Oh yea, I forgot that you don't need to have a target for a lot of skills. That actually does make the combat feel a tiny bit less generic. Those skills use a cone or PBAoE damage arch. Unlike AoC the AoE damage is built into the skills as there are no AoC-style combos. "There is as yet insufficient data for a meaningful answer."

It has elements from GW - limited skill selection, tab targeting Elements from Aoc - cone attacks, auto target nearest in front if not tab targeting, manually dodging Elements from war - firing on the move even attacks with cast time (header, shadowbane warr) only its ALL abilities & dual targeting Elements from coh - states system although tsw pushes this much further

Sorry but you are wrong. It is a lot like DCU combat and bears little resemblance to AOC. You must not lose faith in humanity.

Unlike AoC the AoE damage is built into the skills as there are no AoC-style combos. Don't really know what you mean by that. The skills have synergies with eachother. I.e. a rifle might apply a bleeding effect which will trigger another rifle skill, then you switch to blood-magic to synergize with the bleeding-effect and apply a snare that relies on bleeds, etc.
