How do you feel about the number of action bar slots?
The 3rd option may seem a bit confusing so I'll give some examples of the abilities I mean. Abilities that require a 1 time activation could include 'Magelight', 'Bound Armor', 'Summoned Creatures' etc.

I think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activation

Cydone✭✭✭✭I think more action bar slots would be very usefulI think the current setup is EXTREMELY limiting given the amount of abilities you can get with 300 skill points. I'm not saying there should be a slot for EVERY ability.....but I think 7-8 would be nice.0 -
Kayvee✭✭I think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activationI like being limited to 5 abilities per weapon, however I believe that one-time activation abilities like Mage Light shouldn't count toward those 5 slots. Or at the very least it should remain active through weapon swapping so that it doesn't have to take up TWO of your available 10.VR Dragonknight Mitigation Healer and Ardent Flame DPS

My feelings Exactly...
If I have toggle ability on one Bar, i feel like it should remain active when i switch to the other bar.

Ltownatrain✭✭I think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activationThank you for someone bringing up the toggled ability thing. I use leeching strikes on my NB and its frustrating that it has to take up two spots of 10. I feel that a slot only for toggled abilities is a good solution.
Also not sure how others feel about this but I think a slot only for PVP abilities should be added as well. On wabbajack (NA) I rarely see people using the support or assault abilities and I can't help but think that it is because they simply are not worth losing a slot over so maybe by having a slot just for them might encourage people to pick them up.
At the same time however, I don't want the ability bar to get too crazy because I do like that it makes you think critically about what abilities are going to be the most useful. If they add a toggled slot then I think thats enough otherwise maybe just adding one more slot on top of the 5 might be a nice addition.0 -
guillaume.trudelub17_ESOSoul ShrivenI am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.Current setup works fine. Forces you to think strategy/tactics and make choices that suit the situation you're in and foresee as much as you can. Being ready at all time for too many situations kill any sense of planing / adaptation. I like ESO's more strategy oriented combat that fast action twitch PvP.0

aeroch✭✭✭I am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.I like 5+Ultimate a lot. Only thing I'd like to see added are preset bars that can't be swapped in combat. It's a little cumbersome to swap skills in PvE or PvP and presets would make the transition a bit more fluid0 -

Varivox9✭✭✭I am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.I like the limitation. It makes me really think about each skill and how it relates to the other skills to work with my build.0

✭I think more action bar slots would be very usefulThe limitation is stupid. Even with 1-9, you have to make meaningful choices, especially with slotting items.

lao✭✭✭✭I think more action bar slots would be very usefulcurrent setup is a failsafe for bad players. give 2x20 slots atleast so we can have some proper combat that might even require abit of skill.0

KrodhameyerSoul ShrivenI think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activationI use clannfear, twilight, and bound armor, that gives me 2 buttons to play my game with. I hate it. I want them to do something.0

how about just make one set with 12 hotkeys and 2 ultimates, since weapon swap is completely laggy and useless in any sort of fast paced combat situation0 -
Digerati✭✭✭✭I am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.the current limitations provide for equal parts diversity and commitment. Keep it! make weapon swapping more reliable :-P0

kasain✭✭✭I think more action bar slots would be very usefulAt least give us a slot for soul magic. Or let the Ultimate slot be used to Soul magic and Ultimate magic.0

niocwy✭✭✭I am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.I voted that I am satisfied because the "More slots" option is too vague.
I'all for one or two more slots, but not more than that.
Also, having the weapon swapping fixed would be nice.

KrodhameyerSoul ShrivenI think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activationI think the best idea is to have passive slots that you can choose, that way you don't have to worry about the more buttons problem that zeni is trying to avoid, and the buttons we use actually have a purpose, other then just sitting there (looking at you, clannfear, twilight, and bound armor)0

The way the game works now , i for an example have no need for extra slots on my templar , i have no class skills at all to add there.
So yeah , adding this would be a buff to sorcs ... and that is it. By doing this , they would need to nerf every single skill that you could slot there. So that either you could only pick 1 or 2 , by making the mana cost much higher , like 20/25% your max mana each or by making them much weaker in general.Edited by Nox_Aeterna on 27 April 2014 07:28"Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

daemonbarberSoul ShrivenI am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.Happy with the current setup - third option would be game breaking. There is no reason to grant players with 'toggle' abilities an extra slot.
I would like to see quick slots usable in direct binds though.0 -

Well not exactly, it doesn't have to be that way. Sorcs suffer the most because the skills are passive, and it's annoying as it decreases the buttons you can use. 5 becomes 2 at worst. They could make an addition and have passive skills for ALL classes. And just add some active ones for sorc for the passives they already have.
In fact, by suggesting 20/25% of max mana, you are actually making the problem worse, not better. Passive bar is the way to go, chuck clann and twilight and bound and maybe make 2 more, and give the other classes passive skills to counter.Edited by Krodhameyer on 27 April 2014 08:361 -
I think they should add more action bar slots, but make them only usable for abilities that are a one time activationi am very much in favor of the 5 slots, but it could be a good thing if we would simply add another category to ultimate and quick slot for things like magelight or sorc pets.
I said think about, so balance and stuff needs to be discussed.0 -

I was only wanting 2 more, I put up a post before this and got annoyed because somehow the 2 slots i suggested they add, suddenly turned into 20-30 slots to the commenters.

Tarwin✭✭✭I am satisfied with the number of abilities I am able to equip to my action bar.The limitation on the number of hotkeys has helped me with my skills. Once I have 10 I like over two weapon switches, the rest are passive
