    You just used that term very wrong, also, if the fights arent regarded as complex, then why is the failure rate in coil so high for FF14 playerbase, also your talk about using CC in fights is deemed a harder thing to do, its not, its easy and it also makes the fights so much easier then it needs to be, you literally stop a mechanic instead of dealing with it directly and how it interacts with other parts of the fight. You obviously have no end game experience with tight mechanics if this is your opinion.

    Lets give Sleep from BLMs as an example, not a boss fight, but its the most apparent to give, before the first boss in WP, mass pulling all the mobs and then sleeping the pack and just killing the tonberry is much easier then having to kill everything on the way as this opens up the doorway to the boss and you can lock out the remaining mobs out.

    In Rift, 20 man raids support was needed, Bard buffs made a huge difference, plus Chloro buffs. But, with 5 man content where you qued heals, tank, 2xdps plus support, if you qued as support and stayed as support, you would be a detriment, "support" switched to DPS inside. Which would be the exact same in FFXIV if they enforced a support role in dungeons.

    Also with Rift, when I was raiding I'd switch souls during the run For trash i'd switch to Tactician, for one boss I'd switch to Assassin, and for others 61 Bard and still pump out respectable DPS whilst maintaining buffs.

    To be fair, pure support is a dead system, starting dieing when Mezzers CC abilities got divided amongst other classes.
