    SCH (and ARN + SMN) Hotbar Clutter

    Warrior's abilities like Fell Cleave and Inner Beast share the same icon slot and the seam cooldown. SCH and SMN pet abilities share the same cooldowns, but not the same icon slot. E.g. Fey Illumination and Fey Wind. While the CD of Fey Illumination is 120s and Wind is 60, if you cast Fey Wind, then swiftcast summon Eos, her Fey Illumination will be on CD.

    A lot of the SB changes were to reduce hotbar clutter, but for some reason pet abilities were neglected.

    SCHs have been doing this manually since ARR. Make a macro tied to Summon I and Summon II that replaces the hotbar locations with the abilities of the fairy being summoned. For simple and dirty:

    /micon "Summon"
    /ac "Summon"
    /crosshotbar pet "Whispering Dawn" #2 #1
    /crosshotbar pet "Fey Covenant" #2 #2
    /crosshotbar pet "Fey Illumination" #2 #3

    /micon "Summon II"
    /ac "Summon II"
    /crosshotbar pet "Silent Dusk" #2 #2
    /crosshotbar pet "Fey Wind" #2 #1
    /crosshotbar pet "Fey Caress" #2 #3

    change number positions as you prefer, and add Obey/Sic protocol if you want. Just don't hit the summon fairy skills by accident or it will swap your bar commands even if you cancel the summon.

    Yes, yes and yes. The one which always bothered me the most was Embrace. I know they want us to use the pet hotbar, but it sucks and I'd rather just be able to put my fairy abilities neatly on my bars without jumping through convoluted hoops.

    Would be a nice QoL change, yeah... tbh I'«m so used to my hotbar change macros this kind of didn't even cross my mind, but it DOES make sense...

    Or, wait. No it doesn't. Who even uses Selene anyway?

    I'm kidding. It would be a nice change, yeah. Sorry for the salt, I couldn't help it
