Ok after writing the post beneth i realised that the original post was a little brod formulated.

I edited it to get it more clear on what i tried to say.

Sry Datonkallandor , dont be mad at me ^^

Of course they use cooldowns and resources , but what i havent in mind was the aimshot of the auto-rifle , of course it would be overpowered at the moment with no cooldown and only use one bullet to shoot therefore i mentioned the bolter example.

If the aimshot would use , lets say 10 bullets per shot, you could use it only 3 to 4 times with a stadart rifle if you level up and get better gear with higher resource capacity you could use it more offten and feel the better-ness of that weapon.

And on the other hand attack as fast as you can click ? By all respect i never mentioned that in my post and i would have never guessed you would think that iam THAT childisch ^^ , of course the weapon should have a attack per second scaling for baseattacks like it does now with the short cooldown. 

But yeah with the system i mention above you could of course spam 3 - 5 aimshots, but you could only kill 3 - 5 enemies and would have to reload so in close combat it would be more efficient to use the left mouse attack to kill more enemies with a lower ammuniton cost.

All that above dont means that it have to be on every weapon like that but i should be on the weapons that heave a special purpose like meele weapons. The thunderhammer has only one singelattack and one aoe attack ( without a stormshield ) with a 5 ? second cooldown , a singelattack dont kill most things on the same powerlevel with one hit but there are often many enemies , so you have to run away ( as a meele fighter ).

Just think of the barbarian in diablo 3 if he coulnd use his aoe attack until his rage is empty.

... and yes sry that i mentioned D3 , but i nneded an example.

Two other things that bothers me.

1. At least if you shoot (channel) with a boltpistol in full auto you can hit the button for assault jump as long as you like he wont interupt the action to jump and continue afterwards.

2. I got the feeling even if you hold the mousbutton to move he dont follows the mouse , he rather follows the invisible point on the floor were the mouse is pointing at. That leads to a wierd pathfinding problem if iam walking up a ramp and my mouse points into a wall the char dont follow the mouse-direction he follows the point on the floor behind the wall so he turns halfway on the ramp and follows the point on the floor. The mouse still is out of the map behind the wall so he runs a bit in the direction and then suddenly starts running around in a glitchy circel for all eternity until i move my mouse again.

Suggestion , dont let the the char follow the invisible point on the floor under the mouse if you hold the mouse to move around , let him run in the direction where the mouse is.

Iam sorry that i cant show you the thing in a vid because i have no knowledge of recording stuff but the issue should be very easy to replicate.
