It's Time To Wake up

This doesn't really work though as you don't always want to set these off together, some times you have to space out your cd's or you want to use them in a certain way.

E.g. a lot of Scholars macro Rouse with Whispering Dawn, but sometimes you want to Rouse for single target healing and Whispering Dawn isn't needed and will just slow it down, or you Rouse mid pull and Whispering Dawn would pull aggro before the pull has settled.

Except Rouse and Whispering Dawn don't have the same effect, I was referring to the OP's issue with multiple skills that do the same thing; add a flat boost to x. A Summoner for example will always want Rouse and Spur to line up because they have the same effect, flat damage boost.

"Combos should rotate the ability on a key so precious real estate is saved from all these 123 combos"

Is kind of spoon feeding, it creates no room for error and removes any flexibility from those combos.

Considering that there are very few times in which you want to break a combo in the first place.... there is no flexibility.

I'm also pretty certain that there's very limited error as well. My combos are quite literally, 1, 2, 3/1, control+1, control +2, and 1, 2, control +3.

there's no error there. You just.. don't push the wrong button. Ever.

You can still have combo flexibility even if certain skills share the same key.

1. Heavy Swing (becomes) Skull Sunder (becomes) Butcher's Block
2. Maim (becomes) Storm's Path
3. Storm's Eye

WAR would still have the same amount of combo options, and you'd only need 3 hotkeys instead of 6.
