Wow combat and class design in majority is hot garbage, if you do anything else than rushing through dungeon you could play it with one hand.
It is faster but its not surprising since GCD is sitting at 1 sec so all specs should have over 60 apm which is not the case and a ton of them is sitting way below that. In ffxiv despite gcd being 2.5 sec jobs do 31+ apm the least.
Good morning,

I am commenting here to show that it is quite far higher than that if you look at players who are above average. I've taken 2 logs to show the CPM. The first log below is form one of the top 100 guilds in the world. Please see below for the CPM from this top 100 guild. A third of the raiders CPM for first boss on Mythic The Eternal Palace are double the CPM, 2 almost triple, the actions per minute possible for FF14.




Now let's look at a more laid back guild. I will use mine for example. We're a hybrid guild and community of raiders. More so on the super casual side of raiding until we get to the half way point of Heroic difficulty of raids, as that's when things start to get real.




I post this to show that's it's not actually that far down on CPM. It's quite accurately double, and as shown here can be tripled, with the actions per minute. When you look at casual players and see the comparison it's not too vastly down either.

I picked the first boss because that's one you sit around and don't have to move too much. Kind of like how E2S is besides standing in a puddle every now and then or the tank / healer running to their A / C marker for flares.
