lmfao i just leveled my black mage to 70 finally and i completely agree with what you said. Every time i build up to get foul and cast it and it crits i look around at my party members and i think to myself "omg did you guys just see that!!!! i just pounded that mob in the ground with a single hit!!!!" lol. It's fun. I don't think anything is wrong with the combat. In ffxiv it's not the same old same old mmo crap where you just stand in one spot and spam buttons. It actually takes thought and practice to maximize your dps and rotations. Alot of people keep saying negative things about it when i feel like it's the exact opposite. It's unique and original and not overly simplified like most mmo's out there.
