The battle pace keep getting slower and slower every patch and it cater even less to solo play. Maybe this is SE way of implementing a time sink.
1.20 is an overkill with almost no AOE, bad dmg output (even with "almight" combos), slow TP build, 3k TP skills and long CD. Plus what really bothers me is that they took out most of the useful skills to be re-introduced - I assume - by the "new jobs"

I can honestly say that 1.20 took the fun and excitement of battle out of the game for me.
