    There's only one fight in the game where you *need* to stun (Ifrit) and, honestly, a decent PLD can handle the stunterrupting while they're MT. The PLD stun having no CD is an *amazing* advantage, and having it on the GCD is a small price to pay, honestly. On Twintania, a PLD can just chainstun the add for 10 seconds because of this; it's a helluva lot harder on a WAR. The whole "PLD as stunbot, omg sucks" thing went stale about 2 months ago. PLD makes fights that require/react well to stuns a *helluva* lot easier because of their stun. Making it a clone of the other stuns may seem like a good idea, but it is an *explicit* reduction in the PLD utility toolbox.

    Well the way it works currenty is doable but it still would be nice if it was off-gcd, maybe im just too used to have snap cast interrupts for other MMO's. It would still be nice if all classes had equal interrupts, as it is pretty important ability for encounters that requires it.

    I think one of the most frustrating things about this game has more to do with animation lockout. I can't even count the number of times I've just pressed RoH and have to mash HG to get it to work. I also usually see the HG animation then immediately die. You really shouldn't be prevented from using ability B while ability A's animation is still being displayed. It's almost like a cast time for abilities that are supposed to be instant.
