View Full Version : Some skills can't be hot-barred?

Hi.

I have several characters but the melee/fighter one is confusing me.

I allocated points to both defensive stance and berseker, but I can't hotbar them for some reason. According to the manual, those skills with a circular icon are active and can be initiated using a right click. Unless I've gone mad, berserker and defensive stance both have circular icons.

On a related note, I have a magic user with a lot of spells I'd like to be able to use at the click of a button. Am I correct to say that I'm only alloted that tiny number of hotbars, and if I want to use another spell I've got to stop, open the skills menu, add a new spell and then go? Take healing for instance. If I want to heal a companion but don't have that spell in my hotbar, I have to literally open the skills menu, manually add healing to the hotbar --- at the expense of perhaps another important spell --- and then cast it?

I really love this game a lot but I have to say --- if what I've said above is true --- that's a pretty bad, and very odd, design decision.

Update for anyone else who had this question. I should've known.

The defensive stance and berserker are place in the left-hand hotbar area, not the right. :pout:

Still haven't figured out a way to get more hotbar options on the right side. Perhaps an extended UI will be the second mod created by the community. The first mod, of course, being an improved camera or control scheme. :)
