As a level 70 BRD, I don't ever feel like my combat is slow or boring. I have so many things I'm juggling - it's more than enough to keep me busy managing procs, manageig Foe's, managing MP, managing party resources, etc.

Leveling up things feel slow because of skill pruning, but it's not slow at level cap. Especially if you're doing high end content. I think you need to play the game a bit more before you start talking about how slow it is.

Though, you are welcome to feel as if ARR is boring. Because it is. HW is much better.
