    This what we need bosses with 1 to 10? skills that the boss uses randomly instead of what we have now were he uses the same skills in the exact same order and to add "difficulty" they turn this game into a stupid dexterity check.
    Yup, sick of Bosses where we have to fight as if it were dance steps. Of course, SE also needs to rethink the dodge/player check mechanics to compensate for players with reasonable latency issues. Its fine to check skills at 0.3333 sec intervals, but position check still at least be 3 times faster, especially since the monsters dont naturally follow the GCD rules.

    Yeah that and the bots and lack of things to do right now is why the wife and I haven't subbed yet even though we both bought the CE. We hope they will fix the dodge mechanic and at least fix the 300ms checks. Just that would more than likely see us sub to the game. As it is now though I can't help but feel like they want me to play like this
