So... This is the "improved encounter design"?

Ehh, spec optimizations lack the easily conveyable rigid patterns of XIVs and APLs are generally unconditional and therefore oversimplified and so WoW specs will generally appear less complex, but as soon as one gets into adaptive and preemptive management, the complexity for fully optimization easily and greatly exceeds XIV's for most jobs/specs. And many of the mechanics are still plenty complex, just not necessarily from a DDR perspective.

Sometimes outside of the crazy apm, not gonna lie, I feel that I have more of a wow player profile in spite of being absolutely unwilling to get into it.
