Long story short, I've got some friends that will be missing a player soon and they want me to play and they are at level 15.  What kind of character is not overwhelmingly complicated at level 15 that I may be able to quickly and easily grasp how they work and what they should do? Thanks for any help.

The simplest class is the Slayer, followed closely by the Knight. I would likely put the Hunter, Scout, Cavalier, and a bunch of others tied at third.

What Frothsof said, plus if you need a leader warpriest is pretty simple.

Archer Ranger and Dual Wielding Ranger is probably another near brain dead class...and at the same time, the one that have the highest damage dealing capability

I would second Twin-strike Ranger or Slayer as two very good options.  It would help if we knew what your party was so we could give more specific advice.

Its all relative.  4e doesn't have wizards with spellbooks that are literally 100 pages long at higher levels.  But a Level 15 Rebreather is a whole different level of complexity from a level 15 Slayer.

imo, a scout is simpler than a twin-strike ranger. all you do is basically twin-strike every round, but you arent forced to make as many other choices. the scout is actually pretty fun for a one shot imo.

You changed your avatar.

I don't like it.

I no longer like you.

(Also the scout is a good starting character, but I don't recommend most essentials classes unless it is a one shot as I find them boring).
