>>67099750I'm gonna be THAT elitist and say FFXIV's combat was better in HW than it's current flaccid state.
But I will also be contrarian to HW dickriders, it peaked in Stormblood when the annoying shit was cut out but jobs still felt distinct and not overly homogenized. Too much of high end raiding is just "do this exact thing, one way only, perfectly" now.
It sucks that healing is more boring too, but healers were always the worst and they haven't figures out how to make them fun.
I mostly just play for story updates and then do pvp which is somehow more fun and accessible than raiding.
