Keep weapon swap as is. Extend ability bar to 1-9.

1. If I am a Conjurer I have to consume 2 spaces on each bar, meaning 4 abilities for the same 2 skills. If I want Inner Light on both bars, that is 2 skills. We don't really have 10 skills like some people say.

2. Weapon Swap is fine in its current form.

I believe that a limited skill bar forces you to think more strategically. It also requires you to have skills and be competent in your character.

That's exactly my opinion in that matter.
I like systems with decks/builds like that.

Mostly the builds I have could use 1 more slot.

Just 1 more would work for me

A bigger bar, maybe 8 to 10 slots... Plus 2 potion slots & 2 ultimate slots... But no skill bar swapping in combat.

Ability to store at least a couple of alternative skill bars.

Since potions are timer limited, ultimates are ultimate limited and skills are resource limited the extra slots add extra tactics of how to best spend finite resources rather than just slotting 5 skills and mashing away.

And swapping weapons in combat needs to be independent of the skill bar and take some time as it would if one were to stash a staff and whip out a two handed mace... But skills should be readily available as you just know them.

1 more slot and have it assigned only for Alliances war skills.

I honestly would love just one more button on the bar. LOL

having only 5 active abilities is so BORING.

I'm sorry, but if I wanna ONLY use dual wielding on my nightblade, than I'm either stuck just using the same 5 freaking abilities from lvl 15, or I use 2 sets of daggers to switch to use other abilities....but weapon swapping to the same type of weapon just so you can use an ability that is more situational is just dumb.

and all these people claiming it makes you "think" about what you use more and makes the game more "strategic"...give me a break. All it does is makes you choose the abilities that are most OP and are good for the most situations. It gives you no flexibility and makes your character feel like a one trick pony with no utility.

If you had as many bars as other mmos it would be near impossible to use them. Go ahead try moving your mouse around while moving with WASD and trying to hit 9 on your keyboard

Nope. I've keymapped 40 or so keys in my previous mmo and had no issues using any of them. It's just a matter of becoming comfortable with the choices you've made.

There is far too many skills in the game just to allow 5 normal and 1 ulti on the skill bar. Allowing more skills will also help deal with different situations better and may increase skill, since currently people just pick the 5 best spells and just rotate that. Allowing more skills may help counter some of the "best" spells.

Five skills is very limiting and forces spamming the same 1-2 abilities (often just 1 ability) repeatedly, making combat less strategic and more about ability spam and rolling away from red circles. This makes builds more cookie cutter and increases PvP cries to nerf the current FOTM ability.

More ability slots = more chance to include support and CC abilities into gameplay and to enable players to actually use the range of abilities each weapon has.

If the problem is trying to balance PC gameplay around console control design then adding a couple of slots to enable passive/ buff abilities to be included would help a little.
