PS3 Controller Hotbar problems

[Decrith]

So I'm trying to find what they changed with the hotbars and tried experimenting on things but no dice, and no changes seems to be made in the patch notes, but for some reason I can't switch hotbars when I'm doing an action.

I play my DRG a lot, and maximizing on it, requires to do moves inbetween your GCD skills, and I obviously have to do it fast, thus my skills are in different hotbars, I just did Titan EX right now and immediately saw the difference, while I was doing heavy thrust and was about to prepare to use my buff (which is in another hotbar), it wouldn't let me. I tried spamming it while doing so and it only let me change hotbars when the animation has halfway done. I normally use the shortcut keys L1 + triangle and L1 + circle to switch between my hotbars but I can't seem to do that anymore.

Is there someone out there that knows how to change it back to before, or if this is some sort of bug that needs to be fixed?

On a side note though, I can switch my hotbars normally outside of battle, it's when I use skills that it stops responding. I still don't know if this is a bug or not, so I held off on reporting it as one.

I had the samething happen to me the Hot Bar would like lock while I attacked so I went into my config and turned off enable auto hotbar switching while drawing/sheathing weapon and it went back to normal for me.

Not for me, I'm still having the problem, I especially notice it as a physical DPS, I think what happens is it locks the hotbar when doing an action (including cast).

Cross Hotbar Controls set to Hold? That seems to be what's giving me trouble.

After letting go of R2/L2 there seems to be a second or so delay which I'm positive was never there before... It completely locks you out of doing pretty much anything but moving; can't switch hotbar, can't access menu, can't select mouse mode, can't interact with NPCs/etc.

Whatever they did, it's completely destroyed how fluid it used to be...

The delay seems directly tied to the same delay in being able to use a GCD ability.

It seems that the same amount of time where you have to wait from your first step of a combo is the same amount of time you can't tap the right bumper (RB) to swap cross hotbar sets. If you wait until your GCD timer is half done, the RB responds immediately, so I'm guessing that the GCD cooldown and the RB tap to switch has somehow been linked. Using the RB + x/y/a/b seems to remain unaffected.

Like others have said - this is a really big issue for people that have gotten used to tapping RB mid-combo to use non GCD abilities & buffs, then tapping back to the combo.
