Please give us a hotbar sets.

[Cabalabob]

So now with the feast removing chat and adding 20+ stickers we have to find space for on our hotbars alongside all our regular skills and pvp skills.... Can we please get a system to create hotbar sets?

So we can swap between our PVE setup and our PVP setup?

[TiramisuMacaron]

You can make these now... Let's say you have 4 mnk hotbars for your PvE setup. Type in:
/hotbar copy mnk 1 pgl 1
/hotbar copy mnk 2 pgl 2
/hotbar copy mnk 3 pgl 3
/hotbar copy mnk 4 pgl 4
OK now those are saved! You can now change those 1-4 hotbars to your pvp setup. Then:
/hotbar copy mnk 1 pgl 5
/hotbar copy mnk 2 pgl 6
/hotbar copy mnk 3 pgl 7
/hotbar copy mnk 4 pgl 8


Now you can make two macros, mnk PvP and mnk PvE.

Monk pvp swap macro:
/hotbar copy pgl 5 mnk 1
/hotbar copy pgl 6 mnk 2
/hotbar copy pgl 7 mnk 3
/hotbar copy pgl 8 mnk 4

Monk PvE swap macro:
Monk pvp swap macro:
/hotbar copy pgl 1 mnk 1
/hotbar copy pgl 2 mnk 2
/hotbar copy pgl 3 mnk 3
/hotbar copy pgl 4 mnk 4


You can get fancy and add gear swaps and trait swaps on these macros too. Now it just takes 2 macro slots per class for messing with hotbars.

Controller already has this option.

Tiramisu's method is better, but I use the same hotbar for PvE and PvP and just swapping some actions through macros.

For example, that's how my first PvE bar for summoner looks like. All commonly used actions like DoTs are there.



When I want to switch to PvP hotbar, I use macro

/crosshotbar action "Mana Draw" 1 1
/crosshotbar action "Purify" 1 2
/crosshotbar action "Aetheric Burst" 1 3
/crosshotbar action "Wither" 1 4

And hotbar turns into



with PvP actions taking place of DoTs (do you know that nerfed Bio does less damage through its whole duration than one Ruin III? I'd rather spam Ruin III with MP leeching from Mana Draw).

Now, when I want to get back to PvE bar I use macro

/crosshotbar action "Bio II" 1 1
/crosshotbar action "Miasma" 1 2
/crosshotbar action "Bio" 1 3
/crosshotbar pet "Contagion" 1 4

[SuperZay]

I've tried method Dark Falz mentioned and it's clearly the best option for controller.

In custom hotbar settings I reserved hotbars 1-3 for PvE, and in PvP settings 4-6 for PvP hotbars:



Then filled them as needed. So when I'm in PvE area my hotbar looks like this:



Then when I enter PvP area like Wolf's Den tier, a message appears in the chat log:



And hotbar automatically switches to PvP version, showing actions from hotbar 4:



And the switch is seamless and doesn't require any macros.
I recommend to try it out to controller users!

I think I get the 2nd example, but I got lost with the first example,. how do these commands work? I'd like to look into ways to use this, outside of how I already use my hotbars.

[NargaHuntress]

this a lot of work for something they could just implement in a qol patch. but hey nice info.

Jobs and classes have different hotbars, so he just copies them from monk to pugilist forth and back.

[Claire_Pendragon]

in the 2nd example i assume they are Setting the 1st horbar, in the 1st slot, with an ability, but but in the 1st example, he is copying mnk1, pgl1, which i dont understand
how is copying both monk1, and pgl1 working? and what is 1? hotbar1?
