Not even remotely true. Guild Wars 2 is FAR more responsive. The entire game is built with the idea that there is no tank or healer and YOU are personally responsible for keeping yourself alive. The means to do that is very well timed dodging.

Seeing as I leveled most every class to max in GW2, farmed all of the dungeons and climbed the difficulty ladder in Fractals...I can say with absolute certainty that FFXIV makes dodging really, really hard. GW2 has the same 1-hit kill attacks as FFXIV does, yet somehow you don't feel like you got cheated on that game. When you get hit by it there, it's because you timed your dodge wrong or didn't react fast enough.

When you get his by them here, it's because the game told you .1 seconds before the attack lands that it is coming. Or hits you even though you are on the other side of the room before the circle vanishes.
