Thanks a million, u have saved me a couple of hours of heartache

I have set up my UI with two skill bars at the bottom. However the second skill bar has no value for the windows, how can i hotkey the skills i place there? There arent enough windows on the first bar to hotkey all of my most used skills there. In most MMO's there is the feature to make the second skill bar "ctrl 1-2-3" etc etc, however im just not seeing the option to do that here, am i just missing something glaringly obvious?

Im not saying i cant kill anything lol Its just that the class doesnt have the rogue feel so far. On my SI i feel realy powerfull, maybe i spoiled myself by playing a caster class first before the IA. Every MMO i have played a melee class as a main, in TOR i decided to go caster main as they can "usualy" solo most content for extra gold. I was going to roll BH as my PvP toon but every class on the starter planet was BH... there where literaly no IA's so i rolled one instead. I always do well in PvP, even on sub par melee classes. I just wanted to know if / what extra melee - CC skills i had to look forward to as i leveled up. I havent watched any IA PvP clips, i spent all my time looking at BH clips, so i was just asking for a bit of input from the seasoned IA players. Im not the kind of person who number crunches to find the best spec... im much more hands on. I usualy get a spec from the forums and then tweek it to my personal playstyle. As far as the IA goes, i havent seen any specs on these boards. So i was reaching out and asking if we become more viable as we level. Regardless of the answer i will most likely persevere with the IA because i have come to realy enjoy it... some light at the end of the tunnel is all im asking for

At level 13? Or are you talking at later levels? Im merely asking if the operative gets more melee skills and CC's at later levels..

I started playing TOR knowing that i wanted a SI as my main and a BH as my alt. I leveled my SI:Sorc up to level 20 before starting on my BH.... i have to say i was tired of being a FOTM class after SI so i deleted my BH at lvl10 and went IA. I have just got to lvl13 as a operative, my problem is with rotations and survivability. I try to stay in melee, but the CD's on my melee skills means i have to stay at distance for many fights and there is a severe lack of CC options when fighting multiple mobs solo. On my SI i can easily solo all content in my level range, but the operative just seems so weak. I realy do enjoy the feel of the class however and want to keep playing, i guess im just looking for some reasurance that things do get better, that more melee skills become available and more CC. Any insight would be greatly appreciated
