Guild Wars 2

Hello, I’m pretty new to this game after playing WoW and SW: TOR. So far I have noticed a few things with the controls that are frustrating me.

For example, I’m playing a Ranger and with the longbow the spell on 4 is a knockback. With the short bow, the spell on 3 is the bounce backwards move. I want to have both of these spells bound to mouse-wheel click, but because I can’t seem to move them around or set a hotkey by specific weapon, I have to have them on different keys.

Is there any way around this?

no im afraid not you jus have to get used to it, those skills are always the same. Changing weapons gets different skills for combat in 1 to 5. sorry.

That. Is really saddening.

An expensive mouse and keyboard will do the trick (along with the ability to figure it all out).

I would like to see them add the ability to switch the weapon skills around in the hotbar using the same method already applied to utility / elite skills. When out of combat simply give us an up arrow to click on so that we can switch the 1-5 around in whatever order we personally prefer. There’s nothing wrong with choice and the current system doesn’t prevent anything other than that by existing.
