Why its hard to play ff14

You picked a job with probably the simplest rotation in the game—mind you, BLM rotation may be simple but it makes up for it in that you have to really know a fight to know where you can stand to perform your turret role, but that’s beside the point.

Try doing this comparison with a busier job like BRD or NIN or SMN.

I could have done ninja bard or anything. the point was that the rotation never changes from one encounter to the next in any real way. sure bard might have a couple of extra pitch perfects or blood letters here and there but the basic rotation never really changes...

Ninja is what.. suiton > spinning edge > gust slash > shadow fang > spinning edge > gust slash > trick attack > aoelian edge.... (might be different I dont play nin so much since servers moved and lag made it horrendous.) but every boss you fight its the exact same rotation... thus boring

Lol! Just like every other game. You push the buttons in the best order you know to push them. Would you prefer your hot bar to randomize every tick?

Combat is faster-paced at level cap. Add in the mechanical dance from higher tier content, it's far from boring, in my opinion.

But if you're looking for a job where you can YOLO a rotation, I don't think you'll find it in this game.
