If we compared hot bar setups , we’d probably both tell each other your hot bar is FUBAR. I mean really, the hot bar has nothing to do with it anyway, it’s all about the keybinds, if someone is so inclined they could play without the hot bars visible (so much for design \o/...
Well to be fair the default WASD controls are an active detriment to most rotations just because they forcibly combine the hotbars and movement/camera binds in a manner that makes both feel cramped. In pretty much every MMO I swap it out immediately and use the same setup I have used since I was a kid.

The reason WASD remains popular is purely because it overlaps better with action games that copied their standard controls from 90s FPS titles. Once you actually have to press 12-18 buttons regularly on top of movement and camera management an RTS setup works way better.
