Third skill bar

How come all classes don't get 3 skill bars like Sorcs do? Isn't that a tad unfair? This is not a nerf thread, but a buff the rest of the classes to get a third skill bar.

What do you all think?

    Sorcs don't get a 3rd bar by default, they have to sacrifice an Ultimate slot for it, and are limited in their options for putting skills on it. I don't think that's unfair.

    I would accept the argument that its unfair to give sorcs such a cheap, effective, non-situational ult when almost all otger class ults are a joke.

    I would also be open to the suggestion of creating an Overload-like ultimate in one of the guild skill lines that could be unlocked by any class.

    But I don't support your premise that sorcs get 3 bars as a class default, or that all classes should get a 3rd bar to be "fair".

    I'd say just nerf Sorc rather than re-balance the other 3 classes. Nerf Overload, buff Atronach and Silence. Silence used to be awesome, best ultimate in the game. Wroebel absolutely gutted it.

    Wrobel doesnt want to make all the classes equal.

    I think most sorcs would trade the 3th skill bar for a spammable dmg ability though.

    Sorcs have a lot of toggles so I think they deserve the third bar.

    Because that's the way it is, it doesn't need to be changed because it's never proven to be a game changer in competitive gameplay. If anyone believes this is the reason they're not performing as well as a Sorcerer I think they may need to address their bigger issues first. :innocent:

    Yeah, but could not there be third skill bar with similarly limited options in the crown store?

    I imagine it's due to them having 3 toggles.

    So potentially 6 slots used for 3 skills.

    pretty much this... especially in TG DLC..

    The third skill bar is only as effective as the WW third skill bar, give it a go.

    When you use the Overload ultimate you get a seperate skill bar while using it. You lose weapons and can only put class abilities on it,.

    This would be P2W. Especially since it would not come with the same costs a sorc has. Not a good idea.

    Try playing a sorc if you want the 3rd skill bar that much.
