ArenaNet:Guild Wars 2 suggestions/Hack and Slash

Hack and Slash (Discussion)
Implement a system that allows players to click-to-strike and gain better control of how their weapon and offhand is wielded in combat.


 * Why this is a good idea
 * Adds a certain dynamic in combat, causing players to fight tactically instead of press-and-forget.
 * People are bored with auto-attacking and want something new
 * Can work for all classes


 * Why it may not work out
 * Can get to the point where the victor is the one lucky enough to strike at the right time
 * Guild wars has latency issues, and with the frequency of attacks made this way can make play confusing, and balanced fighting difficult, notably in PvP.
 * Some users will play with a chaotic style by randomly pressing all relevant keys in the attempt to defeat the enemy, diminishing the aspect of higher skill involved.
 * Button mashing can be boring too.
 * Would allow keyboard macros to be abused for an unfair advantage.
