In the forums for some of the other professions I have seen it stated that normally you would only use a few specials per fight. This is not how I fight and I was wondering what the drawbacks to my fighting style would be.
example:
I am a fencer/CM so I can heal myself quite well.
I will typically have a mind buff from fangora when walking around.
When fighting I apply status affects first.
blind
health (for bleed affect)
dizzy
Then I will lunge until the dizzy takes affect (if applicable)
Then I will 1hit 3 until I have won or until i have to re-apply one of the above.
I am speed capped with my weapon, so when I use normal attack I can hit once per second. When I use 1 hit3, I hit multiple times per second making shorter work of my enemies.
Is this normal? Are there any drawbacks to doing this?
Thanks for the feedback.

your style seems fine, just remember to intimidate along with everything you did that you listed.

You should always lead with intimidate first if they are a worthy foe. Cut their damage in half then work on killing them.

for pveand if it is really something hard to kill intimidate then 1hit3 till its dead (talking about 30k+ mobs where anything else but intimidate and a warcry to sort yourself wont land on the mob)
pvp sadly have to rely on my poison and fire dot knifes and swords if fighting a meleer who knows what hes doing and is prepared, other than that dizzy, posture change, watch him land on his butt and hit3.

Couple of questions here:
Blind: do u guys use the /1hBlindhit2 (or watever its called) to blind an enemy or do u chaps just rely on /1hHit3 until the blind takes effect from that (in pvp btw)
Bleed: Is it actually worth sticking on a bleed, does it help much atall, i never seem to notice it ?
DOT: Do we actually get better than about 100-150 str dots, all i can find/loot are 110 str mind poisons which are kinda pathetic compared to other classes such as pikemen.
