Left Bumber as a 3rd skill bar

[Tensu]

im not talking switching to a bar here.. i'm taliking a new skill bar on the scree so we can see cd's.. on pc the skill bar takes like 30% of the screen... an extra "LB" bar just above the "Controller" bar would'nt be as intrusive as the pc "KB Mouse" UI

By LB i mean left bumper

It's just about knowing CD time's.. not switching... im switching just to check CD's which is a hindrence

I dont know how it works on ps4 but on pc you can resize your bars, I have like all 10 bars enabled and it takes up maybe the bottom quarter of my screen including Mini-map and chat.

Thats mine with all my actions, Additions, and even the 6 pvp abilities thrown on it along with other random crap

And I am not 100% sure I understand what you want but if I think I get what you want you can enable the PC hotbars to show up along with your cross hotbars (The controller ones) At least on PC you can, So you could make a sized down hotbar with all your CD's on it to see whats on and off cool down but still also have them on one of your swapped cross hotbars to use when needed. This would give you the bar showing your CD"s while still letting you press your LB to then bring up the bar on the cross bar to use the abilities as needed.

So you would have something like this just pretend that its all set up where you want and such with the cross bar and the one other bar above or below it with your CD's, They would show what is / isn't and how much time is left on CD's

then you can hit your Button combo like LB+RB To get to the hotbar that has a copy of them on it to use.

I was wondering, how do you work that out? Hotbars and then the Crosshotbar at the same time?

Is it confusing? I play as Controller but I want to have some Hotbars for Macros and whatnot but its a pain with a controller.

The purpose of the icons set on the standard hotbar is just so that you can visually track cooldowns for your abilities that may not be on your main Cross-Hotbar. For instance if I have an ability on my L2+R2 Crossbar, it is only visible when I hold L2+R2. If I want to be able to track it's cooldown all of the time, I can set it on a separate hotbar in order to keep the icon visible.
