one button rotation,opinion?

[Rithy255]

I mean, some DPS jobs already are minimum button rotation like VPR and PCT. I also distinctly a LOT of people saying 1-1-1-1-1-2-1-1-1-1-1 spam was GREAT for healers so they had NOTHING to complain or strike about, so why can't tanks and DPS join in on the "fun" they so adamantly supported?

And then of course there's the upcoming mobile game, where we already know they're going to "borrow" certain things from it to bring over to PC and well... do you know how many buttons there are on a touchscreen? Yeah...

Bet they won't let us borrow the glam system but will let us borrow a awful 2 button job system, which is the job reworks in 8.0 that will surely save the game!

We already have a concept known as a cure-bot. And even if some people notice, as long as the tank and the rest of the group are alive, you're unlikely to be kicked out of the group for it, at least in casual content. In fact, nothing prevents a tank or damage dealer from pressing only one button. Some people just don't want to fight. They want to socialise, make pretty pictures, collect relics. And no matter how much you simplify the combat in the game or the combat classes, they won't want to fight. Those who wish to press only one button can do so now. And I don't think anything good will come of an officially created rotation with a single button. I have no doubt that people will use it. I just don't think they should have that option in principle, at least not officially. Those who really need it are already capable of making the game play for them (on PC, of course ./wink). And "play" at the level of a good player.

I don't know about a full rotation, but most jobs you could easily shrink combos down to 1 button like how they're in PvP...
It would dumb the game down, but it would also save hotbar space.

Monk is currently really the only job where it'd be an issue, because of Perfect Balance.

But do you think they're gonna actually do anything with that extra hotbar space?

I'm all for reducing hotbar space but only if they're actually planning to add things and not take away things like they always do.

If people want one button rotations they can just play healer. Even comes with fast queue times.

so everyone plays like a healer now

They likely wouldn't add anything... At least not immediately.

I mean, I find it hard to believe they’ll actually do it, but this is THE Creatively Bankrupt Unit III we’re talking about… lol.

Funny you call them that when they are the sole reason SE is actually still successful.

To add more context to that post from WoW - They are providing this for players as a optional feature you can enable, but the drawback is a increased (+0.2 second) Global Cooldown when you use it.
For oGCD classes, not a big thing, though.

Take it as you will.

I always wondered why we couldn't have the same set up as pvp. Have the 1, 2, 3, rotation on the same button etc etc etc
