I just don't understand it. It's so far beyond what I am capable of comprehending as a human, like an alien language. I've heard arguments about wanting to keep some jobs as "brain dead" so they don't have to think about anything when doing their roulettes, but like... If they gave any of the healers a more engaging DPS rotation, and Susan over here is upset because she just wants to one-button-spam and not think about anything, then just do it.

News Alert: Any job can be brain dread if you just do your basic rotation and nothing else. So no, I don't' think we should have jobs where the skill ceiling is still brain dead because every job is brain dead if you want it to be. If you're someone interested in brain dead, you clearly don't care about being optimal anyway, so who gives a rats ass? How does no one understand this?
