Suggestion to prevent Hotbar explosion in 4.0.

Actually instead they should make another promotion class with all new skills, since it already has that in the game.

Gladiator > Paladin > New job class

Have old paladin saved for old macros and old content while your new job is for high level junk.

Though what I would love SE to do is let just change jobs in dungeons if they are in the same job class.

Example would be.

Paladin can change to warrior or dark knight since they are all tank classes but cannot change to anything else or cannot change if the level isn't high enough for that dungeon.

or

Just make add onto the existing abilities and skills and make new animation like a upgrade to your weapon skills and abilities but in old content new stuff is locked and do old animation and what it used to do.

A promotion class is not a bad idea but maybe people wouldnt like to be forced to play that promotion class in endgame and play rather the beloved class. Also it may not work very well from a balance and gameplay standpoint.

I think WAR dealt with the skill bloat the best - Having 2 of the 5 new attacks be only usable in a certain stance so you can replace those with a macro by simply switching your stance.
SMN can do something similar by replacing Ruin with Ruinga during dreadwyrm trance and deathflare (you can easily replace Trance with Flare with a macro too, then turn it back to trance once either 10s are up or you hit the flare button).
I'd like to see new skills though, with some passives along the way cause let's be honest.... having no new skills once you reach 70 is really lame.

Yes i aggree, the game should do this automaticly , shouldnt have to do a macro for it.

We're probably going to get a lot more stances and buffs that create "optional" playstyles, and new abilities limited to those. Sort of like how Warrior received Deliverance in 3.0, with two skills that require deliverance. Warrior went from having one stance to having two.

Bard and machinist now have one stance, and could easily receive "movement" stances with new abilities related to those. That would create the option of stationary dps or movement dps.

Black Mage could receive an alternative to enochain, perhaps one that focuses more heavily on their firestarter and thundercloud procs. Summoner could receive an alternative to dreadwyrm, monk could receive an alternative to their charges (maybe one that works better in mid-combat with off-gcd activation), and so on.

I can't really see them adding MORE to current dps rotations given how complex some of them are becoming, so alternative rotations that are situational makes more sense.

More traits please, and "tweaks".

Tweaks would be things that instead enhance a cross class skill, and add additional effects to it from the job that's using it...so Mercy Stroke for Monk might give 5 stacks of chakra if you time it right for example...and so on and so forth.

Or maybe just give all classes moves like summoner's TriDisaster where it's essentially a combo in one button.

you still need your single dots on the hotbar,
