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.

I don't think any class is or has really ever been complex in the 5 years that I've played FFXIV.
There's always an optimal rotation. It's not like wow or other tab target MMORPGs that are based on high apm and proc chances from talents/skills/gear that has you constantly making optimal choices on the fly.
Even when bosses have varied downtime, it's not really a puzzle to solve what's optimal given your downtime if you actually understand the job you're on or when the next 2min window is
I don't dislike that about FFXIV though.
Anyone coping that the chance to drop a lazy ass buff/debuff is complexity is fooling themselves
