I am assuming that your saying its annoying going from one to another cross hotbar in a pinch. One thing I have done is changed the way the cross hotbar works in and out of combat. I do this by having the option under System >> Character Configuration >> Hotbar Settings >> Cross >> Enable customization for when weapon is drawn. Here for me I usually have hotbar 2 and 3 selected. This does two things. First, no matter what hot bar your in, the moment you pull your weapon out the hot bar will change to number 2. (Since its the first one on selected) Hotbar number 2 is my main attack setup bar since 1 always fills up whenever I acquire a new skill. (Wish I could turn that feature off) At this point if I hit R1 it will switch to hotbar 3. If I hit it again it will go back to 2 until I put my weapon away. So as long as the weapon is out (i.e. combat mode) you will only switch between those two. Its a much faster way of switching rather than holding R1.
