Shield BAsh and the GCD

[Sogi]

No, you don't understand that our stun is the most useful in the game, and that has to come at a cost. "Wait and stun" is that cost. Don't like it? Play a Marauder or a Lancer and enjoy your 20-30 second cooldowns on stun.

can u be muted? wheres your off switch?

Shouldn't be as bad with the new enmity buffs. It gets easier as you memorize patterns too. Sure hope none of the ex primals need stuns, they're random aren't they? Def need an off tank then.

Not about pattern when you're in 24 man content trying to hold aggro. Solo tank ifrit pre-buff fine. Either way it's just annoying to have it on same cd as your hate holding abilities.

Ah CT. I think the only situation where you'd *need* stun is on the big succubi for their terror attack-thingy in the early part right? charge up seems to be enough for you to be stuck in combo and still stun it, though idk I've only went on war so far. Only mt'd too so idk if there are adds that *need* stuns.

Take it of the GCD.

The problem is not the global cooldown. It's the fact that it's influenced by animations, so previous animation needs to have ended before you perform the shield bash. This means that getting one in is just a matter of luck, as even autoattack will delay it.

I'm fine with global cooldown, but animations should not delay any kind of timing related moves, like stuns and silences.

Welcome to FFXIV: ARR, the first MMOM (Massively Multiplayer Online Memory) game.

The goal? Failing content until you know it by heart, and can play without watching your screen. It's a wonder why they bothered with the amazing graphics.

Yeh failing is bad.. much more fun to just run to loot, grab it, log out, go to forum and scream "no content"

Less effort, no skills and more bling bling, thats the real future of gaming

You scared yourself, man. Just look at the game, and you tell me where's the "skill difficulty"? The only variable is the speed at which you'll get your shiny. Effort = patience/time (which many don't have, you're right)
