    They are not button bloat if you don't need to use them on the fly. Not everything is just combat and rigid rotations. There's content aside from high end raiding in the game. Many ways that skills are used that go beyond how you play the game that others enjoy. Button bloat is when you have a 30 button rotation where every button uses a different skill or effect. Not skills that are meant to give flavor to the game.

    Just reallized my profil is showing a character I don't even play anymore. Just in case people don't want to take me seriously because I look like a low level andy in my profile. My actual Main character is Seraphina Spears @Hyperion ^ ^ (posting this here cause I have no clue how to change the linked character in my profile. Seems like it's a feature not available to me or something? no clue lolz)

    They need to be on your bar to be used regardless though. That's three spots taken on your bar for no real reason at this point.

    Except, the thing about skills like that, assuming this is at all relevant because you're somehow unable to use cross-hotbars or more than a single modifier key, is that you could just... not put them on your hotbar, all without removing a feature.

    Take Peloton or Sleep, for instance. Zero 8-man combat value. Must we remove those as well just because you can't bother to bind more than some 20 hotbar spaces?

    And in Monk's case the last thing we need is the just-barely-not-situational BS that let to the clunk of Anatman openers and the like, which is about the only historically likely candidate we have for filling those 2 spaces (FoF can be traited and FoE and FoW each made 5% damage reductions, of course).
