Combo Action Button

[Sigma-Astra]

Maybe an actually functional version of that Freeze spell you keep insulting people for possibly having on their bars?

Well, it's not so much of an insult as it's just common sense to not put something on your hotbar that fundamentally has no use or reason to be there in the first place. But, thanks for regurgitating again what I already said in the following paragraphs of my previous response, so I'm not entirely sure why your passive aggressive snippet above was even necessary. Any person who actually mains BLM competitively or smart would not have it on their bar, the same can be said for people who main Monk and their grievances with the ability One Ilm Punch.

So, we should fix spells the spells that currently make space an non-issue (because, to take your advice, just don't bind them), but not also make space for them after doing so, despite it costing absolutely nothing to make that space?

You can have both, you realize? You can have functional abilities and a non-redundant button-space. They are not mutually exclusive.

We should fix the spells that we have problems with first, then after doing so, we can re-evaluate if we still need the additional space since BLM has no button bloat at the moment to speak of like Seraphor had said earlier.

The higher number of skills we might receive in Shadowbringers or the following expansion if button bloat is less of an issue...

And addressing both of your complaints in one shot, we don't know what or how many skills we may be getting, if they even feel like adding new abilities with the next expansion, so why are we jumping the gun and getting paranoid about something that's still a year or so away. I can see focusing on the jobs that absolutely might need some skill pruning now, but we don't really need to waste additional time on jobs that haven't reached that threshold yet either.

Reduce the bloat on jobs that may already have it, and then focus on re-working skills that are useless now, so they're not still useless when the next expansion rolls around and we're left at square one still.

Just because some jobs may need it, doesn't mean we need to suddenly enforce the policy on all jobs at once.
