do you guys think theyll keep adding new skills in future expansions?

If they're going to add more skills, I think a certain system would have to be created to fit these skills into hotbars.

Macro helps a bit, but they're inefficient compared to manual execution.

I suggested a similar system to the controller's "cross-bar" where we can combine two keys, example: ctrl + alt, to access another hotbar mapped onto your existing main hotbar. You can use your skill and immediately release ctrl + alt, and you'll get your main hotbar again.

There is already replacement skills. Like you can replace broil with ruin as scholar, stone 2 can be replaced with stone 3 as whm, malefic can be replaced with malefic 2 as astro. I see no point of using those previous versions anymore.

And then you run a low level roulette for tomestones and go, "Why aren't any of my skills working?!"

Some proper support for one button as multiple skills would help.

Fast - Savage - Halone, hit fast, auto-changes to savage if I hit, auto-changes to halone if I hit, resets. Repeat.
Same for Fast - Riot - Goring and I've managed to drop 2 buttons at least .

Level synced stuff.

Different effects and mana costs. Spell I to Spell II to Spell III etc isn't linear, and if I stop casting Benefic in favor of Beneficial II I'm going to be oom quick.

Same with Ruin III, which is mostly cast under Dreadwyrm Trance because dat 500+ MP cost...

I'd like more traits to enhance our already decent amount of skills available.

I think they are about the max number now but will combine some to add some keeping the number of skills the same.

I suspect it will start to be upgraded versions like Rage of Halone II or Fury of Halone. Where it adds an additional hit or higher dmg but takes up same combo slot. I'm already at way too many icons as it is, but more can't hurt. I can't imagine playing with the cross hotbar at all though.

Most mmorpg add more skills and streamline/remove older skills in expansions. World of Warcraft has removed alot of skills and they also streamline skills every expansion, this way the player wont have to many skills on their hotbar. This expansion streamlined SCH Selene skills, merging two skills into one is a example of what can happen in the future.

sorry to many its a pain to have to switch though cross bars on the ps4 keep adding more skills .. sure i could use a mouse and keyboard but why can i not just use the controller.. keep adding skills to the tree and slowly it will become pointless to play on a console using a controller !!

60 drk fine new class i use 12 of the job skills so I'm not fucking around swapping cross bars to use 1-2 skill that i need.. and I'm sure it hurts my dps etc.
58 ninja so far seriously wtf skills have you given me that help some silly smoke bomb HUH and that armour crush skill that half the time the defuff doesnt show up even when performed from the flank.. i don't get it then the ( can't even think of the name now the decoy enmity 80% one) i have found all of 0 fucking use for this skill!!

Stone 2 costs 442 MP with 170 Potency, Stone 3 is 530 with 210 potency.
That works out to 0.3846 potency per MP for stone 2, and 0.396 potency per MP for stone 3.

So, no. for WHM stone 3 is more MP efficient.

Efficient for damage, yes. Still more costly however, because you're using more MP in the same timeframe.
