!) with "second bar" I meant the potion bar. Which i CLEARLY stated, brother.

We have two action bars if you increase it from 5 to 8 then that makes 16.

Yes.
Idea was to kill the "alternate" or secondary build per character, so each has one build only.
That bar then would be free for -and designated to- potions/food/drink.

Then everyone would simply use wykkyds outfitter instead.
Bad enough sorcs get 3 toolbars...because...special.

I agree with the others.
Choice is a good thing to enforce variety.....ZOS inability to make all skills equally viable aside.

How would that work for console players?

The usual answer for adding more skills to a console controller would be to add a skill wheel that comes up when you hold down a particular button or trigger. It works fine for an MMO like FFXIV because they actually have cooldowns. However, for a game like ESO, the answer is that it wouldn't work.

I do support @Slickst3r for his suggestion of letting a player choose to swap in a 6th skill in place of the ultimate for a bar. I don't know that I would do it, but I'm sure there are some who only ever use one ultimate that would make use of it.

I'd rather see them going towards other Elder Scroll games rather than the boring press next ability key rather than do it yourself. So less is more.

What about making slots for self-buffs only? 5 for active skills, 2 for buffs?
I hate that Rally takes place, but i need it.
I want to use 5 skills, not to refresh 3 buffs and use 2 skills on one bar.

I'd be happy with more potion options, perhaps use the dpad for easy potion access instead of what it currently provides (change quest, 1st person /3rd person, sheathe weapon)
