I mean, my issues are not so bad that the game is unplayable. But I recognize that consolidating buttons would exponentially increase the ease of use.

Because of how often action buttons are pressed in combat, that immediately necessitates that any actions used as part of combos go on to the Primary hotbar. So for most melee that means 40% - 50% of my primary bar has to be populated by the these combos.

For the most part my Cross Hotbars are populated by my CDs and weaves, and to keep it simple across all jobs I try to separate each side of the cross hotbar into defensive and offensive so it's easier to remember.

However that means for the most part my W Bars get the panic buttons, because they aren't pressed as often... but there's also a 50% chance that it won't appear so eh...


At any rate, consolidating the combos would mean I could promote some of my weaves and CDs from the cross hotbar to the primary bar so I could 1) get to the buttons faster and easier and 2) in theory, use them more often since the icons will be more visible to me so I'll know when they come off CD.
