Anyone else use these SCH macros?

I try to keep almost everything I need for battle on one hot bar and crossbar, so I don't have enough slots for an arrangement like that. How do you manage your other skills?

you know you can quick switch right? You hold L2 and push R2 and you get a whole new set of hotbars. You can do the same thing but reversed (Hold R2 push L2) so you can have quick access to 3 crossbars.

I believe that is what the OP is doing.

Yeah, but by the time you go through all the other abilities and pet commands, having two whole hotbars dedicated just Physick and Adloquium doesn't really leave enough space.

Five essential pet commands (Heel, Stay, Obey, Sic, and Place), eight pet abilities, 23 Scholar abilities and spells , Swiftcast, Protect, and Stoneskin makes 39. I don't bother micromanaging Selene, so I could see dropping those four for a total of 35.

Total slots with R2, L2, R2+L2, and L2+R2 is 32. If you take 16 of those for just two spells, that leaves 16 slots for 33 abilities and spells. You could simply assign them to another hotbar set, but I prefer not to have to switch hotbar sets during battle unless I must.

I use 3 hotbars plus the additional 16 slots provided by the R2 L2 settings for my physick adlo macros... During battle I can toggle between hotbar 1 +2 ONLY by hitting R1 (bar 1 heals/buffs, bar 2 is dps) the third hotbar i have to manually access by holding r1 and x on my controller. Im used to switching hotbars mid battle but I understand most ppl dont like doing that. I wish I was home to post screen shots

cross bar 1 heals/ buffs - r1
cross bar 2 dps - r1
cross bar 3 not so commonly used abilities (accessed manually, toggle setting set for cross bar 1 +2 ONLY) r1 + x
cross bar 5 adlo/physick macros accessed via L2 R2 combo

We think very similarly in how we set our stuff. One thing I do to save spaces is I made four pet ability macros that do double duty to command both pets. For example, I have whispering dawn and silent dusk written into the same macro so I can use one slot for both. For embrace, if you macro /pac "embrace", it will work for both faeries. The macro icon, of course, only works for one pet that way (I have them set for Eos), but it is a worthwhile trade off. I also shrunk the pet hot bar and stuck it in the bottom right corner of the screen for when I need to see her cooldown status.

For Selene, I haven't been bothering with micromanaging her either, but the macros give me that flexibility, if I ever wanted to.

I've only gotten to level 44 on scholar, so I haven't played advanced stuff yet. I have place and heel on my hot bar, but haven't used them much. How do you use place, heel, and stay? Under what circumstances do you use them instead of letting her follow you? Can I get by with place and heel, or do I need to make room on my hot bar for stay?
