    Edit: re-read the post more carefully.

    It sounds like you have an extra button set up for that in addition to all your stuff for healing the main tank, right? If so, there is a good chance you are a PC player. More power to you. As a console player, I don't have the luxury of using more buttons to do stuff like that. As it is, I've had to come up with a lot of creative ways to reduce the number of buttons I need.

    As a fellow SCH who has played on console for 2 years, I've learnt to switch between hotbars 1 and 2 (r1 + o) and use the additional bar for 3 (L2 + R2 etc), I use Hotbar 1 for offencive spells/selenes buffs, 2 for healing/Eos, whenever I press cleric it's muscle memory for me to switch between the two. all of my pet commands are on the 3rd bar with room to spare. I'm excited for the Extended Hotbar to further experiment with actions should we get more in the expansion, I'd basically manage them the same way I do PvP skills now.
