    If criterion savage needs specific mob kicks, people are going to be in for a rude awakening.

    Why does every skill need to have a use on boss fights?

    What I personally think: It's cause useless skills are taking up slots for what could be more interesting skills. It's like the Dark Mind situation; I would much rather have an actual interesting CD rather than having Dark Mind rot on my hotbar in encounters that are almost 100% physical damage. Yes I understand most encounters these days have mainly magic damage tank busters, but my point still stands.

    Any type of CC is just a waste of space on your hotbar at this point aside from niche situations in dungeons, so we just want to see them get expanded upon instead of taking up space for more useful actions.

    Its more about some skills having 0 uses on any boss fights. Leg sweep is only decent in things like Bozja.
    Even garbage like Anatman can have some fringe use cases in endgame fights, leg sweep hasnt been relevant in like half a decade. Instead of pruning everything left and right they could give them some use somewhere. Hopefully Criterion does that.

    Just so you know, a mob in a gaming context is a single enemy, not a group of enemies. It's a holdover term from the days of MUDs, when enemies and NPCs were "mobiles" or "mobile objects". When referring to a group of mobs, the term is or pack (usually a small linked group) or group (more broadly, several mobs or multiple packs).

    I like leg sweep to stun the mob that's lagging behind the rest of the trash pull. I'll be damned if I'm the last one to show up to the wall.

    The skill can be nice.
    It stuns enemy for a few seconds. That can be enough to reduce the own dmg for one/two Hits. To go behinde the enemy for a positional finisher.
    Or, have the time to interact with something. And, it can help in raids by a few enemy, if the Player know, that this is a Option (never knowed, that you can block the chimera with this).

    Point still stands Leg sweep is useless as it stands, I can just use another OGCD instead in pulls and boss fights, only situation where it is ratably usable is during pull that has larger "MOB" that needs taken down before the rest due to its damage output and I'd still use a damaging OGCD instead. Feint is the only usable CC on some bosses but, is GCD, so either we need usable CC or none at all. Are we just fulling 3 hot bars just to fill them?

    I'd like to see bosses have casts that need to be interupted, would make me feel more useful as ranged phys
    especially if there's times where the tank can't interupt it too

    Stuns could be incorporated with adds that need to be stunned i suppose
