You’ll get an additional 4 further down.

I apologize for ZenAssassin's inability to explain.

Yes.

There are only 4 slots for MELEE abilities and 4 slots for RANGED abilities, which means, yes, you can only use 4 abilities for each, 5 if you count the 3 bar "ultimate" (but that does not go on the bar, you simply press R)

You do get 4 more slots later on, after reaching a certain level, but they cannot be used with the other 4. This is essentially a "respec". Another bar of abilities for a certain build you may be using or trying.

That's not quite right. You get a second set for melee/assassin abilities, and can swap between them whenever you want by pressing down while holding the ability button.

Personally I have a sneaky ability wheel and an open combat ability wheel.

8 total for melee, and 4 for ranged

Thanks for all the answers !

no no. i knew that i cant use all but i thought a bar of 4 is a bit small for all the possible think. since i definitly have heal and ranged assassination in my bar leaves me with 2 slots.
but now that i know that i will have 2 bars, i can spec one for undetected / stealth and switch to the other one when im in combat.

You have to upgrade "Man at Arms", at bottom of Abilities tree (lower tray), twice. The second upgrade unlocks the second ability wheel. You can't perform the upgrade until Level 20.
