How often do you change up your hotbars?

[MilkieTea]

My core hotbars stay the same, I rely on muscle memory for a lot ahah. Biggest change I do is when I'm done leveling a class I strip it down to the barebones needed for my rotation and stuff in a trial. IE Smn went from needing 3 hotbars (barely... I just needed consistency for role actions ahah) to needing 1 hotbar for the rotation and one hotbar for summons.

But I do regularly change up my menu macro!

Yeah, macros like that are what I need to look into. Maybe for job changing. Might could use one for mark bills. And something else that's slipping my mind..

I think it's the out of combat stuff that's probably naturally easiest to change up.

Bro, you can do that? I've been wasting hotbars on gearsets all this time when I could just do this???

mhm! The arrow button is the button to activate the menu, so it sits on hotbar "5":

/hotbar display 6 [on/off]
/hotbar display 7 off
/wait 7 
/hotbar display 6 off

The tank, healer, DPS buttons each swap out class hotbars. For example:

TANK

/hotbar copy MRD 1 current 7
/hotbar display 7 on
/wait 7
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 6 off

So you'd put all the buttons you need onto MRD hotbar 1 (instead of WAR) and it would copy that hotbar onto "current" hotbar 7. MRD 2 would be healer, MRD 3 would be DPS. Then since I wanted ease of access I switched over to CNJ (instead of WHM) and did the same thing for the emotes, mounts, and minions.

To change job stones, this would be the macro

/micon "Soul of the Paladin" item
/snap
/wait 2
/gs change 1
/wait 2
/hotbar display 7 off
/hotbar display 6 off

micon changes it to the pretty job icon, /snap is just the snap emote. /gs change changes it to gearset 1 (PLD gearset for me). After 2 seconds it turns the menu off so I don't have to manually click anything.
