Hack n' slash or a mouse pointer?

[BladeDance]

I'm thinking about buying this game, but I don't know, because I hate MMORPG's that uses the damn mouse pointer, it takes out all the fun... to just click and watch... but this game looks like a Hack n' slash game, so is it? or it's just another crappy click&watch game?

I advise visiting a similar post...but to answer:

Its hybrid combat/cooldown power use... I call it Tekken/Wow

It can be either. It depends on what kind of character you make. My character is half mouse pointer/ half hack in slash.

DCUO actually doesn't have a mouse cursor on the main screen; you target enemies using the tab key. Combat is definitely not click and watch. The left mouse button is your main melee attack, and the RMB is your main ranged attack. Those don't take any energy to use. Then you have powers assigned to number keys. Those drain your energy, but tend to be more powerful. Finally, you have combos. For example, with my martial arts character (The Grey Knight), if I tap the LMB twice and then hold the LMB, he'll do a powerful knee kick to the head. Of course, if you use a gamepad, then you'll use its buttons to do the same thing.
