    Waiting for a mob to die, then running over to the next one completely defeats the purpose of a roaming party. The reason I referenced the roaming parties in XI was because they were a perfect example of a more, as you put it, "dynamic" take on leveling.



    The first statement (the bolded one) is technically true. Yes, fights do become "more static" in the sense that, as a mage, you can't play duck-duck-goose with the ppl in your party, while accomplishing your role.

    However, the "hunker down and fight your heart out" bs is not true. Hence, the aforementioned roaming parties. A roaming party is DRASTICALLY different from camping. Multiple ppl are allowed to pull WHILE fighting, as long as the current one is not a threat; mages can cure the party up, and move to the next one to sleep it or do w/e; you can split the party into smaller groups to fight an individual mob each, etc.

    There are a lot more options in a roaming party, than there are in a "hunkered" down one. And "moving while casting" has little to nothing to do with those options.
    Are we still talking about this? were you incarcerated for a few weeks or something?

    I can actually respect taking a break...
    And I apologize if I came off as rude......

    But what I was saying is that Yoshi's vision of battle is the best of both worlds and a great compromise.
    I look forward to it...
    And I really do look forward to the low latency, multiple spell options days that are obviously ahead
    i wasn't knocking your point... I was really just talking more about movement while in battle...
    I personally think the road ahead is awesome... we just need feedback like this thread (Even with all the arguments) to smooth out all the kinks...
