The problem with "Instant OFF GCD" abilities makes combat feel less rewarding.

That is most definitely not shield bashing something while simultaneously striking it with all your might.

Nice try though.

If you think about it, this system makes the most sense of all of them. Why should you be able to bash something with your shield while you're in the middle of swinging your sword down as hard as you can on it's head?

Really? I am frickin' holding them in two different hands. That's why.

Lol seriously? Ok Mr, why don't you buy a shield and sword and go shield bash a target dummy in RL while simultaneously swinging your sword into it's skull with all your might.

Please record it.

You must have missed the part where he explained how piercing or slicing is always superior to striking or swinging.

You must have missed the part where he's not a Paladin in Final Fantasy XIV.

Dude, C'mon... seriously. Are you now saying that our game mechanics should be based on actual reality ?

Off you go and youtube yourself fireballing a vicious monster in your back yard then, and then summon a giant chicken before jumping over the garden fence on your way to weaving an armoured tunic in 20 seconds.

EDIT: Signing off now due to need to sleep and reaching daily post limit. Kanzer, you're arguments are reaching further into the depth of absurdity and desperation with every post. Seems you are immune to actual logic. All you're doing is helping to jeopardise the future of the game. No offense, but please wake up.
