Dynamic action button

[RedAffinity]

Hi friends, I can't be the first to ask, but I'm having trouble finding much about this because I'm just not sure what key words to use!

*SPOILER?*
Anyway, when you're fighting Ran'jit, your little action bar has 1 action that is dynamic. When you click on it, it triggers the action then changes to the next in the rotation. It does this for a total of three actions in 1 space within the bar.

Is it possible in our UI to have this kind of setup?

Open your /hudlayout and select "Duty" on the main menu. By default it is on Basic.
The Duty Action, and the Duty Gauge is what you're looking for.

Do you mean combo actions sharing one button/space? Currently there is no way to do this successfully in PvE, but it's there in PvP (because dev reasons....).

If that's not what you meant then maybe Canadane's answer is closer to your question.

If you mean how to put that action on your hotar, Canadane's reply has your answer. If you mean a way to make your job's regular actions work that way, it's not intended. There's a work-around that sort of makes it possible, but with enough downsides that it's not recommended.

(The work-around involves macros, and setting up multiple versions of your hotbar stored on extra hotbars you're not using. The macros perform an action and then swap your main hotbar to the next one where a similar macro with the following skill has the same hotbar slot. The biggest problem with it is that you can't queue up actions in advance if they're in a macro, like you can if they're activated directly, so it slows down your combat.)

This!

Oh and now that you mention it, you're right in PVP it worked the same! Gosh it would make so much sense to allow this in PVE, what kind of odd limitation..

Thanks for clarifying, all!
