    Hmm I'm not sure if you want to just stick to one cross bar only but I use two. The first one I have all of my main combos and my off CDs that do damage and I place all my buffs on the second one. You can hit R1 once to swap to second crossbar use the move your after then hold R1 and hit triangle to instantly swap back to the first crossbar to continue your rotation. And yes I use the rotation on a rotation reborn minus fracture/mercy stroke. The only thing you will have to learn is the timing of the off gcds on the second crossbar. I time them using my lifesurge buff on the main crossbar.

    Yeah man, it's all personal preference, but you'll notice that you will be able use only one CrossBar for the entire main rotation, including Off-GCD abilities, with my config.

    Yea I agree its all personal preference but I like to leave a few spots open on my main crossbar for things like RoT next to my heavy thrust and DFD/DS for those pesky WP speed runs. Just makes it a little easier on me. But if you don't need aoe often then there'd be no need to keep those skills up front.

    There is an option (on PS3 at least) to make hotbars only show up if your weapon is drawn or sheathed. You can make your battle hotbars for weapon drawn and your utility hotbars for when your weapon is sheathed. When your weapon is drawn, toggling between hotbars via R1 clicks will never go to your utility hotbar, but you can still access it with your weapon drawn if you absolutely NEED to by holding R1 and pressing the corresponding button that you have your utility hotbar mapped to. It's very useful for pad players and not hard to set up.
