The sheer number of buttons the Jedi Guardian at 50 has just destroys the fun I once had while leveling the toon.

Similarly, my Jedi Shadow has a lot of keybinds and you just stare at ur UI buffs for procs. THis is not fun combat at all.

I use a Razer Naga too.

This is all you're going to get: posts telling you you're bad.

I agree, too many abilities is overkill.

A lot of the Abilities are Situational...also you could have stuff for another spec sitting on your bar...I don't find the amount of buttons I use any more or less than my Unholy DK or Arms warrior.

Ability Bloat is no fun and every MMO suffers from it. 80% of the skills you hardly ever need to use.

I liked the Guild Wars 1 combat system. Where you had to choose 8 skills that you were going to bring with you. It made the combat very strategic, you actually had to put thought into your skill make up, plus it became even more strategic when you put into consideration the skill make up of the team you are in. Sometimes having less is actually more.

Most of the abilities are situational. SOME of them are so situational that they probably shouldn't exist or should be fused with other abilities.

I agree that we have too many abilities overall, especially given how similar most of them are.
