The direction the devs been taking when it comes to job design has been one of my biggest fears for a while (drk main), and now it has become almost like an anxiety.

Since HW, the jobs seems to have only gotten easier and less complex with each expansion. That in itself is not a bad thing, since there were many elements that were needlessly complex but I’m scared that we are reaching a breaking point. How much simpler can jobs be at this point?

The official reason for removing kaiten is to reduce button bloat, but I can’t be the only one who thinks it’s a terrible idea to mess with a core rotational ability when we have shoha 2 as a separate ability. They removed seigan and merciful eye to reduce ability bloat only to add two new buttons and now we’re back at square one.

It honestly feels like the ability bloat is just an excuse to further simplify the job and now I’m just worried for every other job that might get gutted in the same way.
