can we have a differnt UI for skills

[danny52844]

any1 hate having a tool bar that you just press a number to use skills? i played FF11 and hated this idea so much i never used macros i loved targeting the monsters opening my menu going to magic or att or skill and doing what needed to be done and with the f1-6 healing was easy so i never needed macros and never conformed to them becuase i hated 1234567890

im not saying get rid of the bar but can we have something different im not even saying like FF11's but not a damn bar

im not even saying bars are bad XD but maybe some ppl ( like me lol) just dont like action bars

Tbh though what is more final fantasy a skill bar or an actual menu that organizes att skills ect.. ect.

EDIT: im not complaining about the lag but i just the only way to use a skill is 1234567890 and just having another option on using the skills

If you didn't use macros in FFXI, I take it you didn't use gear swaps either. Which in that game, I'm sorry to say would make you nothing short of a gimp. Also for healing <stpt> did wonders for me.

However in this game, gear swaps are not necessary so alternate ways to use your abilities would not be too far out of the questions.

mainly played mages where gear swap wasnt huge i mean when i was using bliz 4 i could always go to gear and manually change but thats why im also saying that idc if they keep it but can we have something else for maybe ppl like me :|

I agree. Maybe not like in FFXI but like in every other FF.

Would be cool if the UI was faster, more responsive and "snappier" instead of having that slow transition animation between choosing options.

bumping cause like no one saw this and i wanna see if ppl agree or not

No, having to navigate through a menu everytime I want to use a skill bogs battle down. I also can't customize it (I, for example, have Bar 1 as offense magic, Bar 2 as healing/buffs, and Bar 3 as different DoL skills).

And I don't have to go into active mode to bring it up (you can just press 1-0 and it brings up the action bar).

I wouldn't mind it as an alternative, but I want to keep by action bar.

Haha wow. As an ex FFXI BLM, I'd have to say you did your job horribly then. Gear swaps were absolutely necessary especially to maximize your nukes.
