Things Getting Too Obnoxious

[Egnasya]

Generally I agree to:

- Button bloat. No matter how you go bout it, 35+ buttons is too much to handle comfortably on a keyboard OR controller, should be around 20 - 25 for an MMO.

- Too many meaningless abilities. Prime example Hot Shot / Lead Shot on MCH. Those are literally copy&paste from Dragoon for no reason other than filling button slots devs had no idea what else to put in. Damage they bring could be easily distributed to other actions. Nothing procs from them, they're not used or modified by other abilities. They're just there to be there, needlessly adding complexity without real depth. Adding even more wheels to a vehicle that already has 5, but is supposed to have 2.

- Class / job identity issues. Every class has DoTs, every melee has positionals, every DPS has a big bad playstyle changing buff at 60, many abilities feel like carbon copies taken from other classes, and so on...


Those things need to see major corrections by 3.1, or else be prepared that things get even worse with further expansions.

You forgot Mug lol... Yeah, when you are solo'ing and need the little HP, but for items? Meh!

Takes too much to time the action. Trying to get the mob low only to have a crit kill it.

This. It's less 'being difficult' and more button bloat.
