Bard Hotbar

[bardaboo]

Sidewinder is never wasted.. since dots go up first. Barrage/emp arrow is easy to line up, and I dont honestly ever feel the need to move using blood letter.

It does all come down to min-maxing. I personally am not concerned with having the max dps possible, what matters is enjoying the game, and being forced to have like 10 crossbars worth of skills to work with... nothanks.

Really? So you'd rather use sidewinder without buffs up on a trash mob before a boss than save it for your opener?

There's a big difference between min/maxing and playing well. I'm saying a macro like this is even worse. Min/maxing is things like optimal substats on your gear (do i upgrade to 240, or keep my 230 with way better substats) melding all your gear shit like that. What you are doing is trying to get by by putting in no effort.

So with putting your dots up first on every mob what are you doing with you ocd time? You can't use bloodletter. .. ever.
Look you can argue and nitpick all you want, in the end you'll always be average. Now maybe juuust maybe, people asking for advice don't want to be average. So please NEVER SUGGEST THIS

Skill placement in the hotbars all comes down to the player's tastes. but I think mine is very organized.



The main crossbar, from left to right: oGCD skills, AOE skills, Skills that have timers, main damage skills.



Second hotbar, the 'songbar' from left to right: buffs and cross classes I use eventually, all songs together with the exception of WP.



All my cooldowns on the extended hotbar for easy acess.
For macros I only use the FA macro, never had a problem, you just need to understand that it's not queueable and press the button at the right time.

Well truth is, it would seem they've changed some of bard's skills since I started to use a macro. Will be making some changes.

Thank you for those who posted constructive remarks.

Actually thinking.. I can put blood letter onto another macro.. so that it procs instead of my dots... and I just have to double tap my dot button.. this way I'm not wasting this ogcd skill...

Excellent, you all convinced me to make more macros :P
