Chain combo button

[Raldo]

I don’t play DRG that often, but I’ve never had issues with hotbar space for the job. My ShB hotbars all fit onto 2 crossbars with free slots left over.

"Hotbar space" doesn't always mean "I'm 100% out of hotbar space, and I need more slots." It can also mean "this hotbar layout just feels awkward and no amount of moving skills around seems to improve things."

But while you were setting up all your hotbars for various jobs, did you ever say to yourself, "gosh, I wish I didn't have to put this skill here." My biggest issue recently that a chain combo button would solve has been with my AOE skills. Many jobs gained an increased number of AOE skills, and I like to keep them on keyboard numbers 7+8+Ctrl7+Ctrl8, but some classes now have so many AOEs that I've had to shove stuff over onto Alt#, 9, or elsewhere, which I'm not accustomed to using for that purpose.

To bring this back to DRG, when I bother to setup that hotbar, I will almost certainly say to myself "Ugh, a 3-part AOE combo, two circle-AOEs, and two line-AOEs? Sheesh!" I will find a way to make it work, but it won't be comfortable. Condensing that 3-part combo down to a single button would go a long way toward making switch back and forth between jobs less jarring, since I try to keep similar buttons in similar places across all jobs.

Back in HW, I had a similar problem when I realized the 1-2-3 combo was going to 1-2-3-4. My 4th combo buttons were kinda jammed up on the Ctrl hotbar, while 1-2-3 was just 1-2-3. Yuck. I could've moved EVERYTHING around to make 1-2-3-4 line up, but then I'd have to move around a ton of other stuff, and if I do that, then I'm going to be absolute garbage until I re-train my muscle memory.

It's cool that you don't seem to have this problem, but do you just reset all your muscle memory between expansions or something so you can re-place all your actions in new spots now that the new actions have juggled all your shit around?
