who's with me?

Those who can make order out of chaos are the true leaders of men. (And Dwarves too!)

Nay, the noble act is not making order from chaos, but making chaos the New Order.

You can't program chaos though... The nature of programming denotes some order, even if it is just a dice roll.

I completely agree. Good riddance. What a boring concept it was in the past. However, were we complaining then? NO of course not! It was unheard of and ahead of its time! An attack button and a taunt button! Wow what an arsenal lol!
