also, since when does spamming buttons every half a second mean more difficult game play? Common sense tells you otherwise.
making CA and Spells worth more by combining them, just makes it more meaningful and gives timing of CA's more important. CA will use more power and have longer timers,,,this opens up more strategy.
why people say less ca is dumbing down the game, they just have no clue, you still have the same abilities you just have to be more careful when and where to use em. EQ2 players been conditioned that whack a mole is hard----when all the facts point to the opposite is true

The reason Eq1 is more "hardcore" is simply that the game is harder, encounters are generally well thought out and dynamic. The way SOE has designed this game is that to get the most out of your character you have to intelligently spam. If the reduce that and dont balance it out with the other aspects of the game its gonna blow. Encounters are easy as fuck atm which is what we are all basing stuff off of, so unless SOE really increases the dynamic output of their encounters than spell consolidation would just make fighting easy encounters even easier. But dont worry, no matter how easy they make it you will still suck at your class and there is basically zero ways to consolidate the assassin class without losing something.
