Its ffxiv combat really so slow and boring?

[Sigma-Astra]

If Opo-Opo:

Bootshine, Dragon Kick, Arm of the Destroyer.

If Raptor:

True Trike, Twin Snakes, One Ilm Punch.

If Coeurl:

Demolish, Snap Punch, Rock Breaker.

Done. 3 buttons. Press the one you want.

No one uses One Ilm Punch in their right mind. No respectable monk would use it. Ever.
