Job action combos one button

[Wyakin]

I think it might eventually find its way in. XIV follows a vertical progression with each level tier, and there's only so many new rotational keys you can add before having to get the job through a rework.

Some people say it dumbs thing down and makes jobs 1 button spammers, however it's not as simple as that... Some jobs are indeed very simple and can go without this feature, like Machinist or Summoner if it was a combo job.

Other jobs, though, are already near the limit of how much you can add before it becomes way too busy, like Dragoon. Those indeed could benefit from a consolidated combo to free up a few binds for new things. They did this with Gunbreaker's cartridge combo and the job suddenly feels much better to play without losing any depth.

I personally don't see a lot of difference in pressing the same key 3x than pressing a sequence of 3 keys that are always bound right next to each other. They are still different actions being pressed.

The difference is simple. You can accidentally press the wrong button in your combo. Yeah, it’s rare and yeah it’s a stupid thing to do but it can be done. Removing it would make that mistake never happen. Another move towards making FF too simplistic and boring. The opposite of what people want

At this day, it's VERY hard to break combo. Removing the chance of a mistake that hardly takes place unless you're trolling is completely inconsecuential and, in the jobs where it's more likely the happen, the one button combo would be impossible to introduce without altering the job's gameplay (PLD, DRG, SAM and MNK). Not to mention OP's scenario already exists and is still liable to break (GNB GF combo).

yeah Im pretty sure its because of that one potential mess up being the sole thread that keeps certain combo heavy jobs interesting and entertaining. Yup...

No...its really not because of that. What makes classes like Monk and Samurai fun is that they have branching paths in their combo rotation that extends different button presses. Which is what I see a lot of people complain whenever they bring up the oh so clever 11111111 rotation.

I agree with the previous poster, its not the complete end of the world as we'll eventually see more skills and buttons added in future updates for jobs that will bring back some bit of complexity before they trim them down a bit such as with Gunbreaker and its Continuation button.

Like you said... it's rare, so what weight that bears?

I think the gains in complexity of having more available keybinds for other kinds of actions overshadow this minimal complexity losses in having the pvp combos by default for pve.
