Button Bloat: Data for discussion

[fulminating]

As far as I'm aware the gcd-frame rate interaction still exists, and buff rippling/travel time definitely does. (Solve (GCD x mod 1)=0 then add 1 to a multiple of whatever that comes up with for a noticeable but still marginal improvement over taking 1 away; eg 61 vs 59 fps at 1.95. I’m not sure optimal drift counts as hyper optimisation.

As I'm commenting again, I'll just mention in passing that I'm mildly horrified anyone is using the word good in the same sentence as current summoner.

:: I'll agree that SMN is unnecessarily button-bloated given that few of its available 'levers' are ever given use cases, but consolidating it further seems a far worse path to take than giving it additional available decisions by adding some available nuance to those currently barebone actions / unnecessary buttons.

Well, that's why I generally don't propose it. It already has little enough to work with. That was more pointing out that even in that case, there's some bloat/excess that doesn't fit the Job thematically and doesn't really alter much.

Subjective things are subjective, I guess..?
