If you don't mind my asking...
What's your opinion on people being able to move while in combat? I think the thing that bugged me most about EQ and EQ2 is moving was largely detrimental to combat. Wheras in WoW if you're not on the move you're generaly doing something wrong.
I think of the things that endear me most about WoW combat is the FPS appeal to it. Not just because it's fast paced with a hotbar full of insta-casts, but because although you're not forced to move around alot, if you're like me and you like bunny hopping and circle-strafing you're not terribly penalized.
And I don't mean kiting either. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of kiting (used to quad-kite back in Karnor's Castle basement with my wizard, hah, take that dungeons designed for groups!), but it's just not the same.
Basically what I'm saying is having hotbars full of cool abilities is only half the battle. There's a reason FPS's are succesful despite players only having basically 1 major ability (shoot). It's because moving around during combat is as much if not more appealing then having a multitude of attacks available to you.
The video does look nice though for what it is.
