Melee: Out of Mana don't attack at all instead of normal

This is really annoying with this broken mana system once you run out of mana instead of blocking the attack melee characters switch to normal attack which results in stupid situations.

Yea I REALLY hate my mara randomly running into packs of mobs while I'm trying to ground slam them.
Need an option to disable it.... or disable it automatically for aoe skills while leaving it working for single targets.

Watching your mana pool works too. Seriously, this sounds like the complaint of someone who doesn't want to put any effort into playing the game.

If you press shift while attacking you won't move, even if out of mana. Problem solved

I said broken system meaning you got like 3-4 attacks depending on class with rounding errors.

This isn't how you fight during races.
You are 4-5 levels underleveled and your EQ is mainly almost not there so you take big damage when you get hit.
It's not a big deal on a ranger but melees run into big packs and take heavy hits.
This is like the third time I died because I did a normal attack in big mobs instead of an AoE attack.
Of course it happens many times but usually I can get away.

Kind of impossible when your mana pool empties in about 2 seconds, and fills just as fast, constantly popping up and down... even if I just stared at it there'd be no way to react in time if it suddenly dropped below 100 and I was unable to cast gs.

Sounds like a horrible work around... but maybe I can bind both shift and ground slam to the same key to achieve the desired effect... hrmmm.

I would rather continue attacking (Normal attacks). I however would love it if I didn't move from my position if the enemy I'm attacking, dies. I prefer having to release and re-click to move.

Bind ground slam to one of the keyboard keys, instead of the mouse..

But really, this doesn't seem to be a valid issue in my eyes.

ive been playing as a melee since the beginning and it too bothers me alot

(never died or something, but it does really bother.

just the diablos "i dont have mana" and stand still would be very much more apreciated)

As others have said, use shift to attack in place. If you can't manage your mana, you might consider looking into ways to do that before you call it a broken system. Learn how many times you can use your skill before running out and how to get the most out of your flasks, and you won't run into situations in which you fail to know how much mana you have.
