5.0 Combat changes: What do you expect?

[Ilan]

It would allow more oGCDs to be placed on the primary bar for one.

I play on PS4 with a controller.

I consider the primary bar to be the 16 actions quickly accessible with either L2 or R2.

16 more actions (8 at a time) can be accessed via Cross Hotbar by holding either L2 then R2 or holding R2 then L2.

Finally 8 more actions (4 at a time) can be accessed via W Cross Hotbar by double tapping then holding either L2 or R2.


While Cross Hotbar is pretty reliable, sometimes there can be derp if I'm already holding L2 or R2 to input an action and I want to weave something in on a cross hotbar, but either I don't let go of the trigger in time (or server doesn't read it...) and I get the wrong crossbar up... W Cross Hotbar is a nightmare in intense situations. The more stuff that is happening, the more likely it seems that my double tap won't be registered. I already put my least used skills there, but about half the times I want to use them in an adequate emergency the bar doesn't appear.


So I for one, would use the new real estate on my primary bar for oGCDs from my crossbar and perhaps some of the emergency abilities from my W Hotbar that I tend to go to first.

I don't play with a controller so i can't go in debth with that but everyone i know who plays on a console doesn't have any problems doing so. Maybe you should try to play with mouse and keyboard if you are having issues with a controller. I'm sure someone who plays on PS4 can go further into that controller topic.
