Separate Quickbar Wheel for Companions and Assistants - Or More Quickbar Slots.

Shara_Wynn · October 29

Now that we have 8 companions, I can't fit them all onto my quickbar wheel alongside my assistants and thought it would be a good idea to have them on their own quickbar wheel.

Perhaps we could replace the now mostly defunct "tools" quickbar wheel for use by our companions instead.

Or better still, just allow the quickbar wheels to hold more options than they do at present. That way I can squeeze in a few more of my fav mementos and emotes!

A second customizable wheel would be awesome.

Don't touch my Tool Wheel! I use it too much. If anything, add more tools like "Dismiss summoned" for Sorcs and Wardens to enable a quick and easy way to dismiss their pets. And I daresay... a /relooadui tool. There are plenty of slots available, get creative.

The Allies Wheel already has enough room for 1ea DPS/Tank/Heal for companions, as well 1ea Banker/Merchant/Deconstructor/Armorer/Fence. While it would be "nice" to have every companion on the wheel as well as every assistant... is it really that high a priority?

And myself personally, I'm opposed to adding another wheel to those already in game. It would just make it messy.

Is it really necessary to have all eight Companions on the wheel at once? Most people really have one or two that they like to have around and have geared up in their desired role, while the others are relegated to the depths of the Collections Menu for all eternity.

I do think that adding more wheels is just making more clicks through to rotate all of them, so I wouldn't want to put too many new ones on. The one wheel I think does need to be added though is specifically a Siege wheel, since it's really necessary to have a bunch of siege AND a few potions AND anything else you need in Cyro, so the general one is always too full and needs to be swapped when you're PvPing. But adding too many more sheels would just mean you'd spend just as long clicking through your wheels as you would just going into the collections menu and selecting what you want.

I think if they added another wheel(s) it/they should have to be turned on in the settings menu, like WoW lets you add extra skill bars above the existing ones and along the right side of the screen. That way people who like them can use them and people who don’t want more wheels would be happy too.

Edited to add: I love the idea of tools for dismissing summons and reloading ui!!

IMHO, the Allies wheel should automagicly turn into a Siege wheel while in Cyro, since you can't use allies there anyway. And would negate any need to add a wheel to the UI.

I like that idea. While at it, allow players to pick a primary, a secondary and a tertiary wheel. Use Ctrl (or any other user designated key) as a toggle rotator to indicate which wheel gets quick use via Q and any addon provided key presses.
