My experience as a DPS and my issue with tanks

[Klaleara]

This is interesting to me. As a WoW refugee, that really isn't much of an issue in WoW. Constant pull is pretty common in dungeons over there, especially in mythics.

Just shows how different the combat in FF14 is.

Indeed, I'd imagine anyone pulling like this has come over from WoW and is running on muscle memory.

In WoW this type of pull is called "Chain pulling" and is most optimal, where you take as many mobs as you can survive, the group burns a few off (particularly key targets), then when the pack is no longer threatening you keep on the move to the next pack(s).

This doesn't work well in FF14 because we aren't very mobile and combat is not fluid, dps on a running mob is clunky for melee with server ticks causing attacks not to register. Dps don't get more sprint cd's than tanks. We have combos that break while WoW has aoe to mash. In WoW it's constant movement through the dungeon that flows which is important on timed runs. It actually highlights just how clunky ff14 combat really is.

Which is actually a good thing imo. Ret Paladin has a total of about 6 buttons in their rotation which gets really boring really quickly. Fury warrior has about 8. Havoc Demon Hunter has maybe 5 or 6. Beastmaster Hunters just mash the kill button then off they go to Netflix.

I like that FFXIV has combos thank you I wish WoW had combos :P
