Seriously, I hate it. I hate it so much I almost didn't want to be a mage in ARR. I love, love, love being a sorcerer in TERA. It's so much fun. I love being able to kite so well, and dodge and leap back from attacks. Hell, even WoW and RIFT mages could blink; THM can only do it to a targeted friendly player.
And in my head it seems like weaving incantations, and reinforces the trade offs that come with being a magic user. You want to use dangerous words of power to invoke fire and death? Well you can't be bouncing around like a ninja to do it.

Again, this is very much a 'no accounting for taste' thing. ARR's mechanics just happen to mix well with my aesthetics. It's really interesting just how much mechanics can affect not only the 'fun' of playing, but your sense of the character itself. I did think Neverwinter's combat was fun, just that it didn't feel right for a mage. When I played a rogue though, it didn't feel all that weird at all.
