Why wasn't Heavy Thrust merged into Impulse Drive?

[kattzkitti]

For some reason they removed the DoTs from most of the classes because it was 'busywork' you had to maintain even though it had a role in AoE DPS that required judgement, yet kept all of the 'pure busywork' damage boost skills like Heavy Thrust and Hot Shot that have no function other than being a button you must press every X seconds, or lose a chunk of your DPS.

The mind boggles...

To be fair, Hot Shot would require a ton more work than just "remove button, put effect on something else" or whatever. It's tied into just about every single MCH job quest, they'd have to completely rework the entire questline from the ground up. Still isn't a button that should exist anymore though.

Monk still has Twin Snakes buff as well. I feel like Monk would be boring if they took out Dragon Kick, Twin Snakes and Demolish.

Twin Snakes isn't a random button, it's part of their buff/debuff combo. MNK also has a completely different button setup/design, so isn't really directly comparable.
