simple way to reduce button bloat without changing gameplay

[Deceptus]

Simple button compression is all that's needed. Instead of straight up dumbing it down so that whenever you need aoes your buttons switch automatically just make some buttons automatically swap to others under certain circumstances.

For example ARC/BRD doesn't need Heavy Shot and Straight Shot. If Straight Shot Ready is proc'd just turn Heavy Shot into straight shot. Or on BLM, once you use Ley Lines it should turn into Between the Lines until Ley Lines goes on CD.

Just little things like this would help immensely. It would add up to quite a bit. And it's not like there isn't a precedent for them doing things like this either. DRK's Salted Earth turns into Salt and Darkness automatically. GNB's Burst Strike turns into Hypervelocity automatically too. They can compress a lot of buttons easily, they just choose not to.

If any ability is a direct requirement for another ability they should behave like this.

Why this happens on some jobs but not others is just frustrating.
