BLM could use some button consolidation

As for Scathe/Xenoglossy. You can use Scathe while Xenoglossy is available... but you’d never want to.

I can't agree with this. Scathe doesn't cost Polyglot so there are definitely times I'd rather use Scathe than Xenoglossy. Using Scathe is far better against weak or underleveled enemies, or enemies with a fraction of HP. Being forced to use Xeno in those situations would be a complete waste and feel horrible.

If a Scathe would kill them, then so would any other attack from your party members. Just wait 1 second.
Might be a niche use in dungeons, but nothing essential and there's no pressure to save those couple seconds.
In a trial/raid setting, absolutely useless.

In most cases sure, someone else will just kill it, but there might be times when you're the only one who notices or are the only one in position to attack. These are really niche situations but that's just the nature of Scathe. It's not normally worth casting. If you're just looking at it from a standard rotation point of view, then Scathe is useless (although in that case I'd just say take if off your bar instead of consolidating it with something else since at least you would have it as an option just in case).

Bringing up dungeons Scathe also useful for adds that can't be damaged but require attacking anyway. Adds like the mud pie in Saint Mocianne Hard. That particular example is a level 70 dungeon, but if the mechanic gets reused at 80, I'd much rather pay 1 hotbar slot than Polyglot. This is again something that you might count on your party for, but things don't always go as intended.
