3rd Skills Bar

I don't think it's needed to be honest

Yes, I would love to have a 3rd skills bar!

C'mon Milo/Danny/Rob/Fred/Barry,

Everyone needs a 3rd bar.

remembers me of spellborn with these funny wheels on your skillset...no thank you.
2 are by far enough.

Id much rather just see a dedicated slot for a toggle, or 1 more slot per hotbar.

You can easily survive without. Part of the challenge with ESO is to make your build function with only 10 skills and 2 ultimates. Having a third bar will only increase the possibilities of the so called "Unkillable" builds.

Two are just perfect, we need no more nor less.

Poll misses the "I skilled up my sorc to have a 3rd bar already, and it's great", option.

It might shock you, but I actually like how it is set up as it is. All this wanting extra bars or slots just seems to me like it would change a lot of the mechanics of the game that are part of why I like it over other hotbar mania, stare at cooldown games. Would you like auto-fire as well?

I'd be ok with a cosmetic or cold swappable bar layout for duel spec; but not real time more slots nor bars.

Not necessary. It forces you to learn the skills choices, how they do (or don't) interact, and which combinations to use in certain situations.

It lets you have a strategic aspect, as well. It also prevents you from being invulnerable. (You will run into a situation with any skill setup that will not be so easily dismissed, guaranteed.)

An extra skill slot would change the game immensely. I'm neutral, leaning towards 'yes' on that one. I would certainly use it if it became available and the world would drastically change.

Otherwise, toggles can be toggles, but they should not require both slots - cast it once, it's on, cast it again, it's off. Taking double spaces is just as unnecessary as 20 skillslot WoW type setups.

As solo, you get 10+2. In groups, you get 40+8...it makes you rethink your group dynamic and how your skillset and choices can compliment those around you.

It's fine how it is.

I wouldn't want a third active ability bar, what I would like is a 2-3 slot bar reserved for buffs and utility abilities.

I would rather have more skills on 2 bars or at least slottable skills like summons or inner light that don't take up space

I think the addition of a third bar would ruin a lot of aspects of the game, mainly the "you need to make a choice" aspect. Only having two bars adds a strategic element to every encounter, without that I think ESO would feel like every other MMO.

Also I would think if they implemented a third bar to the game it would contribute to people complaining about PvE being too easy.

lol, well I guess that answers my question. 3rd bar is no good! I would still like to see one to have that 3rd weapon & skills for it easily accessible. I will have to look into the add-ons that were mentioned.

Thanks guys for your impute. Good to know why it would be a bad idea for a 3rd skills bar.

Werewolves have their own bar....

I'm not voting because there was no option for "I don't think a third skill bar would benefit the game.". Your implication that if we disagree, it's because we would "hate" a third skill bar, is a little ignorant of reality. There are many things that I would like as a player, but when looking at overall game design, they might not be the best option. This is one of those cases in my opinion.

Two is enough, and we can switch it by pressing only one key one time.
Three bars will make this process more complicated, and some people will make more mistakes while switching. It's inconvenient and annoying.

I would love to have a 3rd skills bar for a different weapon and skills. It would REALLY shine well for vamp. or werewolf! I dont use werewolf because I have my main weapon and skills for that in 1st bar & the 2nd bar is for resto. staff or a bow. Those 2 setups are mandatory for me so there is no room for werewolf. So, I feel a 3rd skills bar is needed to make this awesome!

Werewolves already get their own skill bar.
Sorcs get a third skill bar.

No need for more.

Instead of a third bar, i'd like them to implement a saved profile option so I can swap between heavy/light tank/healer builds and equipment.

Wykkyd currently has an addon that handles it for me, but something in game would be nice. Something where I can make a selection, push a button, and a pre-configured set of skills gets moved in. As I said, wykkyd does a good job with his addon... so I don't really feel a pressing need for more bars...

console users wont have addon options tho so maybe it could be good for that?

i second this motion, without an add-on and just part of the game. i don't particularly need a gear swap currently for my play style, but i sure would like to quick-swap abilities so i can quicken things up- saves for soul shard farming, 2hand weapon line, dual wield line, single target tank line, aoe tank line etc.

It gets too hectic switching between 2 skill bars, or 3 on my sorc already. I would be in favor of more skills on our current bars perhaps.

Overload doesn't though, that one just kina replaces would weapon light/heavy attacks for the duration...

as many others already said - it actually gives you a third bar

This. I'd like to have skill bar with 1-9 + Ultimate. 5+Ultimate only gives useless restriction.
