Again... having a combo button wouldn't prevent you from weaving oGCDs... it just means that the next action in a combo replaces the previous action as you progress through the combo.

For those that play on gamepad it would mean being able to place the buttons for more oGCDs on their primary hotbar, thus making them easier to get to.

When Yoshi says "player skill" I imagine he meant the judgement about when to use abilities... but now we're having to fight with with remembering Cross Hotbar layouts on top of rotations, and Server latency not accurately reading double taps and releases for W Cross bars.

that’s the fun of it. well again, an optional handicap mode is a very welcome addition. one of the reasons why pvp control is that way is so the amount of “player skill” required is reduced. hey button pressing is actually a skill now.

Not only in regards to healing obviously, but what are you looking forward for them to add? Or remove? Or just overall change?

I personally would like if they redesigned Protect to be a cooldown instead of a "cast one and we're good" kind of spell.
It would also be nice to have a gap closer on the Paladin, or maybe a reworked Shield Lob, to make it bounce between hostile targets to aggro multiple mobs at once.

WHY do you want to make healing more difficult? This would just add more things to remember and complicate a rotation, which is exactly what Yoshi P is trying to get away from. I believe he said something akin to classes suffering from skill bloat and is looking for ways to reduce them. Plus, if they're going to add more skills from 70-80, they are going to have to cut things down.

You know, if protect is something everyone always use at the start of a dungeon, and maybe refresh upon a Rez.... it may as well just be removed entirely from the game, and encounters balanced around it not existing.

But... But... healing isn't even that difficult if you have room to DPS for 80% of almost anything that isn't savage. Sometimes even savage.

I would love that paladín had a change depending if he is in shield or sword oath.
In shield oath he can have the current one that is a sword and a shield, but in sword oath he could be able to dual wield swords, that will make sense in why the drop of defense and the boost in attack.
