Go check the battle rotation with dragoon, it's a spam fest.

Listen, all im saying is that combat can feel just as epic and satisfying... Maybe even more, if there were a option for slower combat. Combos can actually mean something rather than the spam fest it is at the moment.

Only one here that offered a response with substance was Moomba. That rest was quite toxic....
Hoo boy...if you thought the responses thus far were anywhere close to toxic, then you have been sheltered from the Internet for too long.

All sarcasm aside, I can get where you are coming from, but there aren't really ...spammy jobs. I mean sure, players who don't know what they are doing correctly can probably spam. Some jobs like NIN and MCH have ten second windows that may feel like spam, but for the most part, I think combat is just fine where it is. I can't imagine combat being slower without a huge overhaul that will likely make FFXIV lose its combat identity. I've seen the Garuda fight in the 1.0 engine - I could not handle something like that in FFXIV.

Sadly, we're in a faster-paced environment where that type of game style is not really something that MMO players tend to look for, especially newer players and those coming from other MMOs and MOBA-style games. The slower combat would really only be niche in FFXIV.

What jobs do you play with, out of curiosity?
