OK, my wife and I have rolled through 17 levels on Demonologist and Dark Templar. All the quest NPC's make you run through dialog so there is no click click quest accepted. Its more like click click click click click quest accepted. You also have a separate bag section for quest items. There is also one for resources which I assume is for gathering crafting mats. Have not gotten that far yet.
My wife is playing the Demonologist and so far spells are fairly simple. She does have a demon but unlike WoW the demon holds 0 aggro. Mobs know the demon is yours so its your butt they come after. She does have an electrical spell that roots the mobs. That has worked out very nice. Spell casting is awesome looking so far.
I have been digging this Dark Templar. Right now it seems the class is best suited for pulling multiple mobs instead of single pulls. I can hit a combo that leeches a percentage of health back to me from the damage I do. After that I can start sweeping attacks with my different combo's. Also I have a self buff that has a chance to inflict damage to anyone attacking me. That damage does also help my health leeching.
From what I have seen from the melee classes they all use the same basic combo system. So to use Sweep 1 you have to click Sweep then Upper Right attack. So far from my experience they are just press ability the attack modifier. I am sure more advanced combos are to come were you could have any number of abilities and modifiers to click. Also adjusting your attacks or what abilities you are going to use because of the mobs shield abilities is cool. You can actually tell were a mob is more vulnerable or heavily defended. That defiantly keeps you out of the mindset of clicking 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on to just go through your skills.
Casters will have combos to deal with as well from what I have read. There is a really cool video Funcom released called Spell Weaving. It is a pre-fight buff that will probably only be used for boss fights or raid situations. It was a 4 minute cast (Give or Take) were the caster was having to click several different buttons to keep the spell going. I will have to find the video later since our web filters block everything. But they made a statement that if the caster messes up he may die and have to start the spell over.
Here is something I found useful and cool. The Trader, an NPC who is the Bank, AH, and Mailbox all in one. That's right, no more running back and forth. You place your items in Store, right click if you want to sell, select the search tab to browse the auctions or run over to the Post tab to mail items around.
Well that's really all I have right now. As we all new graphics are a far stretch better then WoW. The combat system is allot more fun. And I am only level 17 so really, how much do you want from me?
