I've heard that combat relies on something akin to a powerbar. Basically, you attack and then wait for the bar to recharge before you attack again. Is
this correct?
Not really, you have a energy bar. It gets drained by attacks, just like the endurance bar in CoH, but unlike that bar, (which is fixed at 100 points), the CO
one is based on your stats and level. All characters start out with one attack called an energy builder. This is a small damage, toggable, rapid-fire attack
that quickly refills your energy bar.
You also have an equilibrium point marked on the energy bar. This is the where your endurance recharges/drains to outside combat. This is increased by your
stats and equipment. Usually means that you start out each fight at about 50% power.
Fights usually go like this: Open with most powerful attack possible at equilibrium, turn on energy builder attack, wait one to two seconds until power is
full, use other attacks until energy is drained, energy builder cuts back in by itself, repeat.
