UI Mod to add more Hotbar slots?

Ethnod

Before we start, Never played WoW it was ***, MMO's for the lowest common denominator so please dont start talking about that game.
In my opinion, and I know in the opinion of a huge amount of other players, 5+1 is just too restrictive. I have 1 weapon skill tree, one Class tree and I am still restricted.
I get what ESO are trying to do and its good just needs tweaking.

So, to that end. Is there a UImod/Addon out there that allows me to have ... lets say 6+1? 8+1 Hotbar slots? anything like that?

It's usually better to just speak for yourself, instead of this fabricated 'huge amount of other players'.

In answer to your question, no there is no mod that lets you bypass the core design behind active skill choices. I'm not sure why you would think there would be.

For one cause I read the forums, talk to players, friends and guild members. Its just a fact, there are a lot of people out there that feel its too restrictive. You clearly dont and nether do a lot of people. but %? ... I dont care, dont want to get into it.

As for why I thought there might be? Cause there might be, I'd rather know if I have that option or not... not that complicated a concept to graps.

I do however appreciate your passive aggressive attempt at helping

Just responding to the tone of the OP, really.

While some would agree with the design being too restrictive, others would counter with it adding strategy to your spec.

To answer the question, you cant get more than 5+1, but there is an add on that will change your spells for you when out of combat, making it easier to change setups so to speak.

Given that any such addon would essentially be cheating, no.

Addons provide quality of life changes, not direct gameplay advantages.

You know that once you reach lvl 15 you will be able to switch weapon set+skills with 1 key? That is 10+2 not 5+1 and is enough for every situation.

You dont need all your skills on bars ready for use. Learn to know when to use what, for example burst heal on heavy hitting boss, HOTs for easier fights, cleanse in PVP, taunts when need to tank/offtank, fire damage for mobs weak to this kind of damage, silver bullets from Fighters Guild for deadra and undead so on so on.
You can switch skills on bars any time out of combat, so it can be done several
times during 1 dungeon run.
About weapon switch: if you want to use just 1 kind of weapon you can, just slot 2 same set/type of weapons in both slots(2 destruction staff or 2 bows, or 2xdual daggers) and then add 12 skills for this one weapon type. Mentioned that as its common question in game.

That would be cheating and bannable

Good point, I wasn't thinking he might just not be aware of that. Since he's asking for 6-8 anyway, that should do him fine.

So you can't have all the spells visible at once? And how would that be cheating? The ability to see your spells all at once and use them isn't cheating. Limiting to five and the other two, one on the left and the other on the right is poor UI design.

Why should we have to switch skills out of combat? That just slows you down. And it's poor design.

Greetings,

We have gone ahead and closed this thread down since it is rather old. Please keep in mind that sometimes it is better to create a new topic, instead of replying in one that was posted a while ago.

Thanks for your understanding.
