Different combat mechanics depending on attack speed

As of the latest combat snapshot, it seems as if the new combat is just 1.8 combat. There is no repercusion for spam clicking or holding down click, nor is there a reward for waiting for the cooldown bar to fill, in fact, spaming is better and more efficiant than waiting to attack, so it is just 1.8 pvp, but faster and with the new version's content. I think there should be differences depending on how you attack, some of my recomendetions are: 

-Waiting for the cooldown bar does more damage

-Holding down to attack or spam clicking is faster, but does less damage overall

-You can only do critical attacks with fully loaded cooldown bars

This way there is more flexibility to what kind of pvp or pve style you want, while keeping the combat system as a new and improved combination of all and not just 1.8. As it stands today, the 1.9 combat is completely obsolete in these new snapshots. Overall I really like some other features that have been added to the snapshot, but I think combat itself needs to be worked on.

    What are you talking about? Spam clicking does reduce the effectiveness of the attacks. Holding down the button auto-attacks, but it takes longer than doing it manually. If you time the attacks yourself, you can attack faster while still getting the full damage.

    Like the post said above, you don't always want to spam click. Normally you want to be timing your hits correctly instead of just holding down the button(which is a bit slower than actually spam clicking). You also lose range when spam clicking. The charged attacks already deal more damage. Normal, spammed/held attacks deal 100% while charged(full cooldown is over) deal 200%. It might be the same case for critical attacks but I'm not sure.

    fully charged attacks only affect reach, not damage
