Wow IS the reason why players have to stare at their ability tool bar and watch for flashes and cooldown in mmorpg nowaday. Unless you can provide me the name of the mmo that requires ppl to do that pre-wow?

And then that new combined attack should be removed entirely?

And I recall a similar refresh mechanic in SWG. So no. WoW not the first. Although like so many other aspects, you could say WoW 'perfected' the need to watch your skill bar.

havent had any problems with number of abilities . Seems about equal to WoW. Mayb a bit less than rift. Definetly less than Vanguard, way less than EQ I use the same keybind set up I always have. 10key area all bound , keys surrounding the standard asdw movement keys are bound and all numbers across the top. Have 24 total abilities bound to the keyboard and I use them all at some point. Feels familiar to every other game i've played , except a bit faster in swtor.

This is in part due to effort from the user as well, how you rotate etc. F off with the stupid maybe next year crap , getting tired of the reflex cynicism

Guild wars 2 is going to change that tho Guild Wars used that system, where you pick a few abilities when you go into an instanced area. It sucks TERRIBLE. It's actually the only reason I will NOT be playing GW2: b/c they are using the same system. I don't mind limited abilities, but I mind NOT being able to use everything my class knows.
