You have your core rotation, some buffs, some debuffs, some niche utilities, and the rest are mostly circumstantial. While it's true that in some instances, you can pull off a fight using only a small subset of your abilities, but you're exaggerating things by a landslide. I could be wrong, but I get the feeling you've fixed on this idea and just want to complain. I suppose that's fair. We all need to vent every once in a while. Just relax and try to wrap your head around the concept of a toolbox containing things for many applications, despite not needing all of them with every job. Breath, then let it go and enjoy the game. If you cannot do that, there are other games you can try. It's like complaining about McDonalds chicken sandwiches when you can just go to another chain and get one you do like.
I mean, intention to stirr the pot or not, they're not wrong. There's a difference between not needing 100% of your kit for every fight, and 80% of your kit being situational at best. I don't play Savage or EX, let alone Ultimate, so take my opinion with a grain of salt, but as a lv 90 WHM I could do my job properly with ONLY Glare, Holy, lily spells, Assize, and Asylum. Even Benediction and Raise are a "what if" rather than "I NEED these." so roughly 2/3 (or even 3/4) of all my actions are just sitting there collecting dust regardless of what level or type of content I'm doing.
