This is my personal feedback, shared to help the game thrive in its niche.
For one, we don't actually know how hybrid the abilities themselves are going to be.
We have "hybrid combat" (the way Wildstar did, with both tab-target and action abilities) but not "hybrid abilities" (the way GW2 and ESO do), based on current information.
So far all evidence shows that abilities are either tab-focused or action focused, not both at the same time. This is further shown in the 25/75% rule.
As for why would you not go action camera all the time?
Multiple reasons. Here's a few.
"...in which i mean tab targeted stuff and action stuff will play a little bit differently and they'll have different strengths and weaknesses right it's probably not going to be a one-to-one like the all the advantages of tab are going to be all the advantages that an action person has right they'll be a little bit different they'll be a little bit asynchronous and um the hope is that those two things together we can balance...

TT and AC will have different abilities and balancing will be done by having different strengths and weaknesses.
Nice. And the results really speak for themselves. Much like that other poll with a thousand or so votes.
You got a link to that poll? I think I remember one a while back, but I don't remember 1k+ votes.

Yes: https://www.reddit.com/r/AshesofCreation/comments/lz2i3z/whats_your_preferred_type_of_combat/
Thanks, no wonder I could not find it on the forums. I treat reddit like the "yahoo answers" replacement it is.
Still it is great to see that all of this anti-action combat talk is not the majority. Just a bunch of people on here that don't like it.

Aren't we all sinners?
Totally agree on both points.
Don’t know where you have seen a majority being open to both. This poll, and the OP poll as of early this morning both show the majority being action only, second place being open to both, tab being last.
I am in favor of Action Combat only 21.54% (14 votos) Total 14
I am happy to use either Tab Targeting or Action Combat 12.12% (8 votos)
I lean towards Tab Targeting but I would happily use Action Combat as well 15.38% (11 votos)
I lean towards Action Combat but I would happily use Tab Targeting 12.31% (8 votos)
Total 27.
As for the Reddit poll its limited on its choices in terms only preference and not acceptance of the other type aswell.

Yea exactly, the only thing the poll shows is that AC people dont want anything else, where as TT are open to try both.
Also, people on these forums and reddit are usually younger players, which leans towards AC but doesnt represent the majority of players.
