True North and Positionals

[Reimmi]

You people want even more brain dead dps players? I said it before and I'll say it again. Posutionals make the difference between good and great DPS players. No need to lower the already low skill ceiling.

Is it low though? i feel like of the mmos out there right now FF14 has a pretty good skill ceiling for DPS
compared to wow and eso i actually have to think with most of the dps

For example, i could go from MM hunter to arms warrior and master the spec in like an hour at most because most specs have 3-4 buttons and usually come down to generate resource > spend resource > press cds when they come off cd with no thought at all
but going from brd to ninja for example the playstyles are so vastly different it's impossible to master without playing for a while

It's not because other games are simple that we aren't simple ourselves. Yes, WoW has oversimplified their things but XIV isn't much better. Once you got the mainline rotation done, it's all about when to pop CDs and when to use which oGCDs. I haven't played ESO so I can't comment on that but I do come from GW2 where things do get complex as certain skills will either give you or your allies certain buffs and although the game has some easy professions and specs, the more complex ones blows us out the water, with only 15-20 buttons.
