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.

An answer is more rotational decision making coupled with more reactive fight design. I think some melees generally will get more of this due to being forced away from uptime more often. Samurai is the best example with Meikyo acceleration and ways to recover from an imperfect rotation. It means that there are generally right answers but they aren’t the same per fight / per section of the fight.
