Some ideas to consolidate buttons/reduce button bloat

[Jonnycbad]

Dragoon:

-Make "Piercing Talon" into an 180 potency ability instead of a GCD.
At level 60, "Piercing Talon" upgrades into Geirskogul while under the effect of "Blood of the Dragon" (you can't use Geirskogul currently without Blood of the Dragon anyway).

-Mirage Dive replaces the Jump/High Jump button while under the effect of "Mirage Dive Ready"


Paladin:
-Confiteor replaces the Requiescat button while under the effect of Requiescat.

Black Mage:
-Blizzard 2 directly upgrades to Freeze.

Ninja: Dream within a Dream changes to Assassinate when used

BLM: Change Leyline into Between the Lines when Leyline is active

Would rather they do stuff like this than just delete actions.

Idk about how keyboard users feel, but as someone who plays exclusively on the DS4 even after moving to PC, doing something like this would really help save space on the hotbar. A lot of my hotbars are almost full, and I'm worried with 6.0 I'll have to do some pretty major reorganization so this would help a lot.

As for piercing talon, idk, its useless in most content, but in those cases where you are blocked from melee range it can help maintain some amount of DPS for 2, 3 GCD's.

Make cure 1, benefic 1, and physick upgrade to cure 2, benefic 2, and adlo respectively. I can't think of any situation where using these baby spells is useful. As soon as you get the "rank ups" you will never use the others again. Total waste, but can't delete them off your bar in case you get thrown into a terribly low dungeon.

Having Confiteor replace Requiescat might be a convenient change for some, but if you're someone like me who mashes skills to combat high game latency, you might accidentally end up using Confiteor right away.
Also, if 6.0 adds a second ability able to be used in Requiescat, like a higher potency, single target option equivalent to Xenoglossy, then that change wouldn't be as good.

It all comes down to what the devs have planned. Some things may already be planned, some may be unnecessary due to changes we don't know about yet.

Physick used to be useful when we could macro our faeries, targeted Physick + Embrace was hella useful. Now it's basically the 'only use is you have NOTHING else' button.

No, it was never useful. You actually lost a lot of embrace casts with macros to SCH skills because the embrace cooldown doesn't align to any other skill. It's like cutting yourself.

Summoner could really use this but hopefully they will get reworked in 6.0 anyway hehe.

In that case, SE would need to replace the free Cure 2/Benefic 2 trait as well as the consolidation would make it (even more?) useless.
