Hotkey Bloat

[Rosenstrauch]

I can't actually recall if Dancer combos are interrupted if you use the proc immediately, but if they are, then the order of using the skills has to be Combo > Proc.

The Dancer combo is only interrupted if you start the opposite combo, ie switching from the ranged combo to melee, or melee combo to ranged. Your procs don't interrupt your combo, and neither does Saber Dance.

That said, while there might not be no downside to dropping the weaponskill procs, shoving Fan Dance III into Fan Dance I+II's button would be a bad idea. The reason being that while Fan Dance I and II have a shared cooldown, Fan Dance III does not. If Fan Dance III replaced I+II when it procced, it would also have to go on cooldown at the same time, making it harder to double weave.

Also, considering how tight Dancer's burst phase can be, there may not be any benefit to actually doing this. It's not as if freeing up 4-5 hotkeys will necessarily free up space in your rotation for brand new weaponskills or abilities, since Dancer wants to save their Esprit Gauge and Fan Dance stacks for Technical Step.

This much is not a problem, actually. Actions that share a button need not have the same cooldown. See: Nastrond and Gierskogul
