How many skills is too many?

[Shurrikhan]

WHYYYYY do so many people want this to turn into WoW simplicity of pressing the 4-5 skills... and thats it.

If the game ever turned into that crap that is the WoW skill system (3-4 skills, 2 situationals, 2 buffs) I'd quit on the spot and be very sad.

This game is great because of the complexity of the combat system - I agree that some skills are not needed.. but making it simple and pressing 1-4 for your entire life is absolutely ridiculous and needs to be removed from all MMO's for the laziness of development.

I do not know, especially considering you can have fewer keys still, yet have more abilities and consequent complexity.

I'd be hard pressed to call XIV combat complex, to be honest—my rotations are frequently longer, more nuanced, and more reactive in games that have 12 keys—but it is a step up from many Legion classes.
