Did you played a SINGLE game without cooldowns? Not necessarily old school RPG's. On Dragon's Dogma, most MAgick Bow skills are situational. ricochet hunter for eg can be deadly on CQB vs living armor but useless in a open field VS a thunder dragon.

Still, it doesn't really matter in the end, because D&D is simply not a cooldown-based system, so this puts an end to any irrational concern about it.


Are not baseless claims. All games praised by immersion like Gothic 1/2 has no CDs, all games praised by the combat like Dark Souls and Dragon's Dogma has no CDs. And despite D&D not having CDs, some D&D adaptaions like Dungeons & Dragons Online and Sword Coast LEgends has it. Only RPG games accept this BS mechanic. Contra: Rogue Corps flopped and one reason is the cooldowns on weapons.
