    Quite simply:

    For every action that is literally 1-2-3 there is zero logical reason not to condense them down into a single button. None. You can claim complexity all you want but you're still pressing a button 3 times does it matter if it's 1-1-1 or 1-2-3? I submit that it does not.

    "But But But Deceptus, there are times when I NEED to break that combo up!"

    And lose potency? Why would you ever do that? If you missed out on the next step it could revert back to step 1. Button bloat is a constant fight in this game and a condensed combo button solves a small part of it.

    Monk has a rear rotation and a flank rotation just like other melee jobs. Just move Snap Punch to flank and Demolish to rear and you can easily line everything up. You'd have a buffing rotation ending in a DoT, and then your main rear rotation.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
