This isn't WoW. Not everything has to be like WoW. Get over it.

And if you want WoW-type combat, just equip your Job Stone, get the latest Tomestone/Vendor gear, and away you go.

I'm just asking for an alternative for players who can't do the dodging due to latency, where they trade having to dodge for having to prepare more.

Where "prepare more" =
  • collect skills and gear,
  • put together a load out from available skills and gear that would work well with the encounter

Job (ultra convenient WoW-type class)

or

Class (preparation heavy old school RPG class)

it's completely your choice.
