WHM: Controller or Mouse/Keyboard?

[Katryn]

I'm on controller to help with mobility since I have limited use of one of my hands. I physically can't use a mouse and kb at the same time.

What is this L2+R2 thing I keep hearing about? If there is a way to get more buttons without cycling through hotbars, I'd definitely be interested. Thanks.

Expanded Hold Controls. You can press and hold L2->R2 or R2->L2 to gain access to a secondary crossbar of your choice

It's in Character Config->Hotbar Settings->Custom->First option at the top (i have mine set to access hotbar 2)

You can also enable WXHB there, which allows you to access yet another crossbar by double tapping R2+R2 or L2+L2 in rapid succession. This one can be more trouble than it's worth if you can't hold your trigger with a consistant pressure. If you twitch you can accidentally cast something you really shouldn't have. For example; i was trying to cast a simple Aero 3 once but i accidentally double tapped and LB'd instead. I turned it back off after that

You shouldn't need access to any more than 2 bars at a time, anyhow. I put all my semi useless or rarely used skills on bar 3.
