    That was very true with HW DRG, not so much now, i'm afraid OP isn't going to find any job that hasn't been simplified, someone talked about Bard and Dancer, if you want procs and priorities to bring some variations, then maybe you should take a look at them

    DRG now is a bit more spammy for a lack of a better word. Somewhat fun and in my opinion an improved version of Stormblood's DRG, but HW's was tricky yet rewarding for good play. Really, REALLY had to get those positionals and not waste time because there was so little room for error.

    To me Dancer is extremely engaging specifically because it doesn't have much to keep track of which lets me do content I might normally be too intimidated to do. That dash is also just...amazing to have.

    Since you're a PLD main maybe try to optimize your job?
    Optimizing can make any job fun in my opinion

    I know you say you're bored, but if you can't stay alive in braindead content because you lose focus, then why should I offer you a job that requires more of it? That's like you crashing a car in a race course, and then I just give you an even faster car in a more difficult course simply because you say the course you crashed is too easy. I can just see all the lols when a player tries to excuse their floor tanking with "Sorry y'all, this shizz is just too easy."

    Anywho, I will give a choice of cars anyway. Basically play any job with a high APM such as AST, SMN, or GNB. Another would be jobs that have you keep track of multiple resources. SAM as an example is considered a really straight forward job, but the skill ceiling with it is quite high. As the easier a job is to play, the easier it is to also screw it up. You have a DoT upkeep, a speed buff, a damage buff, three combo finishers, a job gauge you can easily screw up, burst phases every minute, and a self mitigation tool you should be using every time it's off of CD and you're about to take a hit.

    Best of luck with whichever you choose or find.

    Heres the thing if the job system is so simple minded y care that much about it then it loses your focus ..
    Meanwhile a high complex job keeps the mind enganged in playing..
    While this simple jobs are meha physical muscle memory lol nothing more so thats y lol

    I get it, but again this is not making a strong case for you. How can we assume you care about playing a job correctly when you also don't put any effort into using proper grammar? Does that bore you too, so why even bother? If I took my SAM into the NM raids and don't get touched by anything avoidable while also pumping out max deeps, that would tell me and others that I probably should head into EX or Savage continue to put my skills to the test. If am dropping left and right whether it is because I lose focus, or I am just not that good, then that says I need to stay right where I am at.

    By your standards every job is braindead.

    What does "keep the mind engaged" even mean? Keeping track of things? Pretty much every job has a gauge you need to keep track of, that's nothing new.

    Every job boils down to muscle memory as you need to know where your buttons are and when to press them. The only thing that breaks up your combo's is the enemy doing something that forces you to move- which doesn't change the fact there's still a preferred path to follow in the order you use your skills in.

    If you really want to adapt on the fly, go play... any healer, really. People take enough damage to where any solid plan you might have in your head goes entirely out the window. But that's not to do with any of the three healer jobs' kits, but more on people eating damage they shouldn't be.

    For DPS, Black Mage is the one who needs the most positional awareness as you can pump out a lot of damage given you can keep yourself safe. It has no skills you can cast on the run, save for a really awful one that does barely any damage. This means you need to find spots to stand still in, plant your leylines and prepare to hold fort as you try to get balls deep in your rotation.

    Or do you want to watch for boss tells and react to that? Go tank. Any tank. Everyone gets hit by AoEs, but they're the ones eating single-targets.

    Seriously though, just go try something and stick to it. There's no real point in asking the community to give you something when you're not listening to anything people are saying in the first place, but also, nobody can tell you how a job feels. That shit is a 100% subjective and by your criteria there's nothing to pick.

    Honestly, regardless of the job you pick, you are going to reach a point (well, hopefully at least) where you know exactly what you're doing and your mind will sort of go on auto pilot while muscle memory takes care of the rest.

    Me during an expert earlier:"Hmm...what do I want for dinner this evening?...Tank buster incoming. *uses Nebula* Okay, now where was I...wow this scenery is really neat. Oh, I just noticed everyone here is a Viera but me. Oh well."

    You aren't going to find a job in this game that takes up 110% of your focus once you play it long enough. But if you are going for "busy" anything, Extreme, Savage and Ultimate are a thing.
