Another thing the 2.5 sec CD does is it means you DPS at a slower rate, which means you actually have to think tactically about using your damage boosters at the right time, maybe bringing that second bard rather than another dps. Also if you are only level thirty and haven't experienced endgame, how can you bitch about the game as a whole? If an endgame raider could chime in, and i know there are several guilds out there already, how is the current end game full party content? I know there aren't raids in yet per se, but what about the 8 man content. Are the mechanics of the fight complex enough that you don't notice the 2.5 sec CD? How are the skill rotation like?
