That's great that you are enjoying the game!
I've got some changes for combat in this next update and I agree with your points of feedback. Hoping to improve the combat even more as we go, so look forward to it getting better with feedback from players like you. :)
Thanks!
That's a bug. I completely re-wrote the job systems for version 0.10.0.0 (the next update) so stuff like this is fixed.
