However some people just can't deal with the cost of failure so they don't do it.
DPS have mechanics they need to do, and buffs/debuffs they need to put on players. The Machinist needs to watch everyone's mana and time disables. The Nin needs to cast goad for tp, etc etc.Â
I actually find tanking/healing easier than DPSing. I can't concentrate on a complicated rotation and still do raid mechanics. DPS is too hard for me!
So it's really the only thing that matters in regards to class strength and ease of use. Square Enix doesn't give a shit how they play at lower skill levels.
Edit: Which is unfortunate at times, because there are some Classes that really only shine at high skill levels, and SE seems not to care about making them more accessible.
