How many skills is too many?

[LalaRu]

I think the sweet point is a max of 24 skills, you can bind all of them to different letter key on keyboard, and using just two hotbars. If you need more, the system is more complicated than it can be, imho.

Right now, I just hope there will never be more need than three hotbars (36 buttons total) to get all skills at disposal.

Then, the change job system needs something simple, I actually had to bind each armor set to a slot of an hotbar, using three of them for all the jobs/crafting/gathering jobs we have. It is a waste and the only other option is do it manually passing thru' the caracter window, and that is quite an annoyance when you switch job often.

tl;dr:
more than 24 is too much, imo.

Use on every character 3 slots for one class from each disciple (except the disciple of the current class)
Then fill up the other slots on DoW jobs with the other DoW jobs, on DoM jobs with other DoM jobs and so on.
Now you can switch to every class with just switching first to a class of the same disciple.

Quite smart, will use just one hotbar instead of three
Just a little work to set it not shared, and fill it correctly for each job. Good hint.

I ended up setting up a set of macros to hide/show hotbars, so now I essentially have one extra showing beyond the three I use for abilities, and on that one is buttons that bring up or tuck away the hotbars that have the various jobs/things I want to activate (even have one for emotes/minions, as well as the ability to hide/show the quest and objectives list). Took a while to set-up properly (and essentially requires having a gear set saved for each class on top of each job in my gear set list, though how many it requires changes based on how many you plan on hiding/showing), but works wonders for saving screen space.

Would be nice to have an easier to navigate/use job selection menu option though.
