There are so many OGCDs and other things going on between each cooldown, it's not much different from WoW.Â

The sync issues I can't really speak on, because I've never gotten them, even in 2.0 before they fixed the netcode.Â

In anycase the biggest thing I wish FFXIV would take from WoW is itemization. FFXIV has horribly shit itemization, it's so bad that it almost feels like they should make gear cosmetic only. The there is a complete lack of Procs, abilities, or interesting secondary stats. Yoshi-p please.

I was a hardcore raider in WoW. Â I raided in US Top 50 and 30 guilds. Â Even with their fast as hell GCD, I was always looking to get another spell out, as a healer. Â The slow GCD drives me absolutely bonkers.

And I've had sync issues from the beginning that I've never gotten in WoW. Â It got better when they fixed the netcode, but there are still issues.
Have you done progression raiding in FFXIV? Just curious, because I hear this a lot from people who's experience of the game comes from lower and mid tier content.

Part of it is confirmation bias though, because if the GCD bothers people enough, they never get into raiding to start with.

idk I'm doing a6s tomorrow /shrug

I don't like the GCD just because I'm a healer and I can't account for tank's cooldowns/what things people are going to stand in. As a WHM I have.. one mini oh shit button, one big oh shit button and those only work -sometimes- depending on if the server likes me or not. Assize is nice though.

I might be strange, but I actually like the precasts and such.Â

I never raid healed on wow, but there is something about doing it in ffxiv that makes it feel almost like a turn based game. You have to map out a few heals ahead what you plan to do, since if you mess up you might not have enough time to do it.Â

It might just be a preference thing, ffxiv has been the only MMO i've liked the combat enough to actually want to raid.

this made me giggle.WoW vs FF
