Idea to simplify combo action skills

[Genaxx]

I also use an additional hotbar like Morbid but a horizontal one to display all the long CD skills that are on my second bar. Make sure its not set to shared so you can use it for multiple jobs.

There's also the very annoying "quirk" where when you first pick something from the 2nd bar, it will swap back to the first.

Could you explain this more? I've never know this to happen. Are you saying that if you use R1 to go to the 2nd bar and then use a skill, it will change back to the first?

Macros won't queue, though, so it would mess up the flow of chaining your combo abilities. I feel like the result would be less efficient.

They wouldn't need to queue if you could macro macro's to the hotbar. It would work like this;

/mlock
/micon "Spinning Edge"
/ac "Spinning Edge" <t>
/crosshotbar set "Gust Slash" 1 RAR

which then changes the same button to this;

/mlock
/micon "Shadow Fang"
/ac "Shadow Fang" <t>
/crosshotbar set "MACRO NAME" 1 RAR

But since we cannot set macros to the hotbar like this, I will try another way.

The other way is to do it like this;

Hotbar 1
/mlock
/micon "Spinning Edge"
/ac "Spinning Edge" <t>
/crosshotbar change 2

Hotbar 2
/mlock
/micon "Shadow Fang"
/ac "Shadow Fang" <t>
/crosshotbar change 1

/mlock
/micon "Gust Slash"
/ac "Gust Slash" <t>
/crosshotbar change 3

Hotbar 3
/mlock
/micon "Armor Crush"
/ac "Armor Crush" <t>
/crosshotbar change 1

/mlock
/micon "Dancing Edge"
/ac "Dancing Edge" <t>
/crosshotbar change 1

/mlock
/micon "Aeolian Edge"
/ac "Aeolian Edge" <t>
/crosshotbar change 1

Technically it works, but its not very practical, since if you press the next action before the timer is up, it hotbar will change and you will lose your combo. Sadly I dont think its possible to do this right now, however I think its possible with 1 > 2 combo's like below, giving you however many seconds to combo the second action before it switches back to the original.

/mlock
/micon "Spinning Edge"
/ac "Spinning Edge" <t>
/crosshotbar change 4 <wait.3>
/crosshotbar change 3
