    It's normal content. If you want to be engaged and use your kit, you are free to overkill it. It's never going to be challenging the way you seem to want it to be though, because it has to be easy for the people who only play for the story.

    If you want to be engaged, then be engaged. If you need something external to push you to engage, maybe it's a you problem like I keep saying. Just because it's not necessary, doesn't mean you can't do it. The onus is on you in regular difficulty content. There's nothing stopping you from pushing more buttons. It's actually good practice for content where you actually need to rely on the full kit, because you aren't stressed out when executing in regular content.

    Always something external to blame huh?
    That’s the entire point, the jobs are so barebones and streamlined there is nothing “more” for me to do beyond zerging mindless content because the jobs ceilings are on the floor. SCH literally has 1 AOE that’s not AOW; and it’s locked behind a two minute CD. How am I supposed to do “more” than pressing one single AOE button; sure I can use some of my heals as if the damage put out by enemies actually mattered. But you are maybe the only person I know who pressing soil for the mitigation when the mitigation was never needed in the first place counts as engagement

    This is why job complexity is more important than encounter complexity. Because job complexity allows you to choose how much you want to engage with any level of content difficulty. Rather than just telling anyone who doesn’t have an aneurism trying to figure out what pot of greed does to play extreme or get lost

    If you want super simple play a simple job in simple content, if you want something in the middle try to optimise a complex job in simple content or play an easy job in hard content, if you want a super challenge then play a hard job in hard content. Right now 1 and 3 are your only options
