Respawn Rate / Links / Crowd Control - adjustments incoming?

Gla does not have reliable multi mob hate managment until 48 when flash becomes AOE. Wardrum which is a reactive ability is learned at 38 but is of no use when hate is pulled away from you or an add is introduced and you have to wait on a block. Rampart has a 120 sec cooldown and seems to be a skill to pop to secure hate in long 1 vs 1 fights after the GLa has enmity on everything being fought. Flash is decent as a lv 14 skill for single target (until 48)

I completely agree with this. This was one of my major turn offs because I am primarily a GLA player. I was expecting big things for GLA and turns out we got shit on again. I like that GLA are now necessary for things like Ifrit, and Ogre, but even trivial fights like the skeletons in DH quest almost wipe a party b/c the GLA can't manage a crowd. It's RIDICULOUS. There's no crowd control anymore. I'm trying to imagine doing kobald gold coffer with new changes. Ummm... it's probably impossible.


Fix:

War Drum shouldn't require a block before activation and have a 1~ minute cooldown. I could live with this.

you can guarantee a block with aegis boon, which has a 60 second cooldown, so you can basically war drum on like 1st hit every 60 seconds.

But overall i do feel like this system was created with level 50 in mind. I guess they expect you to get certain abilities from other job fairly early.
