    The critique/suggestion (that you could just have a single button cycle through all three actions) is relevant from the moment you suggest it for even a single healer.

    Unnecessary bloat doesn't stop being unnecessary bloat just because it's only attached to one job... It, to me, seems to add more significantly cost than benefit, and so I consider it a worse design.

    That's not the issue at hand. Iniqueness is fine. But uniqueness shouldn't come solely in the form of unnecessary bloating. Whatever additional cost the unique buttonflow and/or gameplay has, it should have commensurate advantage (such as through being more precisely or exploitably leverageable).

    Advocating for one option to be unique only in that it is uniquely bad is not an argument for diversity. It doesn't matter if only one job is saddled with it; it's still worse than it could easily and should be.

    A "1-2-3" combo is effectively a single action. Make it act as more (by letting it be more than just a rigid sequence) or skip the bloat, especially when it's on a healer of all things.
