do you guys think theyll keep adding new skills in future expansions?

What I'd like to see are things like Ruin III replacing Ruin I during Dreadwyrm Trance, or Fire IV/Blizzard IV replacing Fire III and Blizzard III respectively while Enochian is up.

I'd *love* to free up some keybinds. Controller space is also at a premium here, as they don't just use those bars for abilities, and I don't/can't use an MMO mouse so I'm pretty much limited to 10 buttons I can comfortably hit without drastically altering my keybindings.

As it is, I click CDs when I DPS.

The only thing I want right now to clean up hot bar space is to make it so the hot bars switch if I enter a stance/ For example, if I switch to Cleric Stance then hotbars one and 2 will then get replaced with the damage spells and then switching back out brings the healing spells back.

Macros won't help in most cases because they suck in this game. Yes there will be more skills (literally every mmo gets new abilities added eventually), just see WoW as a reference for what will happen once abilities get too bloated.

I think we will able to use macro for some set of rotation.
One button for few skills.

Not until they make the wait timers more flexible and allow queueing them.

Dunno what the fuss is, i've only got 3 hotbars filled with skills on PS4 depending on class, so technically still have 5 hotbars free for new skills
that 80 new skills that can still be added before I run out of space :P

There is already replacement skills. Like you can replace broil with ruin as scholar, stone 2 can be replaced with stone 3 as whm, malefic can be replaced with malefic 2 as astro. I see no point of using those previous versions anymore.

When you do Low Level Roulette, you will need those lower level skills for the dungeon runs, or you will be SOL. I learned that the hard way when I took out Ruin and replaced it with Ruin II, and couldn't attack anything other than using enfeebling abilities.

Efficient for damage, yes. Still more costly however, because you're using more MP in the same timeframe.

It's 88 more mp. If that's gonna really push you into going oom, then you shouldn't be dpsing. If you're talking about spamming, then you should spam stone3 until it's not safe anymore rather than spamming stone 2 for slightly longer, because stone 3 is a better damage to mp ratio - assuming you spend the same amount of mp stone 2 will have done less damage. Stone 2 is actually just useless outside of level sync.

Stuff they can do imo is add a new skill option interface:

- allow linking of two self buffing ogcds that will show both halves of the icon on one slot (or what's available) and triggers the skill based on priority or what's available without having the queue penalty
- allow combining of combos into one button (you select in the menu what the order of the combo, game gives you the special icon, place it on hotbar). basically you can concise heavy, brutal, butcher, maim, storm eye, storm path into 3 buttons.

Yeah, this sounds too convenient for some people maybe but it's just a suggestion. I could do much more complex stuff on wow but eh, that was before the skill pruning they had in cata.

Next expansion it wouldn't surprise me if they only increased level cap by 5 (like they did with FFXI after the first Japan-only expansion increased it to 60).

I'm hoping that if they do new abilities that it's only traits. Skill bloat can get out of hand.
