Why All the One-Button Mechanics?

Because it's part of a skill check. While on paper, its really simple, as a caster, pop that CD every 60s for +MP. I can attest that sometimes I forget and let it slip..

Like spell interruption, just kick/pummel or X, or stun. It's just a button.

Every button added is a "skill check" of some sort. That doesn't make that check significant, however, let alone worth its real estate.

Consider what skills we have pruned over time, from Power Surge to Largesse, etc.. Lucid Dreaming, now short of its enmity reduction, is worth its space less, even, than either of those, as at least Power Surge had the possibility for mis-spending and Largesse created optimization windows.
