    The two-minute burst window meta is quite possibly the worst thing to ever happen to PvE in this game. In fact, not just in this game. They got the idea from other MMOs that've done the same thing, and just like in those others, it resulted in oversimplification of just about everything. They're trying to make up for the loss of job complexity with increased fight complexity, but it just doesn't work in a game that revolves around memorization as opposed to reaction. If they really want to stay the course, then they badly need to update the netcode and game engine to make the fights less clunky. The two-minute meta won't be any less lame, but at least we'd have fast-paced, reactive fights to partially compensate.

    As an aside, putting everything on a two-minute window only to then design the bosses to go absolutely apesh**t when you're supposed to burst them is not increased difficulty - it is an annoyance, designed to drag the fights out a bit longer. It doesn't make the boss any more dangerous.
