Skill / spells on the hotbar

[City Builder]

Hi,

How do I go about activating spells / skills that are not on the hotbar?

So for example my top hot bar is for the mouse and it offers me left, middle and right.
The hotbar under that only gives me 5 options but I wish to add a 6th, how do I go about doing that?

Also is there a way that I can hotkey portal scrolls?

Thanks

you cant add more hotbar slots, you can only change the skills you set to the 8 slots.

and you cant add items to the hotbar, it is for skills only. as for the portals scrolls, there is a portal gem you can put into your gear

Okay so then I'm basically limited on how many skills I can use at any one time... Bummer

I'll have to rethink how to play this.

Thanks

Auras do not need to remain on the hotbar. Only need them there to activate or turn off said aura, so you can activate the aura then switch the aura to a different skill and it will still remain active

Thanks, I found that out shortly after my previous post. Except that I don't generally use a second weapon so I put the auras in the slots for the second weapons hotbar and as I go into a new area, I switch weapons, activate my auras and then switch back to the first weapon and start bringing up minions as I can.

Would love to see an added hotbar just for auras so that I don't have to do it this way.

If your auras are in your secondary weapon setup, when you switch back to the first setup, your auras will turn off automatically.

I've not seen that yet. The only issue I've seen is that when I switch back to my primary weapon I have to re-assign the primary attack (left mouse button) to my fireball as it automatically assigns it to the default attack, which does me no good.

Edit, maybe they're not auras? Herald of purity, clarity, artic armour

Skill gems will only work when placed into currently equipped and active items. As mentioned above, if you slot your auras into secondary weapons then they will only work when you're actively wielding those weapons. If you turn the auras on and the switch to your primary weapons then the auras will deactivate because they are essentially no longer equipped.

Ok gotcha. I’ve got my auras in non weapon slots and just using weapon switch for a aura hotbar

If your build uses a Golem you can slot that to LMB & it'll act as move only, & will only cast if you hold down shift. I think the same applies for desecrate, too.
