Rotations

[Drayce1]

Whinecraft is literally for most classes, 3 to 5 buttons. Tera, I only remember release days, well, 6 months after, bought a unopened collectors edition of it at a gamestop collecting dust. Tera has action combat with animation cancelling, takes some skill to pull off well depending on class.

Xiv? Well, from what Im seeing thatll happen in shadowbringer, its gonna get alot simpler....lulz

Having played all of those games I would say, in my opinion, Final Fantasy XIV expects the most out of you (not a bad thing). As people have mentioned WoW has been so dumbed down a 3 year old can play it, in fact my 3 1/2 year old plays WoW with my wife, that should tell you something about game difficulty.

All I have to say is if it's such an easy rotation than I dunno why are most people not even coming close to thier max potential? I include myself in this of course.

The answer is quite simple. People are moronic.

WoW & FF14 are on the same level of ease.

At a higher level it is a bit more complex. But for general play, both are easy and you can make mistakes and still do okay.

I know people like to trash talk WoW, but FF14 isn't that much more complex.

People think they press so many buttons because of combo abilities.

They should simplify the combo abilities like they do in pvp.

It would save a decent amount of button bloat.

There where a few classes in wow that made me wonder why they even had half the skills they do.

With ffxiv once i get warmed up to a class its pretty easy for me. it helps that all the skills have an apparent reason to exist.

Knowing a rotation is only part of the equation. Fights have mechanics, which are typically designed in a way to mess with your rotation to force you to rework your strategy.

Hum the most difficult to me was Tera because of targetting system I really didn't liked. And my favorite gameplay over all? Lahn in BlackDesert. Thought BDO sounds to me awfully "Whale Hunt" and I would have prefered to have more option for key binding.
Revelation Online has an interesting system.

I mean, is asking what game has the harder rotation even the right question?

Shouldnt the question be which game has the funner class rotations, or class mechanics possibly?

[Sated]

FFXIV has an excess of buttons and would greatly benefit from some pruning... just not as much as Blizzard did to WoW.

Somewhere there's a healthy and fun middle but XIV and WoW both went to extremes.

FF14 can be quite deceptive, you'll think you're doing "fine" because you didn't die and in reality you're only pushing 60% of your potential, while in WoW you're probably actually doing fine.

I personally went through this BADLY during Heavensward. My rotation I had practiced for hours, had notes on my desk and everything. But I had no concept of uptime or GCD clipping and I couldn't figure out why I was doing so little damage compared to my peers. those were fun times.
