I don't know how many players opt to use a controller over kb&m, but I'm certainly one of them. As such, hotkeys are EXTREMELY valuable real estate, which sometimes means having to ask yourself "what actions can I afford to live without?", at least at a moment's notice.

The DRK, I've managed to play without any real issue, and even the Reaper I haven't felt like I had to make any particular sacrifice just yet. However, I've been leveling PLD recently, and I honestly feel kind of overwhelmed with how many actions I have to keep track of and regularly apply.

If I could even just consolidate their basic single-target and AoE combo's into single buttons, though -- which is already done in PvP -- ...man, it would be a WHOLE lot easier to keep everything easily bound to my three core bars (I know you can technically make L2+R2 and R2+L2 into two different bars, but it just feels unnatural to me).

I mostly just wonder, is there a compelling reason NOT to allow those rotating abilities? They're mostly "filler" abilities anyways, it just seems like it would make it a bit easier to add more complexity to jobs via long-cooldown abilities.
