Why the GCD Change?

Here's a video from live with reasonably high resolution and buffhead with .1second intervals so you can see exactly how long between each GCD. I didn't see any GCDs firing faster than 1.5s, but you guys can check for yourselves.

Just go play WoW dude. It's fine.

Ironically WoW GCD is 1.5 seconds so this change made the game more like WoW, not less

Most out of touch response of all time, WoWs STANDARD GCD is 1.5 Seconds, however tons of things in WoW Affect GCD speed. Rogues, druids etc all have lower GCD Speeds, theres abilities that vastly speed up your GCD. They have tons of abilities that are off the GCD. They do not effectively have the same GCD Due to the amount of things altering the GCD in that gamea, here its static, and we got nearly no off gcd abilities to compliment the long timer.

Its clear you got no to minimal experience with WoW PvP, or you dabble in it so casually that its something you dont care about just to regurgitate that sentence.

Rogues and cat druids have a 1s gcd. WAR is much more comparable to WoW of its actual era in which you could not actually modify the gcd outside of limited amounts of spell haste on gear in TBC, which still didn't get it down close to 1s except in highly limited circumstances like stacking buffs.

You're like 40 years old man, no point in getting so riled up over something I stated which is factually true. A universal 1s gcd is not similar to WoW's 1.5s gcd just because of some limited exceptions, if anything it would be way better than WoW, not closer to it.
