The solution to controller issues is just bite the bullet and swap hotbars. Its an adjustment but once you make it, life is so much better in game. I remember the overwhelming feeling when i was forced to move to a 2nd set. And it took a few days to get used to it. But 5 years later it was MORE than worth it.

You just have to bite the bullet and work through new muscle memory. 2 full sets to toggle. I later picked up another half bar with 8 actions with the left+right trigger bar. I put long recast items and rarely used items there (potions, immunities, stun/silence, number markers).

With 2 bars you cant get 'lost' cycling as its a binary toggle (3 would be terrible). And the double bar is always available no matter which one you are currently on.

Brains are good at adapting. Just make it adapt.

Odly enough with all the culling i now have empty spaces adter dealing with HW/SB now in ShB.
