L2 + R2 = third cross bar

[Ulathskullsplitter]

Unfortunately due to ps3 limitations holding l2 +r2 will switch to a different hotbar and not actually add a 3rd hotbar in between the ones we already have. I dont like having to switch between hotbars during a fight. I want to see all my coolodowns on one hotbar. I use a 360 controller on pc, I wish we could at least get it with all 24 skills for L2, R2, L2+R2 shown on screen at the same time on the pc UI. Please dont hold me back because of ps3 memory limitations.

I play with a 360 controller on PC (Mouse and Keyboard felt weirdly sluggish in this game for me...). As a Dragoon, I use about 24 buttons, though only 16 regularly. The abilities that are situational go into the second bar and I simply press R1, use the ability, then R1 to go back to my main bar. This can be done while on the run in a split second. I also changed it in the settings so only these two bars will show up when my weapon is drawn. This way, I don't switch to bars that are useless for combat.

Well since you are talking about the gamepad sets and etc I wanted to ask you something. As you know we can select which sets to be visible during the fight, usually are 2 sets so we just press R1/RB quick and go to set 2 and set 1 back again. So far perfect, but there is a major issue when you use a pet class... when I go smn or sch the R1/RB will switch between set 1 and pet set instead showing set 1 +2 + pet. It force me to hold R1/RB to and press circle/B to go to set 2 and then triangle/Y to return to 1 again. It is kinda annoying when you want to move fast or maybe I need to get used... My solution as it is now is to have least used skills or less important in set 2 while have all core important skills in set 1 so barely need to change.

So do you know or find a way to be able to switch between set 1 and 2 and pet without having to hold R1/RB?

I was just thinking this.

Aren't there already sixteen cross bars? L2 + the face buttons, L2 + D-pad. And the same with the R2 button.

8 crossbars with 16 slots each

You can place a normal hotbar for important cooldowns with the PC UI and PS4 UI.

I do it here with a macro.
/crosshotbar change 2 to switch to bar 2 and /crosshotbar change 1 to switch to bar 1. I use this 2 macros on pet class to switch between crosshotbar 1 and 2 and R1 to switch to pet crossbar and back.

I just disabled the pet hotbar (it is in the config) and stuck the pet actions on the regular hotbar.

You can't customize the pet hotbar and it messes with the R1 cycling so it is useless IMO. SCH and SMN both use only a few of the actions anyway.

Same here, first thing i did when trying pets was to disable pet hotbar. Its horrible.

Ya thats what I do now. I would just prefer to have all 24 skills on one hotbar and not have to switch. Playing DRG on a controller is hectic enough as it is without needing to change between hotbars all the time. No matter how I arrange my skills or use macros (drg cannot macro their combos, huge dps loss) 16 slots just isnt enough. 24 would be perfect.

[Judge_Hellboy]

I don't know about you guys but I find using L2 and R2 tiresome on the hands. About a month into the game I got the bright idea to flip it around and now use L1 and R1 for hotbars. Much MUCH gooder better... etc.

And this is why I wish they would have used a controller setup more like Tera's instead of what they have now. It's utterly useless.

Hold down nothing (OMG what a concept!) for the first setup.
Hold R1 for the second.
Hold L1 for the third.

Three full customized setups should be enough for every job. Add in separate crossbars (like I have to do now because have to switch is a pain in the ***) if you need them. They really screwed the pooch on this.

slight problem with this, the controller already does things without pressing any triggers, d-pad(crosspad to some of you) selects things on your screen. and the buttons also do things like auto attack, jump, bring up map, back

your idea is nice but it wouldnt work unless another button was used to allow those functions
