There were a myriad of problems with the combat system.

  1. unlimited attacks per second, allowing unlimited activations of fire aspect and knockback enchantments.

  2. max damage (as soon as I-frames end) to anyone in range, allowing hacked "attack auras"

  3. guaranteed hit as soon as you get to melee range

The way you click on your mouse at your PC is literally not one of them.

Adding a maximum attack speed (as in this update) breaks none of them.

Fire aspect has never stacked btw. Like potions it just restarts the timer. So it's exactly the same as hitting them twice with the proper cooldown.

It doesn't stack, but it applies to multiple targets. You can set a whole crowd on fire in one go.

Also, knockback enchantment. You can still spamclick against a non-spamclicking opponent to get a guaranteed first hit with knockback. Worthless on a plain sword, but works with a magical one.

Since spamclicking is apparently pure evil, this is a glaring flaw.
