What are your thoughts on FFXIV's combat?

I say this because literally 6.1 and 6.2 has and or will be doing much more than the first 2 patches of Shb ever did.

Tell that to someone who mained SCH in 4.0

All 3 healers were a radical departure in how they played between 3.5 and 4.0 and played very differently with the expansions release. And it wasn't just the healers, many other jobs changed significantly with the new level cap. Pour one out for the bow and gunmages.

A lot of core gameplay stuff was changed across a large number of jobs.

Meanwhile with 6.0, we got 1.5 second healer nukes, 1 job got reworked and.....

To be fair, blizzard changing wows combat completely every expansion so I need to relearn my class from scratch and end up main switching because I don't like what they did pissed me off, too.

Yeah, Blizzard got a bit silly with that later on. SE have been just as guilty of that at times though, again, Bow and Gunmages are a prime example. Treading the line isn't easy.
