Between alternating gcd and non-gcd skills I'm hitting a skill every second or so. Pacing seems great to me.

The pace is fine with me, I've become accustomed to it. What I wish is if this game wasn't so horribly restricted to animation sequences. What I mean is, I have to wait until the animation is done for an action before I can use an ability off the global cooldown. What makes it even worse is abilities that have long animations themselves off cooldown are difficult at best to time.
For example, MRD/WAR can interrupt/stun on cooldown, off the GCD. Thats awesome and all, but it's almost never going to work to interrupt something unless you stop everything you're doing and hit it at the right time. The animation for it is stupendously long, longer than most cast timers, before it even hits the enemy. What is even worse is, if you're curing halfway through an animation (I'm looking at you butcher's block), even if the ability is off cooldown and off the "global cooldown", you're still waiting until you're done twirling your axe to use it (or any cooldown for that matter).
They need to make abilities that are off the GCD, off any inhibitor. I'd like to be able to use the ability immediately if it is available, and have it go off immediately.
Someone hasn't fought the demon wall yet.
Please get to lvl 50 and get all 5 cross class skills first.
I like it the way it is. If you'd prefer, Dragon Nest is free on Steam. :P
Pace is fine, you just have to adjust. Dropping the GCD by 1s would require re-balancing the entire game. No need for that.
I would've agreed with you in earlier levels. After healing Brayflox and Cutter's Cry I'd say the combat is keeping me pretty busy (during bosses at least) and they aren't even the hardest dungeons.
Between frequent healing and removing debuffs, and dodging redzones I barely get a chance to do any offensive casting anymore(which is awesome).
1 or 1.5 second global cooldown would be the most horrifying thing on a controller.
Equip yourself with more skill speed. Its good as it aleady is.
Shorter global cool downs will alienate controller users. So no. Also, if you notice boss fights, the cool down time is not coincidental.
