I have a learning disability so learning and executing static rotations well in harder fights is difficult for me. playing anything outside of healers felt weird & awkward. but then I started playing black mage and everything suddenly made sense. things clicked from the start and I loved how fluid everything was. having a simple but flexible tool kit that changed depending on the encounter not only made things easier for me but brought depth that made things so fun. I loved getting a feel for the way the job worked on my own such as timers and mp regen ticks and what worked where, and it was easy for me to casually freestyle it effectively. I went from being made fun of by friends for doing so little damage on something like DRG or RDM to them being amazed at how good I was at this job they thought was so hard. and I was so confused because it felt like the easiest dps job in the game to me.

the changes making the job play more like a static rotation scare me. I don't know how much impact they will have but they feel like a step in the wrong direction and eat away at the unique job playstyle. I know im probably not like most players but I hope my experiences show that its not always good to have jobs work similarly.
