What are your thoughts on FFXIV's combat?

[Missbone]

My honest opinion? I think the FF14 combat system is worst from all MMOs out there. Especially the long GCD between the actions annoys me. Its like taking a breaking between each action. Even very old MMOs like HDRO or Anarchy online did this already way better in the past. I guess it thanks to the console players that we got such an akward GCD of nearly 2,5 seconds.

I know no one here likes WoW and it has been a long time since i logged in there. But when in comes to Combat it was a 100times better. Thx to the short GCD which could be reduced even more with some classes and items it was possible to lower the GCD to under 1sec and there was no such thing like a waiting que for actions if you push something to fast. This felt really good back than. There where a lot of reasons that make me drop wow, but the combat was not one of them.
