Since leveling the job a bit and doing some of the dawntrail dungeon/trial content, it's crazy that people want 3 nastronds back. I do think they should remove life surge and add my suggestion, but yeah this job has way too much going on in burst.

The opinions and preferences of veteran players are so out of touch with reality that it's crazy. Given enough practice, everything becomes normal. Should this level of execution be the norm in a video game? No way in hell. You're pushing away new players. It's discouraging and disengagingly overwhelming to approach current job design, and it was even more complicated and busy in endwalker.

In 8.0, I really hope they make serious efforts toward simplification and streamlined job design. It's gone too far, and the people who have stuck around with the game the entire time have no clue what it really feels like. It's all just muscle memory for you after all.
