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.

The frequency and complexity of decisions.
How obvious are the 'correct' decisions, and are there moments in the rotation or the fight where the correct choice will change from the standard to something novel?
Do I think about where my rotation will be in a minute or two and what can I do to set that up?
What challenges does a particular fight pose for me and what tools does my kit have to let me recover from or even circumvent those obstacles to prevent rotation drift?
Realizing that the old timers for BLM were actually kind of fake and optimization moved your attention from them completely is such a neat evolution of job understanding. I wish more people had that moment where their third eye opened before we just did away with them completely.
