Battle Command Design -PLEASE FIX IT

[Rydin]

Again as an avid gamepad user I have no issue with speed in selecting abilities on the bars, even using all 3. Then again I set my bars up strategically so that at any given time I'm usually no more than a few steps away from the next skill I need. It's not as bad as it used to be when we had manual attacks and you had to return to 1 on the first row every couple of seconds.

As far as seeing cooldowns is concerned, that's never even occurred to me as an issue lol. During a tough fight I generally have quite a bit on cooldown and I can easily tell when it is or isn't available. The only thing that hinders that is the timer sync bug.

All true... but it is functionality vs convenience
Do we NEED to see all three.. no.. but some people would really prefer it if we did...
Can you get by selecting all abilities along rows... yes... But who doesn't like more convenience

I'd support it as an option, however it doesn't really make the act of selecting anything easier. That's why people who play with gamepads should put a little thought into their skillbar setups, taking into account the fact that it's just as easy to switch bars as it is to move along them.

Ya I do that and I like the current system. I also didn't take into account keeping tabs on cooldown timers which I think would be a nice feature as well. I agree with you, give the option but don't force us into it. I see a lot of merit for wanting changes but I'd like to be able to fit the game UI to my preference. I think that's a win win.
