Button Bloat: Data for discussion

[Shurrikhan]

It baffles me how easy it would be to cutdown on Paladins button Bloat without even needing to change anything fundamental about the job

Abilities Such as FOF/Goring exist for no reason as they're just Burst buttons which Req/Confiteor combo. Circle of Scorn is just a random boring ability mainly meant for APM, Holy circle could also become a Cleave attack thats casted on the enemy meaning Spirit could be removed.

Abilities Such as Holy Shelton/Intervention, could be merged into one button, Just make holy Shelton targetable reduce it's CD, Have a special condition that you *cannot* reapply it's effect while under holy Shelton's effect.

Cover, Clemency and Shield Bash Could obviously be removed, but I rather rework them to be less Situational, as of now they do need more justifiable reason to stay though (Shield Bash mostly)

I feel like yeah the rework was a step in the *right* direction, but it's just led to the job to have more clearly redundant DPS abilities that I would much rather have something that im actually going to use more then one minute with my burst, aka goring/fof.

I do miss old Goring (though I'd revise its interaction with BoV DoT, if that's retained), and I'd prefer a Req that isn't just a second oGCD-weave cost of FoF so I wouldn't ideally want a prune job to be dependent on removing those buttons, but yeah... these seem reasonable. Getting under 32 total buttons (including Sprint and Tincture) is a stretch, but getting under 36 would be a good goal. If Req and Goring aren't going to be desynced from FoF, then it makes sense to consolidate at least one of those out of costing a button, and there is literally zero cost to consolidating Shelltron and Intervention and just applying IV's bonus to the self-targeted effect as well.

10/10.

For Clemency and Shield Bash, I'd love to see a proc that allows them to be used oGCD, and for Shield Bash to gain conal AoE fall-off and to suppress the target's damage [halved on others] to be dealt in the next 4 seconds (thereby being [decreasingly] wasted if the stun goes through, but offering some sort of vs. bosses usage (as a stop-gap until CC as a whole system can be revised to not be a waste of bar-space in most content).
