Its ffxiv combat really so slow and boring?

Bad MNK confirmed.

You already have an on-demand stun (Shoulder Tackle and Leg Sweep) and a good, respectable player who plays monk....would never want nor care about putting that skill on their hotbar ever, even during a consolidation theory. Most pretend it doesn't even exist.

You sticking up for One Ilm Punch as a needed ability is absurd, but I needed a good laugh I suppose...

The consolidation theorists have turned something that's generally muscle memory which isn't hard to do if you map out your hotbars in a smart way into and instead, a memory game of what button turns into what and when.

You made something already basic and easy to see and process into a convoluted maze for no reason. So, instead of seeing threads about button bloat, we'll see threads about why this ability turns into this and so on and so fourth. You're getting rid of what you perceive is a problem by making another problem on top of it.

This "Foul turns into Flare when under AF, Freeze when under UI, and stays as Foul when neither" is stupid. I should be able to use either of those skills (maybe not Freeze though) without things turning into one another at my will and leisure. I don't need button consolidation for my job and the theorists are fools if they think it would be an optional system put into place or that they won't do it for every job.
