While other MMO’s (and even WoW classic) have a low number of abilities, WoW is adding another 5-6 new keybinds with Shadowlands. You need to be a freakin’ alien with 30 fingers to play competitive WoW now 
BTW Blizzard, you should have maximum 5 base abilities (different for each spec ofc) with 1-2 major cooldowns.
Confusing the players isn’t making the game any better.
I’m not confused at all. you just wish to play diablo in wow
i came from everquest 2 … to wow …
i used to main tank paladin in raids in everquest2…
used to have about 40 abilities give or take … i say the more ablities the better… it allows for more interesting and dynamic gameplay… if you want less skills … just start playing mobile games.
EDIT: if anything wow abilities are too few as it stands… i say add more and more options in talent trees to bring back hybrid builds.
Or, dunno, make use of modifiers. I can quite comfortably play with a single hand on the keyboard, with access to a few dozen things with ease, using no more than five fingers on one hand - and usually not more than two at a time.
If you’re running out of keybinds, you need a better keybinding strategy. 
I don’t have any issues with extra buttons. I like choices.
I like having some old abilities back! And frankly my paladin is still fine, my warrior seems a bit out of sorts though.
I’m still disappointed about the disparity between the name Turn Evil and its actual effects though.
I play with 60 binds for spells and additional binds for targeting partymembers and enemys in rated pvp. Sounds like you have to improve.
i want everyone to see that its players like the OP that Blizz is catering to now.
then you wonder why the game is going downhill.
“too many buttons, please stop Blizz!”
result:pruning
“theres nothing to do in the game, please add more content besides pvp/pve”
result:island expeditions/mission table/horrific visions etc etc
“we need more representation of the whole player base!!”
result: yeah…
list goes on.
not to come out as spiteful (dont care tbh) but when i read suggestions like these i truly wonder what goes through players head, if anything at all.
read this slowwwwlllyyyy and tell me im crazy
you don’t play the game anywhere near “competitive” for this to be a issue to you.
sad thing is, Blizz actually listens to these players.
Reddit (don’t go there i beg you) i full of things like these, its insane.
my rant is over, enjoy your mobile game.
People doing macros with abilities + trinkets in it and the other day complain about how less buttons to push. Devs add more buttons - then they add this new to their macros and complain again. This is circle of nonsense bs. Delete macros and in two weeks they will be here and say about there is too many buttons to push.
Finding the bars filled already, so bit concerned how it will look like once we get the SL ability.
The classes were too dumbed down, this is bringing back some of the uniqueness and thought to the game play.
If the population wanted button mashing keys one to four then we’d all be playing super smash bros or something?
I laughed out loud well done!!
Some alts I’m astounded how many abilities I’ve had to find room for. Some are worse than others. Depending on my talent choices as well.
I’ll admit to choosing a passive sometimes so I don’t have another ability on my bar, for some toons.
me too. 
i just hate active talents when i am already packed full to the brim.
I did too, but then I found the magic of macros.
How many abilities are we getting extra with SL that we don’t have with the prepatch yet?
There’s a few “rank 2” abilities or similar, but I can’t think of any skills that would require extra binds from the top of my head. I’m certain there’s some, but I’d like to know which ones there are and for which classes and specs.
As for the covenant ability, since the heart of azeroth + wrathion cloak both become unusable, there’s two binds open right there.
tbh im too daft for macros. its always a pain in the behind if i need one. 
Some of the abilities are utility are rarely used , except high end pvp .
