Combo Action Button

[Sigma-Astra]

Right. Let's have 6.0 NOT fix Freeze, Scathe, or Fire II, nor replace them with anything more functional. We'll just leave them optional to even keep on your bar, or outright remove them from the game. There. All so that pairs of abilities that are mutually exclusive to each other, and have zero reason to occupy separate slots, can occupy separate slots.

While we're at it, let's remove Upheaval, Shake it Off, and Raw Intuition to return Fell Cleave and Decimate to their rightful places and make it cleanse that muddling bastardization that packed what was clearly two abilities into that single title of Equilibrium -- now called Angry-but-Healthy and Overpower-More, available only in Defiance and Deliverance respectively.

No one is saying to let other issues lie. They're just pointing out that when you can fix an issue -- even a minor one -- at absolutely zero cost, you may as well do it. There is no harm in having the option of two further hotbar slots available. There is benefit, but there is no harm. That's an improvement. Not wasting buttons for zero benefit is objectively better design than wasting buttons for zero benefit.

Congratulations in making a strawman of something I didn't even say and ignore how I've been saying from the very beginning that we should fix those abilities first before deciding that consolidation needs to happen on some skills. Did my sarcasm fly over your head or are you just purposely being obtuse and not really reading anything that I've been saying all along in order to continue making hyperbolic opinions that don't go anywhere?

Again, instead of focusing on skills that need a heavy dose of refinement, you're still bothered by two skills not being one button. Changing the way Blizzard IV and Fire IV work with each other isn't going to fix Freeze, Scathe, or Fire 2, and I would rather see them work on those than your gripes about Fire IV and Blizzard IV taking two spaces on your hotbar which isn't a design flaw, it's not a broken interface, it's not even really that much of an improvement when you have six skills that are still haphazard to use in the background.

Fire IV and Blizzard IV not being one button isn't a problem, it's just a personal pet peeve of yours and you don't like it. Plain and simple.

Simple doesn't always mean it's better either.

It's literally broken. Ley Lines and Between the Lines have the same result but can only be used in completely disjoint conditions, so they should be the same button. Making them the same button would be objectively better design.


What seems to be beyond you is that such an improvement to the interface wouldn't force you to relearn anything. If you're so offended at fixing what is broken, you can spend two slots to maintain the behaviour of the current broken interface.

It's not really broken, but okay, that's your personal pet peeve with the job then.
