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

[Moods]

Some of us actually like the way the combat is, ofcourse I respect everyones right to their oppinion, just thought I would say i prefer it the way it is.

I love the current pacing of combat.

Combat still too slow for me. I want a shorter Global Cooldown!

Fixed.

Please do not presume to speak for me.

I don't like certain skills sharing GCD or not being able to pop certain abilities that have short durations but complement each other due to the animations. But for the most part the combat is pretty quick, a little too quick for my tastes. I can never type anything because I always have another skill to hit for my combos, or a stun to do.

Stun abilities really need to be off the GCD; as it is, in serious fights, you have to designate somebody not to use abilities so that he's always ready to stun.

there's been several occasions where i don't need to use anything between gcds and have typed a whole sentence. well, you all are slow, i guess they won't speed up the game to cater to you. really a shame they will hold back the game for dumb, slow people.

i guess if they put the gcd to 5 seconds and cut the amount of utility abilities in half that would make the game even more "strategic" lol

if you want to TYPE while you are "FIGHTING" then modern MMORPGs arent for you, try some turn based games or something.....

going off of what you said and im gonna use Gla that has cure set. Who thought itd be a good idea for cure and tp/def moves to be on the same timer?

Disagree, learn to weave in your abilities not tied to the GCD at the right times and you'll find you'll mostly always have something to be pressing. I actually like how it is a lot, feels more Final Fantasy.

Edit: As a side note, when's the last time you played an MMO with such detailed and fleshed out combat animations? I like being able to watch them instead of staring at my hotbar.

I'm assuming you didn't mean to sound like a pompous dick by not using the phrase "try to", assuming that I don't know to weave skills.

I do weave them between my skills, but as a tank I try to maximize them as much as possible, since every little bit counts. Especially when I am currently hitting 3 or more of them at the same time. Fight or flight, convalescence, bloodbath, and possibly keen flurry or a defensive skill like ramparts to keep my HP a little bit more manageable during boss fights. I try to mash them as quickly as possible to continue the speed of my combo to ensure that I never lose hate. It's not a horrible thing to deal with, but just more of an inconvenience. Especially with all the rage against crappy tanks; I'd rather not suck.
