XIV EW Job-Gameplay is Terrible... Why?

[Valence]

It turns a bad case of simplicity into something similarly simple, so yes, in vacuum, it dumbs it down even further (kinda feels like subtracting from a null quantity already to me tbh so not completely convinced about the dumbing down part), but besides it, frees up at least 2 or 3 hotbar slots for something else. Something else and new by definition would add more to the job. Will it be diverse and intricate enough? Onus is on the devs to make it so.

I'm a little confused at the will to defend combos (that don't branch or proc) like if it was something actually valuable we want to keep, even at the cost of freeing more room for other things.
