New "Action Change Settings", the most disappointing feature.

[Arohk]

So i somehow had the slight hope this new feature would somehow reduce the problem of button bloat, but no, It does absolutely nothing for a lot of jobs.

Warrior and Reaper for example doesn't have a single action that uses this new "feature"

WAR: Why is 'Inner Release' and' Primal Rend' not in this Category?

RPR:
Why is 'Arcane Circle' and 'Plentiful Harvest' not in this category?
Why is 'Enshroud' and 'Communio' not in this category?


Just let us use this how we like by customizing our hotkeys (to some extent)


Do the devs even play this game on a Keyboard? On Sage i get ANOTHER AOE attack and ANOTHER AOE Heal, guys my hotbars are already filled to the brim, and i got no buttons on my keyboard left for more skills, it is not comfortable to play in any way.

I had similar thoughts to this with RDM. Why is the new AOE melee combo a single button (as it was before) and the single-target remains three separate buttons? Like, pick one or the other or let us choose. When they first brought this "change" up stuff like this is immediately what I was thinking of. I'd agree it's a disappointment but I will also say that it could be a case that what they intending was mistranslated or something.

WAR doesn't because Inner Release turns into something that activates after you use Fell Cleave 3 times, and Primal Rend turns into another action after it's used.
RPR doesn't because they added Perfectio for Communio to turn into.

BRD's single target/aoe skills don't turn into their proc version when they have a proc because reasons.
MCH's Overcharge doesn't turn into Blazing Shot because reasons.
DNC's Devilment doesn't turn into Starfall Dance because it was added in Endwalker instead of in Dawntrail.

MNK has 9 buttons instead of 3 because of reasons.
RPR's Arcane Circle doesn't turn into Plentiful Harvest because reasons.

RDM's melee combo is still 3 buttons because reasons.
PCT needs Aetherhues instead of using a normal combo system on a single button like Gunbreaker because reasons. This wouldn't have even made the cursed Pictomancer optimization possible if they just didn't add this.
All other jobs with a single 3 button combo still have it on multiple buttons because reasons.

I was really hoping they'd apply this to the 1-2-3 combos.

It's the 3 buttons that take up the most space in majority of the classes. As a purely controller player, I barely have so much buttons as is. I still play my paladin without using my combo.

I still play my paladin without using my combo.

How do you do any damage?

Anyway, Viper is the perfect example how to do it, there is really no excuse to not consolidate the combos of other jobs as well.

Here is another example:

Ninja:
Trick Attack > Assassinate

RPR doesn't because they added Perfectio for Communio to turn into.

I don't get your point, what is the problem here exactly?

Enshroud > Communio > Perfectio can all be on one hotkey since they build upon each other.
You can put them all in a Macro to have this effect, but playing with macros is not optimal.
