Was XI the only MMO you've played? You spammed skills in pretty much every MMO lol, especially the ones that had lower CD but consistent damage.

MMOs where you just spam skills suck and suck hard. There is nothing fun about clicking every skill you have as fast as possible. I don't know what the hell SE is thinking with the universal cooldowns.. Did they not play SWTOR? That battle system is total crap.
So friggin sick of this Dev team repeatedly trying to fix things that are not broken.
I don't like the idea of killing a mob within 3-7 ws but then again if you had 3k tp the next mob you attack would die within 3-7ws lol. FFXIV need to have the mmo standards without becoming such a wow-clone so far the only thing FFXIV have vs other mmo. Is the fact you could level all jobs within the same Char, A real storyline within game that you follow with voice over and CS. As long as the fight have challenge i don't think i would mind how fast the gameplay is as long as a end boss in a dungeon is not 3-8m long like we doing now with AV/CC.
If you waste all your TP and you have to fight other mob really quick you be doing noting for what? 1-5m maybe? so i think that sound about fair.
Let's wait for Open beta before saying anything remember FFXIV Beta 1,2, and 3 each beta the battle system change from how fast you get TP too how fast your attacks are too how you get exp. I'm sure if a lot of beta testers complain on the battle system it would be 60% diff by 2.0 release.
First all mobs alrdy die from 1 full combo the same lvl as you so idk what you guys are complaining about.
I agree 8-20m fight for a boss is more then enough and we could even have very long once for really hard boss like the final floor in crystal towers too they release more floors or make it super fucking hard. The only issue i have with FFXIV right now it's not really skill base it really base on how lucky you are with lag or how fast can you press your keys to do attacks and your gear.
