Nope. The current two are too sluggish to effectively swap them fast enough. Adding another one would be a pain.

Sure, but first I have to learn how to get off the floor @2am of the second, but something tells me that is not what you were asking...

Nevermind.

I primarily play healers, tanks, and a pet sorc, and from that perspective I would like to see one additional ability on the bars so I wouldn't always have to lose something when I add purge or some other specialized skill.

I am not sure about a 3rd bar though. There's kind of an elegance to what we have. The sorc third bar worked because it was linked to an ability but having to cycle through three swaps or have two different key binds if it was a regular bar seems like it would be annoying.

Please, no. With the whole "bar switching" mechanic, juggling 3 would be a giant mess.

(meanwhile, I remember playing games where you could cover the screen in active bars. In WoW, I only used like 7 or 8 hotkeys, everything else was 'clicked' with the mouse. It was awful. Also, looked ugly having the screen buried under rows of boxes.)

I'd like to have quick bars (always active) for around 50 skills, like in other MMOs.
I'd understand 6 skill slots on a phone, but this is a PC game.

There have been PC games with limited skill slots for ages and ages. Long before there were phone games.
It's a design feature, and another aspect of picking what gear/class/skills/etc you'll use. /shrug


(but hyperbolic comparisons about things people don't like is standard for game forums. Just like how any graphics people don't like "looks like a PS2 game", even if it's 10 times better than a PS2 game.)

Also, judging by the weapons you want to switch between, you want to switch between the three roles which is a bad idea by itself for group content and unnecessary for solo builds.

Because of how this game works, I don't think it would be appropriate for our main skills to be on more bars.

What I would like, if I had the option for, is to hotkey multiple consumables/potions to more than one key. I would then be able to use the potion I need in any given situation. But I doubt this will come to be, and I'm fine with the game as is in this regard.

It would likely be complicated to create a good design that works for consoles and PC. On PC we can easily set a keybind for each bar but the limitation of the controllers probably does not have room for such a design and what room it may have is probably best suited for something more significant for the game. Rotating among the three bars with one keybind would be a bad design.

Good point but if the UX could be made to handle this 3rd Bar, would you be in favor or no?

The other decent option - another ability slot.

I should have clarified 3rd bar with agreeable UX

Tanks for your point!

I would rather have a second quick slot wheel, so there would be a front bar wheel and back bar wheel.

I only use the current quick slot wheel for my healing potions and don't have anything else in it. It is just too big a pain to switch around to other items and is even worse than bar swapping.

Two things come to mind,

One is that most people don't want the hassle of dealing with a third bar, understandable.

The other is that a lot of people do complain about not having enough bar space.

The logical solution would be to expand the existing bars.

With my high ping, I'm not able to swap to the other bar 99% of the time, so a third one would be useless for me. I'd LOVE to have the keybind setup I had in WoW and RIFT....

I would love that too. Loved it wow and especially in Rift.
Actually after 10 years in wow and 5 in Rift, the ui setup and the sabre cat mounts from wow are the only things I mss, oh and the AH I really miss that.
