Why All the One-Button Mechanics?

[Shurrikhan]

Every single one of those things apply also to Arm's Length and Surecast. Those skills that are already parts of our kit just don't also require an extra button of (arguably) bloat.


But, again, is that a good thing? Is a "your mistake doesn't matter (as long as you use this otherwise useless thing)" good design?

I'd say it avoids ticking some people off, so yes.

Wait, how is that a decent reason, though?

Having to follow a rotation doubtless ticks some people off. Yet we don't give it a nullification button. Nor, if an ability had been given by which to prevent the need to optimize one's sequence of weaponskills or spells for a time, would we protect it absolutely just as to "avoid ticking some people off."

A fight mechanic bugged and was therefore far easier than it should be, even if only part of the time or under rarely-known conditions? Nope, can't fix that; it might tick some people off.
