MadGelo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 ofcourse the more skills the better, but there is a point when it gets too much.. my Scoundrel is now level 36 (ONLY OMG) i have more skills (including consumable buffs) that you GOT to use all the time than can be on TWO skill bars.. even with razor naga ( dont use last 3 buttons, too hard to reach) im struggling with shortcuts and its only getting worse.. can really use a macro system like in rift...

Greyfeld Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm level 30, and I manage to get by with just a regular mouse and keyboard bindings. You don't have to bind every single ability to a button. Just the ones you use regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosreturns Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) You do have enough space for all your skills. You can enable 2 more bars. One on left and one on right. I have a level 50 with a regular mouse and I manage to use every skill no problem. Edited December 31, 2011 by chaosreturns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkerus Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I believe as the game progresses you will see Bioware condense some skills. Right now its a bit overkill. I try to use them all but its not even possible unless its a boss fight. PvP and regular encounters are all too short to get good use out of all the abilities.

You have four skill bars, you just need to enable the left and right hand ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dovahbrah Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 can really use a macro system like in rift... Absolutely not. Brb spamming 1-3 buttons to victory, whether it was PvP or PvE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's a boss fight I only use 6 or 7 of my skills. If it's a mob I'll use 7 or 8, because I'll use the AOE ones too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiogra Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Learn your class. learn what spells you need on your hot bars and what you don't, and learn to bind your keys effectively, and get used to them. Then you will have no trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay then, continue whining on the forums rather than taking initiative and fixing the problem yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tajmo Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 OP: The important thing is to find the perfect sequence that fits your play style, both for single and group encounters. Remember that skills also use different attributes (Example: AIM) so be sure not to mix too much since you might get more DPS by using only certain skills. Also important to remember is that you don't use a lot of your skills at every encounter. You probably have a nice instant buff with a long cooldown? I know there's a couple of these skills so don't feel lost between all the skills, just grow into a nice pattern and you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wutru Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Only fanboys say "lrn2play", when it's obviously a problem. Why even give us skills that aren't useful in the first place? If Bioware was competent, they would have consolidated the irrelevant skills from 1-10, then have some of the same skills share cooldowns, in order to replace the irrelevant skills. I know how to play. I know which skills are useful and which are not. There are 3 or more Sniper skills which are rarely ever used for my Operative healing spec. I have 3 bars filled, which leaves 1 bar free. I still have around 3-4 more new skills to learn. So please learn the difference between "overwhelming" and "efficient" playstyles.

I never said it wasnt a problem. Dont get me wrong it is. We either need to be able to customize UI or have mods to adjust it. But either way adapting to only 4 hotbars is more then possible creating the right hotkeys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
