Leaves room for stuff like a stat pot and flexibility for a macro or glam-specific mount or whatever. Seems fair. A few jobs at 35 buttons that definitely don't need that.

Something like SMN could definitely dare to have more.
Oh that is ABSOLUTELY great insight, yeah. I think capping at 25 job specific buttons (again, not the same as actions. RDM has 33 endgame actions, but only spread across 24 buttons) plus the 5 additional role actions, is probably the best design decision overall.
