I don't understand the appeal of TERA's combat system in comparison to GW2's. Been watching some youtube vids and reading some threads but as far as I know:

TERA:

Attacks, skills and spells root you into place

Some of the classes can dodge

You fight over-sized monsters called BAMs which have telegraphed moves

There's a crosshair

Main attack is bound to mouse 1 by default

No tab targeting

GW2:

Most attacks, skills and spells can be used and cast while moving aside from a very small handful of skills that purposely root you in place. Might account for the floaty feeling of combat some people have mentioned

All classes can dodge

Elites don't have easily noticeable telegraphed moves

No crosshair

The "main" attack is set to auto attack by default but can be unset and clicked on to "swing"

Uses tab or click targeting, but anything within reach or in the way of your attack or spell when used will be hit regardless

So aside from the crosshair and lack of tab targeting, what's so great about TERA's combat system in comparison?
