Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has already been said, but I didn’t see a similar thread in the last few pages. It would be nice if we could switch the positions of our unlocked weapon skills on the toolbar.

Normally just rebinding our hotbar keys would work, but it isn’t so simple on an elementalist that switches elements all the time. My staff skills are like this:

Fire: Single target skill, small AoE, single target, defensive, large AoE
Water: Single target, large AoE, small AoE heal, large defensive AoE, large AoE heal
Air: 1-3 target skill, single target skill, defensive, defensive, combo skill
Earth: Single target, large AoE DoT, shield defensive, line defensive, immobilizing DoT.

It would be great if I could put all of my offensive skills on the first hotbar slots and the defensive skills towards the back or whatever I want.

Right now, my fingers are bouncing between the F-keys and then trying to find out which skill I want to use and it’s like “Okay, the AoE skill was on hotkey one for fire, now it’s on… four!” And then I switch elements in two seconds and have to figure it out all over again, all the while constantly looking up and down and up and down from the action to make sure I don’t get smeared by the boss while I try and get the most out of my switching.

Like trying to learn a fighting game, I’m constantly fighting the urge to just start button mashing my attack hotkeys between element switches. I’m trying to memorize an efficient “rotation”, but it would be nice to have the tools to make it easier by arranging my hotkeys.

Edit: Okay, I decided to stop trying to switch between all four elements and do a couple of attacks each. It was nice putting buffs on everybody around me by switching attunements constantly, but the stress from trying to pay attention to a dozen things at once is ruining my fun. I’ll just stick to two elements for the sake of my sanity.
