Normalization of GCD time across classes

[-Shiva-]

I don't think anyone is saying they could do this without changing the damage values. Obviously Warriors would have to be weakened and Rogues would have to be buffed to make up for it.

Side note: Riftblade actually has a 4.5 second rotation to get to 3 attack points, thanks to their finishers being OGCD. Likewise, Paragon and Champion get abilities which can let them build to 3 attack points in 4.5 seconds or faster. So Warriors are not necessarily built around having a 6-second rotation. Even Paladin can get an ability which gives attack points when he blocks. The only thing a 1.5 second GCD does is make everything less responsive and less fun.

True, and the guy I quoted even said the same. Gah, I really shouldn't post after just waking up.

I'm not against all callings having a 1s GCD, it doesn't worry me in the slightest. Just as long as the change is done right, something I have very little faith in Trion doing lately.

I think GCD should be based off your weapon choice. 1 second for 1 handers without spell power. 1.5 seconds for 1 handers with spellpower, and 2 seconds for all 2 handers and ranged weapons.

I would like to emphasize, as I already did in the main post, that when I'm talking about the hypothetical idea of 1.0s GCD for all classes, I'm already assuming that classes would need carefully tested, extensive tweaking to damage numbers and to some of their abilities.

The point of this thread is to attempt to get an idea of how many would like the idea of "faster-feeling combat" and how many would be in outrage if such a change occurred.

I am 100% aware that such a change would not be a hotfix and would require an enormous amount of work just to keep from breaking the entire game.
