Why your combat Slogs

You haven’t set the epectations with your players
Because you’re building combats and not encounters
You haven’t red shirted it - you’re not familiar with the baddies or the mechanics
You as aren’t taking advantage of all 4 of the Pillars of DMing
The party doesn’t want to do a combat.
You don’t know how to make the combat intense
Phones are at the table
You make it go on too long
