Summoner and Buttons

[Beddict]

In theory they could, but I'm hard pressed to think of moves that share a button already that don't also share a cooldown.

Geirskogul and Nastrond come to mind. Geirskogul is on a 30s recast, Nastrond is on a 10s recast, they share the same button, and Nastrond only becomes available during Life of the Dragon. You can use Nastrond at something like 5s left on LotD, exit LotD, immediately go back in to LotD with Geirskogul that just came off cooldown, and you'll find that Nastrond will be ready in about 5s. The cooldown of Geirskogul keeps ticking while LotD is active and the player is using Nastrond, and the cooldown of Nastrond keeps ticking when the player is out of LotD and using Geirskogul. SE should be able to consolidate Dreadwyrm Trance, Summon Bahamut, and Firebird Trance.

I hadn't considered that move, thank you! This does support the idea that they could potentially merge more buttons.
