I would rather have a group of players playing together than two players playing together, and 3 others sitting back doing nothing but dps. I mean, in WoW, as a dps, all you really did was maybe sheep or sap something, then laid into it with damaging attacks. I like how this game emphasizes buffs/debuffs and synergy between the various abilities different classes have. In WoW I couldn’t lay down a field of fire for a hunter to shoot through and have it affect their abilities. This beats a healer/tank dynamic any day of the week for me.
Using combo fields doesn’t require any thought. You just hit the skills you would normally use when they come off CD. Any combos/finishers are shared by all classes along with buffs/debuffs. How is streamlining every class better?
