Things I Do Not Like About Inquisition Combat

It triggers combo when you hit frozen target with long shot when you activate flask of frost and freeze it.
You obviously don't know how combo mechanics work; what skills are primers and what are detonators.

You freeze target with flask of frost skill (freeze it entirely, not just chill it). Target who are immune to freezing can't be frozen, just chilled, targets who are not immune will be frozen immediately. You can trigger shatter combo with long shot only by hitting frozen targets, not chilled.
This is just in this specific case, there are more primers and detonators; every class have them both.

And you have to find some recipe for it, and materials, and craft it, while the spell is in the spellbook from the get go and will upgrade in a good time as you level up and there are versions of them that you can use depending on the circumstances, HoT, AoE or burst heals, ads well as your wards. Also, HoK only heals the character that kills the target, not the characters that NEED it.

Is it that hard to understand what I want? Not what you like, but what I want?

I. Simply. Want. Healers. Back.

I Do. Not. Want. To. Craft.

I have never tried CoD, but Crafting has only become a large part of BioWare game in mid two thousands because, I assume it was popularized by Betshada or maybe to address complaints that credits/gold just piled up. In the old games all gear came from what you've killed, and I like it this way. I find crafting/gathering really boring and prefer to reduce my difficulty setting and just play the game in gear drops. I crafted a bow a couple times in Inquisition because there is nothing really good, and that's more than enough for me.

Overall, I prefer less inventory/junk/consumables busy games with less elaborate builds, so, yeah, I like DA2, ME2/3 and MEA way more than DA3. And I could not stand the two Betshada games I tried with the incessant picking junk, recycling it, and crafting galore. It's just not my thing. I like adventure, picking favourites, relationships, descisions, cool animations and thrill, not artisanship and off-line study and copying or crunching numbers.

So, yeah, I am happier in SP games where I can drop the difficulty and don't have to worry about gear. And I don't like being forced to craft because I can't have a healer.

It's not about managing the game, it's about wanting something that I like.

But I have decided to stop playing it anyhow, so I just hope they will bring real healing back and cut back on the crafting in the next game & make it overall more exciting to play.

OMG, UNINSTALLING.

Sigh.

My biggest gripe with Inquisition combat is that even the most mundane battles take forever. Enemies have huge health bars which not only make combat slow but also make it seem as if I'm not doing anything: whether special abilities or auto-attack, nothing seems to have much of an effect.

I miss the days when I would face a mage, think "oh #@%*," and see my entire party die in mere seconds because the asshole cast Inferno. Those were the days.

I had my first playthrough with a mage and it was ok on normal. I struggled with some of the dragons, but nothing major. I didn't bother much with crafting, except for my mage.

But now I'm playing with a rogue and the game is getting damn hard since the beginning, not sure why. I just faced some red templars in crestwood and the party consumed 7 potions in just this one fight. Blackwall almost died, and that guy is a walking tank. Trying to aim as a rogue is quite difficult, because the skill animations are very clumsy. Also, micromanaging all the time is quite boring, but if I don't do it, mages will waste the barrier.
And I also have this trouble with companions just freezing. I'm there fighting and I think they're just behind me and then I look back and they're STANDING AROUND DOING NOTHING. Maybe I didn't have this problem before because I was attacking ranged?

I miss healers too. I hate when companies try to enhance difficulty by REMOVING CONTENT. It's just dumb.

My party is me - Blackwall - Dorian - Vivienne

But the game already had potions before, so you can't really say healing transformed in something if it already existed, LOL. Not only they took away healing as a magic, but they limited the healing potions.
And no, my trials are all off. I noticed it's happening mainly with the group warrior, and I found a lot of people with the same issue. It seems a work around is to assume control of the warrior and then jump, and then he'll come back to normal, but still it's pretty dumb. 

That's another problem of Inquisition: It greatly diminished tactics. I can't just put "cast wall of fire when enemies are aligned" or "use mind blast if surrounded", I have to micromanage all the time because I can't give these kind of orders anymore. 

But "normal healing" was pretty much all that was left. These "regeneration" healings had already disappeared in DA2. Now we don't even get normal healing spells. It's stupid storywise too, because people still talk about "mage healers", but no mage can actually heal, LOL.
