    As a fellow controller user, no, no you do not need to chose which abilities you can use and what ones you don't. You should be able to fit every skill for a job onto your cross bars and use them smoothly in combat. It is more on SEs end and really not you. Open your character config menu, go to Hotbar settings then to the custom tab. Make sure Enable expanded controls with L2+R2 is checked as well as Enable WXHB with simultaneous L2 and R2 double tap. This should give you about 40 slots to put actions in. so now you can bring up set 2 cross bar (or you can change what cross bar set the L2+R2 and R2+l2 will bring up) with holding L2 then R2 that will bring up one half of set to. holding R2 then L2 brings up the other half. With WXHB enable you can double tab L2 to bring up 4 boutons (again you can set which cross bar set it will bring up in the same window as enabling the WXHB) and double taping R2 will bring up another set of 4 buttons.

    What I do is my rotation and most used Ogcds, and potion goes on set 1 the my main set. Then my aoe skills, and my OCGDs that are on longer cool downs go on set 2 cross bar that I bring up with the L2+R2 and R2+L2. Then my sprint, role actions go to the double tab R2/L2 set.

    You wouldn't see people eating as many mechanics that's for sure. Too many deaths? Wipe because you can't meet the enrage timer.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Raising is just fine how it is. Sure, don't need them to make it worse.

    Go into your settings menu and learn how to use e.g double taps for extra bars properly, console users have enough space without needing to resort to ignoring abilities.

    God this... if you're "choosing" stuff to leave off your hotbar then you're not using it to its fullest potential. You have a total of 48 abilities that you can easily get to without needing to switch hotbars, there's no reason why you would need to leave stuff off of your hotbars.


    As for the OP; I don't see the freedom of using Swiftcast as a big enough gain to make a change like this that would ultimately make the game less interesting.

    Is SMN going to swiftcast one of the 2 casts every 2 minutes?
    RDM is still going to Swiftcast to fish for procs
    Are healers going to Swiftcast their damage spell....once?

    Nope. I like being forced to think about incoming mechanics that could interfere with a potentially fight-saving hard rez cast.

    This would remove that, and people would argue more about how x shouldn't have been rez'd over y.

    I would love it. In one condition its on dps. Healer can still have the cast one.
