Combat still too slow. We need a shorter Global Cooldown!

I like the current pace. I just wish they would make the skills not tied to gcd actually be instant instead of having a hidden 1 second gcd before the skill can be activated after another skill.

If it's not broken don't fix it

Nononono

Playing Monk wouldn't be viable. Like holy crap you have to constantly move from the back to the flank for every skill, the positioning on every single attack is already stressful enough, lowering the GCD would make them horrible compared to Bards and Archers since they can just fire away.

It would destroy some of the balance of the game, a lot of positional classes would suffer, you would have to increase the base movement speed as well and a whole lot of other factors.

In this game, you actually need to pay attention to what's happening. I've been playing MMOs for more than 10 years. I know exactly what you mean by "a shorter GCD". I was actually like you when I first started playing. But then, I started leveling, I gave the game a chance. And I've been very surprised !

And if you want shorter GCD, just roll a PGL/MNK. You will mash buttons.

indeed
in later dungeons and content, you'll barely spam your skills
it's all about dodging and positioning

It would be cool to see it drop to atleast 2 seconds. Or to have a buff in pvp when they implement it ^^

I don't think combat is too slow. If anything it's bordering spammy.

GCD is fine but i can not stand my interrupt being on it, PLD life wuld be so much easier with it on its on CD. (also we wuldnt be stuck in parties forced to just use our interrupt becuz its on the GCD, if this is wrking as intended its kinda lame)

My problem with the combat is how long it takes to cast buff that aren't on the GCD it seems like it takes forever.

Current pace is fine.
Faster does not always equal better.
