This is not a criticism of of the game. This is fully my own flaw, I just need to vent about it. Reddit is probably one of the worst places to do that, but... oh well.
There is something about trying to learn a new job in this game that I just really struggle to wrap my mind around. It's fine starting from level one, where I have time to get acquainted with abilities slowly. But trying to learn an expansion class that starts at a certain level has always been overwhelming to me. This ability grants stacks of that. That can only be cast under the effect of this. I find rotation guides similarly difficult to parse. I think it's largely a working memory thing--I read what an ability does and by the time I get a few steps into the guide I've forgotten its name again. I have ADHD and sometimes wonder if there's not something else memory-wise going on. Also due to my shitty memory, if I don't do something consistently, I forget how to do it. So I can fully level a class and feel I understand it well, then stop playing it for a few months and when I come back it's like I'm a complete beginner again.
Of course a simple solution would be to just pick one class and stick with it, but I really want to play through all the sidequests, and that means I need multiple classes to access each expansion's role quests. (In Shadowbringers, there's a bonus quest that unlocks when you play all of them, and I want to find out if that's true of the others.)
If I had infinite money I would just buy level skips to access those quests, but that's not an option for me right now. I'm just feeling down on myself and needed to vent for a moment.
