Please, tell me why my build is wrong and lacking focus?

so you are using 2 traps and 2 cries to bypass cooldown as well as toggling arctic armour cause you obviously lack the mana regen to sustain it

then you talk about some random skills which you would like to use for no reason

and you ask yourself how you run out of space on your skillbar ?

btw you can also switch to a secondary weapon set to do half of the things you mentioned

Well he sould have the right to make mistakes ( take a lot of skills and try to make something useful off)

Yes... obviously Immortal Call and Devouring Totem are completely random with a tanky build, I mean Physical Immunity and Healing for tanking? Totally random lol.

And I do have the mana to sustain Arctic Armour, whilst standing still. Which is what I build around, hence the Lightning Warp.

As for using 2 Enduring Cries and 2 Fire Traps. Most builds that use those skills do, some even use 3, for very obvious reasons. Likewise for me, but apparently because I enjoy playing something a tad more complicated than just mashing the same attack over and over again that's a no go...

And yeah... I could use a secondary weapon set. I could also swap out skills mid-combat, it's not like I can't use those skills. The skill bar isn't an absolute limit on that, it's not preventing anyone from using a dozen Cold Snaps, Enduring Cries or Fire Traps, especially if you write a mouse macro to instantly switch out skills. The limited skillbar, isn't preventing that.

All it's doing is making it incredibly user-unfriendly to play anything more complicated than spamming the same skill over and over again along with a very, very small selection of supplemental skills.

So no you dont have the mana regen. hence you use 2 skill slots to work around that

Sure you can do it, but if you do you gave up those skill slots for the advantage you get

Any macro that performs more than one action is bannable, as is anything that sends it based on a timer.

It's fine to have a button that causes /oos, or /remaining or casts an aura, but having a timer to repeat actions or a macro to cast all your auras is not allowed. This is because these are things that normal players cannot do, so they give advantages in terms of playing speed.

I haven't edited any posts in this thread but if you could please do so that'd be appreciated. Thanks, guys!

Seems to me you just want an edge by using multiple skills to bypass your build weakness. Myabe you just need a better build

Switching out skills is one action and something everyone can do, shouldn't be bannable..

It takes multiple clicks, but is still one action. Just like /oos takes 6 key presses but is also one action. Hell, considering the desync situation, /oos gives much more play benefit than something as inconsequential as chain-casting auras.

And really?

Using multiple skills to bypass build weaknesses? How outrageous! Can you think of a game requiring you to use multiple skills in different situations because each skill has strengths and weakness of it's own? God, such horrible design that must be.

That's how it's supposed to work. You're supposed to use multiple skills to make up for weaknesses. You're not supposed to be able to do everything with just 1-2 skills. That's good game design, when you have to use multiple skills to make up for build weaknesses! You want that situation!

I wonder what Qarl opinion is ?

Since we are waiting for GGG opinion since FIRST post.

To address the OP, you have 3x enduring cry on your skillbar, along with a 'move only'.
I also use move only and it really sucks to loose one skill just cause I don't like the left click mechanic. Two small changes could free up 3 skills on the skillbar.

1. Two options for left click: option A is the current mechanics. Option B is left click is permanently bound to 'move only'. You then get the ability to rebind the 'left click' box to another key, and the 'left click' box works like the other hotkeys (ie, using the skill in the 'left click' box while not aiming at a mob will cause you to use the ability, not walk to where you clicked).

2. If you have multiple gems with the same level and same supports and same quality, so that they are identical gems, they are merged into one and you get to cast them as one skill. If you have 3x enduring cry, you get a little charge counter like you have with traps, and after casting it once you can cast it again immediately by pressing the same key, but a different gem is activated. So you could cast enduring cry 3 times quickly by pressing 'w' (for example) 3 times quickly if you had 3 enduring cry gems.
