I think its quite frustrating to be able to only have 5 skills out at a time!!!!!

lets start a vote , or discussion on who thinks this would be a viable addon/fix in the near/far future! Thanks guys

    5 is fine.

    Promotes meaningful choice.

    Of course, folks could go back and forth and argue for 6. 7.11.20 but really, at the moment we can get the job done with 5x2 +Ults.

    Embrace the constraints! Learn to love the bomb!

    Yeah, I'm glad it's limited. Really makes you think what to use. Keeps people from setting up some mindless 8-skill macro to push while they eat doughnuts.

    Oh hey, it's that topic again. Haven't seen it for a long while, what, it must have been a whole week? :wink:

    I think more ability slots neither to be a "viable" or even useful addition to the game, nor a fix (for a non-existing problem to boot). The existing limitations make for interesting choices that really matter.

    The present system is fine, just as it was last time the issue was raised, and the time before that...

    Think tactically!

    Sometimes, I just wish I could have six skills. Just six for that one extra spell I can't have.

    But that forced decision making is part of the fun of making good builds. I like it. Most people like it. It's not going to change. I respect your desire to have more spells but that's just the way it is. Sorry.

    5+1 is fine, this is not WoW and we do not need 500 quick slots for every skill on the screen at the some time.

    Limited Skill bar is good and makes the skills have more meaning. ZOS should changed that. Just need 5 (or 10 with quick swap).

    I think that would only really be neccesary if a lot of the skills had very long cooldowns.

    I'd like to see an extra slot or two for toggle skills. They could even be limited - such as available only outside of combat. If one wanted toggle skill control available during combat, they must use one of the "normal" five. Also, the toggle slots don't change with weapon swap.

    Personally, having 5+5 skills and 2 ultimates is quite ok.

    There are only 2 things that ever make me wish we could have more active skill slots: passives that provide bonuses based on how many skills you have slotted from a particular skill tree, and toggle skills.

    As far as being limited to 5 + 1 and 5 + 1 active skills in combat goes, I think it's just fine.

    While there are often times I think "damn just 1 more ability" I am very glad it is 5 plus ultimate. I like that you have to make decisions for your bar based on situation vs what so many games do which is "1 set up for all situations" I vote for staying with 5

    just turn the 2x5+1 into 10+2 that would help alot without changing the balance as it would reduce redundand slotting thx to the clunky bar switch and would balance toggle skills and pets aswell.

    Seriously. Again. Why do you need so many.

    I really only use 4 and my Ult if things get dicey.

    But then I specifically crafted my build to not need a 5th so I could use that space to level up my alt weapon while I'm questing.

    If we had extra slots, you do realize that the issues we have with balance will only get worse.

    Just choose carefully. And if you can't choose carefully, do some research online (Youtube, google, these forums) and choose someone else's recommended build.

    Easy.

    You only played WoW with 500 hotkeys?

    Oh, you poor, limited lamb.

    I dunno it keeps me down to 2 weapons on my weapon bar. Inner Light, Boundless Storm, Critical Surge with Pulsar and Crushing Shock. Probably a good thing. ;)

    Nah, would be too awkward trying to hit all the keys from 1-0 on the keyboard, even worse for me using an ergonomical one where the 0 is about a mile away from the 1^^
