How much abilities does each class have to press?

Imo a rotation should inlcude like maximum 4-6 spells. I do have only 5 fingers per hand and in a pvp situation keeping track of 20 spells is just bullshit.
I also think running MMO mice or having like 3 layers of buttons to press (ALT, SHIFT, CAPS,...) is to much.
There should be like simple spells, impactful ... not like 20 different things (makes it also easier for viewers enjoying and understanding what is going on)

Some situational things depending on the class and like 1-5 buffs for the group/raid depending on class aswell. But not like extensive like in wow having different rotations for everything (shadow priest wtf). Different setups for different encounters or whatever.

So in total I'd think about like up to 12-14 skills max.

Simplicity is more enjoyable in my opinion. What y'all think about this?

Simply put:
A max level class will have access to 35-40 active skills

There is a slot reserved for basic weapon attack

The hotbar/actionbar has space to slot in 15-20 additional actions

Actions include not only active skills but also things like potions

Looking at the Bard Gameplay as an example, it seems this combo obsessed class will weave its combat mainly through weapon attacks, 2 melodies between they switch and maybe 6 active abilities with the ultimate saga ability to trigger once in a while. Totalling to a "rotation" for standard encounters that would require 9 keys.

That sounds quite managable to me.

For the millionth time no, its 20 active skills, 15 passives for a 35-40 TOTAL. Stop spreading misinformiation.

Don't fret, chances are Neuralink will become common tech by the time Ashes comes out.

Very poor reply, passive don’t count, they working in the background, no keys need pressing to activate them or they would not be passives, so if you semi right, it’s then 20 active skills, there could be 1000 passives, but it would still only be 20 active.

So you to are spreading miss information with the 35/40 nonsense.
