Most abilities that are part of your standard rotation activate it in FFXIV as well. Practically all of the non GCD abilities are identical in usage to WoW. Generally they have long cooldowns of at least 20 seconds. I see no difference really.If the GCD was reduced to 1.5 we'd have a lot more trouble optimally weaving in oGCD buffs/attacks. That's the difference between WoW and this. WoW has a shorter cooldown, but nearly everything activates it and there aren't many oGCD skills you can weave between them.
(Then you have weird cases like Soothing Mists which I would love to see as a healing mechanic in this game.)

only being able to queue lords of verminion in a small spot, and lords of verminion queues are server specific.



The whole idea of having to queue for single-player LoV in general. I play mini-games while doing other things, like waiting for DF to pop. The current system of LoV basically defeats that purpose entirely.
Alright you tell me when Leg Sweep activates my GCD. Cause that's part of DRG's standard rotation and doesn't trigger the GCD. The point was that abilities like that still trigger the cooldown in WoW while they don't here.
I said most abilities. Believe it or not stuns, silences and interrupts also USED to be part of a standard rotation in WoW back when they did damage. Blizzard removed the damage portion of those abilities to encourage people to use them as designed sometime back during Wrath of the Lich King.
