Combat still too slow. We need a shorter Global Cooldown!

[Scerick]

I like the current flow of combat. Please don't presume to speak for everyone

The global cooldown is not a big deal, a big deal is the dumb 0.5 second timer on instant abilities. Makes the combat feel awfully unresponsive.

This. I have no idea why instant casts cannot be casted during the first half of the GCD.

As a BLM there are definitely some issues with pacing. Using the instant cast cooldown and the +20% damage cooldown require that you wait about 1 second between the end of GCD, and then you cant' cast for another 1 second after. It's very, very, very clunky.

You forget that with better gear and higher level that goes away. You're going to have a lot of things that increase SkillSpeed attribute later on and you'll be casting far faster than you are now. That GCD won't be a limiter for you for long.

I like the cooldown. Gives me enough time to run around the boss's backside and punch him in the ass with the right skill.

Fast cooldowns ruin games. Go look at a game called perfect world international and the assassin and blademaster class. The game has literally been ruined because the 2 classes attack so fast the characters twitch to an extreme speed and it looks really bad.

Too slow? People are complaining just for the sake of complaining now? The Combat is fine. The 1.0 was slow, but 2.0 speed it up a lot. The way I see it is now the other way around. It was so fast that they take out the Skill Chain because skill now execute a lot faster.

You need to play your Class better and have the right skill Rotation. Rift, WoW is slower, go back there and play it if you don't believe me. Wow just seam faster because class have a gazillion skills to spam. Any faster we will turn Final Fantasy game into active combat, I for once agree with the producer saying this game is not to be real action combat and it doesn't work well with Final Fantasy.

I like it the way it is, so yeah don't speak for us.

Nobody reached that yet then, and the closest thing i can think is GW2 system, which is a massive failure.

To be honest, TERA is pretty close. For tab based combat both WoW and SWTOR are pretty decent. GW2 is good aswell, it just lacks variety and gets boring fast. But again, here is the logic that if its FF, its ok to be bad and to be behind the times.

You will never know what hit you. But revel in the fact that 2 months from now, when the servers are dieing, your lack of forward thinking brought about the situation.

I do wonder what you lot will do when FFXV comes out. No 2.5sec to make decisions there. Oh noes! Will this blind view come to change then? Somehow i think it will.

Dont bother, i wont be sticking around to be bored to death. I dont find a community like this worth saving.

Yeah dude, you are totally saving the game by trying to convince people who like the combat system that it needs to change for the game to succeed. There are many people on these forums who have played all sorts of MMO's and plenty of them enjoy the combat system in this game. I have personally played 6 MMO's other than this one and have no problems with the combat of this game. I must be a FF fanboy cause I completed one FF game and played FF11 while enjoying this games combat system.

I could see the PvP possibly not being amazing in this game but for me I could care less about PvP in MMO's. PvE works great IMO.

You never played WoW or you are really bad... possibly both.
