Cutting the GCD Back

[hurycanlol]

Could you bring back the ability to cut the GCD like before? It made the game a bit more fun and dynamic because it required precise timing around 1.15 seconds. It added some gameplay depth without forcing everyone to use it.

By adding gameplay you mean giving people with better connections an advantage?

or take some things off the GCD like pots, morales (non-damaging), etc.

The healing pots especially feel clunky...

I can agree with that

In my opinion, the game now feels significantly slower. Back when it was possible to cut the GCD to around 1.1 seconds, the pacing felt much more modern and engaging. I understand that this feature likely won’t return, but it’s a real shame it added a layer of depth and reactivity that made the gameplay more enjoyable without being mandatory for everyone.

problem is with increased GCD all casters got huge buff and melee classes nerfed. Playing melee feels so clunky. When I need to wait 1.5 sec to apply witchbrew it feels so stupid.

I think, but am not sure, it is possible to take things off the gcd entirely so I guess verify and make a case?

Yep, it's possible. Pots, morales, and certain abilities were off gcd on live/retail. That's how we dealt with that annoying queue that Max refers to in his post.
