Ability Fast Switch : C + MW / Q + MW / X + MW

[Tanit]

Would be great to fast switch ability :

In my experience playing the Beta, and having only 2 hotkeys Q & C, I found it NOT EASY to change ability mid fight, while running in corridor or dungeons.
like changing my C from SHIGAWIRE to COMPEL keeping the BINDU SPRINT Q for an emergency escape.

Hotkey + Mouse Wheel : change ability (new one can only be used after previous cooldown)

Since we can simultaneously use only 3 , this change would be huge,
this will make us enjoy using almost all the learned abilities but also would incredibly add new mechanics, and strategies.

PS: donno if already discussed :)

Enjoy the game boyz !!!

No to fast switch (hotkeys), but yes to presets that we can set up in advance then click to swap into.

The idea is that they want you to have to sit and swap abilities, so you just set a timer for 5-10 seconds to swap out when outside of a safe area.

So uh... There's three slots of active skills. You unlock a third in a side quest, making your example a tad redundant. It's ok, I didn't find out where it was, and the other trainers, until after the beta ended, either.

As for "adding new mechanics and strategies", what will actually end up happening is just adding more stun and debuff skill spam, which is already a potentual problem without people chaining instant parries into double hitting special melee swings, or switching attacks while the others are cooling down.

The system's fine.

As previously mentioned, yes for saving presents, no for quick switching, otherwise there is no point in having only 3 skills equipped and it will remove from tactical preparation.

But this would be great for the tools/weapon shortcuts, 1 to 9 when we have 10+ tools and weapons is definitely not enough. It would be nice to put all combat related on the default one, and all tools on a alternative bar, keeping them nice and separate.
