Combat Help

I am trying to figure out if there is a way to adjust the time it takes to go from one skill to the next. The combat system is interesting, but very "jerky". For example, you attack one mob, the animation plays and you go into recovery. At the same time you target a new mob, click for attack and have to wait... oh 2 or 3 seconds for the attack to begin.

Is this a lag, latency, or animation problem? If it's a connection problem, well, perhaps there is some more tweaking I can do. If it's an animation issue, will modding the animation help? If it's a server side issue, then I guess I will have to find a new game.

I confess the problem is the system seems to be set up for combo's and, at the same time, set against combo's.

I see what you are saying. The combat system for mabinogi is quite unique and isn't like alot hack n slash mmo's you see out there, therefore the melee aspect; it's not really
[B]mean't[B] to be a continuous attack rush kind of thing.

You might notice that after a melee attack combo and the enemy is knocked back/down you can't attack with a normal attack right away, but you CAN use other skills such as a bolt spell right after attacking(or even during a combo).

As a result of this, I doub't that this is an animation issue, lag, or even latency. Not being able to attack another mob right after a combo is done is probably built into the game and intended to be there, and no doub't has a server check due do the great number of modders playing mabinogi. (as with most combat aspects of many games)

I'm afraid there isn't a way as far as modding to get around this issue. But i would advise that you get final hit, that skill will allow you to attack multiple mobs during a combo.

Latency and lag issues, as most skills enable you to attack immediately after the animation finishes. As you said, it takes 2-3 seconds for the attack to begin, so it is most likely either or both a lag and latency issue. I recommend denagling your connection first and trying again to see if you still encounter delay between attacks. Also, if you're playing from a country far away somehow, then that could be your issue, too.
