    What are your thoughts on FFXIV's combat?

    What makes a good combat? Do you think FFXIV has good combat?
    Is a large number of skills to be pressed and memorized making the combat of a game good?
    Is it the many procs to keep track of good?
    Is it the many oGCDs with long cooldown to weave between skills and spells with GCD good?
    Can UI help make the combat feel better?
    ...
    And many other factors which require your value opinions.
    Is FFXIV's combat satisfying to you? And how to improve it?
    Please give me your thoughts and opinions (with valid explanations). It may be helpful to the devs too.

    Personally, I'd prefer more "thinking on your feet" and less "memorize rotations." But for what it is, it's rwally enjoyable for the most part.
    Could do with less delay though.

    Edit (had more time now):

    Personally I've struggled a lot with the butto bloat. I'd like less, but more impactful abilities for most jobs I've tried. Stuff like gnb's bleeds, and several heals that are just "big heal" etc aren't really exciting, and especially on gnb and sch I run out of comfortable keybinds.

    In pvp especially, the delay between input and effect is maddening. 90% of my heals land on people who are already dead. Also not a fan of the many one-shot LBs.

    That being said, the overall feel I get from combat is excellent. Spells look good and sound impactful, there are many fun mechanics to interact with that while mostly easy, still manage to make you feel good for nailing them.
    Jobs are varied enough that I don't get bored, but I think they could use more unique features (lije bards leaning more into buffing others like dnc does, but in different ways maybe?)

    Yes because it’s not like we can’t all recognise the healer role is badly flawed

    As a healer main: it is boring because you spam one button almost the whole time.

    I like my WHM not flawed for me and many others but we know how that goes.

    I play mostly WHM, RDM and GNB and I enjoy them quite a bit. I think the combat is fun.

    Healers should have more offensive spells then. Dps Healers are quite fun to many people. But to some, it's not their taste. FFXIV can have diverse healer styles that can appeal many people' tastes I guess.

    I mean you can like them but I don’t think it can be argued having a 1 button rotation is good design or works well in the games combat

    I see it otherwise. Healers should get reasons to heal. Because if i play a healer then i want play a healer ond not a (crippled) DPS job.
