My biggest gripe with FF 14 so far is the god awful 2.5 gcd and some useless abilities that serves no purpose at all (blizzard II dont even root anymore, so why woulld i have on my bars? Seriously?). i have fear of the ability bloat, one of the things i hated about swtor was exactly that back in the day, i hope i dont find that on FF 14 as a black mage at least.
Another thing that pisses the shit out of me, is the lack of visuals to indicate when you get a proc. omg your thunder dot procced a free thunder spell. Where's the warning? Waayyy down there at the bars instead of giving us something more...reliable...like idk, fingers of frost warning when you get the proc? You know, something more visual to let you know you got the proc?
Dont get me wrong, to me FF 14 is fun, im having alot fun exploring and with the story quest, but at least as of now, the game lack so many of the QoL changes that WoW did and keep doing, i am not really seeing all the hype about the game or being the "god sent mmo that is mile ahead of WoW"
I hope the pace change once i get more levels, because it almost making me throw my keyboard at the window when i get a free instant spell and then cant go back to cast my channeling spells because im locked on the GCD.
