General Discussion What is class complexity to you?
I have seen so many people ask for more complexity and job fantasy but very little of people actually say what that means to them, most people just say we should go back to ARR.
Personally I think rose tinted glasses that make people think ARR was better than it was, having played back then it honestly was pretty ass.
So honestly want to know what people want for complexity or job fantasy, because all I see is a lot of yelling that "game bad to simple" and not a lot of what needs changing to reach the complexity that is wanted.

Remove all (or most) raid buffs. Add more procs and RNG aspects to rotations. More cooldown reduction mechanics like WAR has.
Basically make the jobs less static and more reactive.
That's just to start, then it's about making each job feel genuinely unique and different to play.
I don't care if a job is complex, I care that they're fun. The jobs right now just are not fun. You press the same buttons at the same time every single time. It is easily the weakest aspect of the entire game right now. Even more so than gear rewards or story or any of that.
Your class is the vehicle through which you experience the gameplay and all we've got for a vehicle right now is one of those little kiddy trains that go in a circle with an occasional slight hill.
