Tanks and spam windows

[Hanayome]

What's with the unreasonable dislike for using a skill multiple times in a row? Thats what AoE rotations were. Spam Abyssal Drain/Overpower/Total Eclipse. Granted, WAR fit in some Decimate/Steel Cyclones and DRK used Quietus, but largely you spammed your AoE. They've changed that now but this is what we've had since ARR till now.

IR acts as a cleanse/anti-knockback/draw-in. New Delirium, assuming its unchanged, allows for outputting burst without Blood costs while also recovering a decent chunk of mana. Personally I think there's more to it than just "press to do da big deeps".

Also I fail to see how pressing 1 2 3 for a predetermined combo for most of the damn fight is any more enlightened or complicated than pressing 1 five or 6 times in a row under specific conditions every, what, 90 seconds?

Yeah, so unreasonable to dislike that 3/4 jobs in the role share the same, vapid mechanic, what are people thinking amirite.
Also WAR/PLD AoE has always been super boring. Not as much of an issue when it's just dungeon trash though, because people who care for engaging gameplay generally don't give a crap about dungeons.

Yeah, because IR is so known for being used for it's utility, rather than on cooldown for burst dps, especially considering you can just cancel knockbacks with Onslaught.

If all you do on jobs without IR-esque bursts is spam 123, then you might wanna hit up some job guides.

looks like some ppl want this for FFXIV with is sad for me.

That's what we get for saying that transition tank mechanic in Susano was cool - they listened and made it into a role identity.

Yeah, and many people asked for more expansive AoE rotations.

Hence now in ShB we're getting AoE combo's, so we don't just spam one button over and over for AoE.

Many people also dislike the simplifying of combo's down to predominantly just pressing 123 over and over with 2 Tank jobs occasionally pressing a different finisher every couple of rotations for DoT/Buff upkeep...

More rotational variety is wanted alongside having more interesting "Burst" phases.

So we're not just pressing 123 44444 123123123123123 for ever and all eternity during a fight.

It's not unreasonable.
