Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been mentioned before somewhere but I haven’t seen any just like it and it is driving me crazy.

I would like to see a great overhaul on the hotkeys. I’m not sure why the 1-5 skills are locked into place and cannot be moved around. I have tried to change the keybindings ( ex: 1 becomes 4) but when the picture/skill description doesn’t actually move it becomes kind of confusing to hit the right one. I’m not sure why it has been done this way, as customization of hotkeys is central to nearly every mmo ever.

Eventually I could get used to it, but then I start using a new combination of weapons I find myself hitting the wrong ones again.

Here’s an example of how annoying it can be. When using a 2h sword, my “teleport to target” stock skill slot is the number 4. Since I want it on 2 I move it there. Now the skill pictures are in the same place so my bar looks like this: 1,4,3,2,5. I use this most of the time and get used to it.

Later I add a sword and torch as second weapon set, but here the teleport to target skill stock slot is the number 2 and since I have reversed the keys it is now 4.

either way I cannot set up my skills the way I want them. my skills will always be reversed, be it 2 or 4. I cannot have both of them on the number 2 like I want them.

I would like to see this changed as I find it very uncomfortable to have both my skill pictures out of order and to have the numbers change around when switching weapon sets.
