simple way to reduce button bloat without changing gameplay

Uhm guys, you can already do this in the game without any mod.

Assuming hotbar 1 is your regular and hotbar 9 is your AOE. Just create 2 macro to switch between them. I do this on RPR 'cause the absurd number of buttons it has.

/macroicon "Soul Scythe"
/hotbar change 9

^ put that macro on your Hotbar 1.

/macroicon "Soul Slice"
/hotbar change 1

^ put that macro on your Hotbar 9.

Than voila, you don't have to redo and add any keybind, so can just 1-2-3-4-5 your AOE set like usual. Work well on DNC too, but DNC doesn't have that many button to begin with.

I do the same thing with RPR for the exact same reason. I've been working on converting other DPS and tanks over to that system, too. Doesn't work out quite as well on healers.
