Dps job design issues due to lack of utility.

Technically, it wasn't just the functionality that was changed. Interrupts only stop an ongoing cast. Silence also delayed future casts, albeit only for a single second. This actually made SCH's AoE silence (via Selene) pretty damn strong for gathering casters in certain dungeons, in ways a mere interrupt would not have done.

I imagine the change had more to do with future-proofing potential problems with affectable boss's skill scheduling than that, though. Since when has XIV ever given a damn about dungeons, after all, save to make them more shallow?

Ehh, I feel the dungeons have gotten more interesting mechanically personally, but they will never be ex or savage level.

I loved 5.0s leveling dungeons.

I'd like more stuff like older 2.0 style dungeons, but people always seem to hate those the most so... They stopped making them that way.

What's more interesting mechanically about corridors and forced walls?

I think the reference was more towards boss mechanics? It's not as if anything else worth calling a "mechanic" has existed outside of boss fights since ARR.

(Though, some have made the case that even AoEs and even auto-attacks, even when they generate zero unique behavior or interactions, out to be considered separate -- even to be further broken into conal AoEs, linear, radial, etc. --and real mechanics, so...)

I dunno, what's interesting about standing in 1 spot for hours killing the same mobs over and over?

Oh, we aren't having a battle of generalities based on the game?

I never said dungeons were suddenly very interesting. I said more interesting.


The leveling dungeons at least, require a bit more though than the previous expansions. And that is all I meant.

If I want to scratch my difficult content itch I have savage, but the tier is over and we've cleared so....
