I want the rate of attacks to be down to about one (or two at most) a
second - at least for  'normal' weapons (like broadswords). Try
swinging a sword more than twice a second consistantly, and then you
will see why I think this a reasonable limit (yes, you can do more
with a fencing sword like a foil or epee, but they don't do much
damage anyway, if someone wants to add them with stupidly high weapon
speeds, they could still do so). - having fewer attacks means more
time to think in combat, less hack and slash, more strategy, and less
CPU overhead too.

I want to get rid of reflect spells and reflect arrows as abilities, I
think they too effectively nerf lightning spells, and make cone spells
to useful. However I would like to have a 'recast' spell, which would
cast a copy of any spell that hits a player in the opposite direction
for  a short period of time (couple of seconds).
