More than one quickbar??

khuzad · 09-20-2007, 03:44 PM

Is there a way to have more than one quickbar visible at one time?? I play at 1600 x 1200 and there is a lot of unused space across the lower left part of the screen that is begging for a couple more quickbars...

Get used to using the keyboard shortcuts instead of clicking on your quickbar to cast your spells. You're provided with 4 quickbar slots (F1-F4 to switch slots) and in case you haven't discovered it yet the shortcuts are the numeral keys (1-10) on the top of your keyboard. It will soon become second nature especially after you're satisfied with your spell setup and remember where you put 'em in the quickbars.

I never had to click on any spell ever again to cast it and this significantly increases my reaction time in PvP battles.

You make a very good point... although I have played alot of mmorpg's I do not have much experience with PVP...

I will work on that... =)

Thanx for the guidance!!

I use my quickbar, but I do not use the numbers, I click the spells. So for me, to switch between multiple quickbars, I hover my mouse over the quickbar and use the mouse-wheel to switch between them.

The main problem I always encounter when clicking the spells (apart from the extra fraction of a second spent hovering the mouse) is that sometimes the game fails to register my clicks or that I'd accidentally drag the spells out of their slot. Both are a real pain when you're in the thick of the battle and badly need to get the first cast out before the enemy does.

I'm also one who likes to constantly pan the camera almost 99% of the time to be more aware of my surroundings so taking the mouse away from this to hover and click makes it even more inefficient for me.

yeah, I also pan my camera all the time. But I'm such a marksman with my mouse

i'd love to have a 20 slot bar too (i also play on 1600x)

but it would probably give an unfair advantage to people with better computers and that shouldnt be

btw, i hit the first 5 slots with the numberkeys and the higher ones by mouseclick.
and i made a xbindkeys script so i can switch bars with shift+mousewheel anywhere on the screen

With your mouse? I thought you archers attack with your bows...

Doh! You better tell me how to do that ASAP.

Yes! It is possible to have more than 1 quick bar on the screen at one time.. the max that i have had at once was 3 quickbars.. but 2 is best...

that gives you.. f1 f2 f3 f4 and 2 extra bars....
on average i use the 15 set quickbar... sometimes 20 set quickbar...
20 skills on screen...
