You need to specify pvp or pve. Also splitting your bars specifically for 2 separate tasks isnt really ideal and should not be a basic approach as it shoehorned you into ability placement that could work against your passives. Bar swapping is simply a matter of weapon choice, and the only barrier is a single GCD and one extra button press.

Example being, NB healing benefits from siphoning abilities slotted, siphoning abilities include your primary spammable, resource sustain tool, primary single target heal. There are alot of reasons you will be cross pollinating abilities that fufill different aspects of a build between both bars if you are trying to male the most use out of your passives, which include ult gen, healing done, crit rating, max health.

PVE.

And I do bar swap from time to time for certain situational abilities, but I like to focus on one bar for the scenario (solo or healing). I have used this method on Sorc, Templar, and Warden successfully, and have had no issues in Vet DLC Dungeons. My main concern is gearing. I want to provide healing to the group, but also play off the native crit bonus to solo more effectively.
