Ability Bloat Returns

The un-pruning has bloated our bars once again.

Now I have to find space for Skull Splitter / Onslaught, New Cleave, Ignore Pain, Spell Reflect, Charge- Intervene separated into two buttons, Ravager finally being useful, Shatter Throw, all those pvp only skills … the list goes on…

And that’s not factoring in the coming shadowlands actives

let me guess you put shield block and shield slam onto your bars, despite being arms, be honest.

Arms is still very simple to play thankfully. The only thing added really is Ignore Pain and Shattering Throw.

Does anyone want to make a song called Return of the Macro to the tune of Return of the Mack with me

Well you never know one might pick up a shield halfway thru the fight :crazy_face:

It’ll be fine just work around it.

And you can macro ignore pain ahead of victory rush since it’s off the GCD.
Shattering throw can just be a shift or alt modifier for your heroic throw bind.

I swear, people would rather just turn off their interface and afk in Orgrimmar or Stormwind so they don’t have to press any buttons at all.

gets ready to duck

Honestly I would

I can save you the trouble and tell you that Onslaught is barely worth using anyway.

Going to let you in on some secrets.

1: Pretty much every recent expansion has added at least one new active ability ,that tends to last for that expansion .
2: The returned class wide abilities are optional to use so if you don’t like them don’t use them
3: Please come up with better bait for a thread.

can’t hear you in macros and unique keybinds :pleading_face:

I agree with the OP, no other game or MMO requires 5 hotbars to play, its absurd. Look at ESO, GW2, Ashes of Creation - you have don’t have 3 hotbars of abilities to mess with. I macro as many abilities as I can to one key just to remove some of the clutter.

XIV gives you 3 hotbars full of skills to use for each job.

This game onl requires 2 hotbars, including optional utility, like say, flash of light, plus 1 or 2 for random noncombat stuff you want such as mounts or toys.

FFXIV requires two for your rotation alone, all 24 buttons of which you’ll use at some phase of your rotation, plus another one for roll utilities, and then you’ll probably keep going for ease of use.

WoW’s “ability bloat” is absolutely nothing, especially since they specifically made sure you don’t have to use them all.
