Anyone else concerned by the extremely low skill ceiling?

I miss the complexity and decision making that went into 4.x BRD. Now the job just feels really bland by comparison. There’s no more considering when and where to double IJ, no more tracking crit buffs to manipulate your Repertoire, no more 2-stack PP gains over the standard 3-stack PP under certain conditions. Even just having the Straight Shot buff I miss—that was outright removed because the developers said some players struggled to press a button every 30 seconds. I miss Foe’s and how it could be paired with/manipulated with Refresh....

BRD received nothing to make up for what it lost, either. Apex Arrow is the worst skill imaginable—I’ve yet to see a BRD actually say they like it. And the sad thing is, is that it really had potential if the starting potency had been 500 at 20 gauge that scaled higher with increased gauge. But, nope. A “press at 100 gauge and no sooner” button is what we ended up with. (And one that has a range of 15y despite our base range being 25y because reasons.)

I don’t think the developers considered the impact simplification could have on those who enjoyed rewarding complexity.
