(Most) of WoW's classes are more complex than the jobs here. With more buttons to boot. I wish they would.

Hate threads like this because they always lead to homogenization and classes becoming even more braindead than they already are.

I don't know about this. When I played Prot Warrior my hotbar consisted quite literally to 6 buttons. This was during Cataclysm also.

Shield Block
Devastate
Revenge
Cleave
Thunder Clap
Shield Slam

Funny thing was...this WAS way more engaging then a 2 min opener rotation. Maybe because in WoW you could literally min-max your % based stats like dodge, block, parry, evade to help proc your skills/talents that added a ton of value to encounters.

Those were the main buttons you hit that generated the most agro, and the job was STILL incredibly complex with fight mechanics, positioning, and resource management.

But then again WoW was WILDLY imbalanced as where this game is literally the opposite of that.

I'm a fan of traiting skills as you level to make new and interesting job mechanics. It may be a tad peace meal like BLM or DRG, but at least your not saying "Where the hell am I going to put that on my already crammed hotbar?"
