Using shift modifiers I can hit 24 different skills instantly on my game mousing plus the 1-5 keys and still use wasd just fine.

Honestly anymore than that is excessive, which is the case for some classes in FF14 when you include very useful cross class skills. I would be fine if they trimmed some skills to reduce the obvious bloat we have now. Curious what is coming with the combat update.

Of course don't take it to World of Warcraft levels where in the new expansion I couldn't even fill my hotbars, they took so many skills away.
