Wanted option to have synchronized hotbar layouts across all crafter jobs

[MellowMink]

With the exception of maybe one particular ability that can only be used for up to three jobs that have unlockable crafter soul crystals, every single ability across crafter jobs currently has corresponding versions across all other jobs that have the exact same effects, with the only differences being purely visual, such as with the illustrated action icons.

What this means to me personally is that if I want to change a hotbar setup for one of my crafter jobs, I realistically end up making the same change individually across my seven other crafter jobs since the abilities that I tend to use don't really depend on which crafting job I currently have active.

With it possibly being an optional setting in case some players do want to have unique hotbars for whatever reason, can there be some option to keep hotbar layouts synchronized across all crafter jobs? This could also include other general actions like Sprint, Teleport, Mount Roulette, Return, and so on. I don't like them not being synced and wish there was some overall hotbar that I only had to make and manage for all eight crafter jobs at once.

A similar idea would also apply for gatherer jobs but specifically for Miner and Botanist; however, that only involves two jobs instead of eight, plus Fisher is a totally unique job in contrast with the other two gatherer jobs, so I think that this would probably have a lower priority than adding my proposed option for the crafter jobs. It could be considered by developers as well though.

What does everyone here think of this? I'd really like to see it added as an option personally, unless the next expansion truly plans to start adding lots of functional differences between every one of the current crafter jobs.

This is personally why I use the hotbar copy command, while a nice feature your idea basically just does what that command does.

Also realistically your idea also works with the “shared hot bars” feature. I have 2 side hot bars that are shared to use for quick job changing between my crafters or gatherers, and a few slots of another hotbar for actions like mount, sprint, and limit break or actions like /dig. You can make your crafters all share the same hotbar(s) since they all share the same skills. Or if you don’t want to use the shared hotbar option the hotbar copy command works. /hotbar copy alc 1 cul 1 would copy my alcs first hotbar to my culs 1st hotbar.

So while your suggestion is nice for those times I change a skill on one bar for one crafter and forgot to change on the others it’s already largely covered by the copy command and shared hot bar features.

Decided to write a separate gatherer thread for Miner and Botanist as well under their own respective forum, but this still applies for crafters, even more so since there are way more of them.
