So, we should just have no diversity whatsoever? Seriously, one of the bigger complaints since the launch of 3.0 has been the almost total homogenization of jobs.

And besides, if you DO need to move for a mechanic, you can either use Feint or just turn briefly off WM if you need to move for two GCDs or longer.
Like, with Talurd and Titan EX. But, it's not like most of the main story content since 3.0 has been actually difficult or varied in terms of mechanics and stuff as opposed to the increased lengths of job rotations and stance dancing in the middle of everything being almost all of the difficulty in-game.
