Has anyone's Hotbars and/or cast order changed with ROK?

Mine did, but only temporarily - I had malicious moved out of the 'lineup' for doubleup since it was previous tier at the time. Now that Barroom is Adept III I just haven't got around to moving it back. A few clickies got moved as well, and more crap crammed on there now since crafting is in its own place.

Someone else said everyone's hotbars were confusing to them... lol same here. I logged in a friend's swash and had him send me a screenshot so I could see how he had his hotbars set up - on my own I was putting them together like some wild tetris puzzle, trying to make sense of it. His screenshot showed there was no order to it. Looking at my own, I think this is like ... toon theft deterrent... if someone picked her locks and took off with her one night, they'd have to wipe the hotbars and start from scratch to make sense of that mess I've got going.

It USED to be set up: stuns/interrupts/snares to the right, heavy debuffs/stealth/back attacks to the left, ranged and AE 3rd bar down - over time things sorta got shuffled around & squished in there.

Top hotbar not shown has evac, pathfinding, call, keymap macros, bags sprint, yell, etc.

One of these days I will get over the strange mental block I have going and just set up the nostromo.

I'm on a PvP server if any of the stuff on there seems strange to have on a hotbar. I also raid with an 80 Swash and and 80 Brigand.

So has anyone figured out optimal casting order? I bounce between off tank and brig depending on who is raiding and our main brig usually whoops me by 500 dps or more. We have same gear (basically) and he only has like one or two masters I dont. I'm looking for anything that may help my dps and I think casting order may be a part of it

Silly question but are you taking into account melee swings between CA's and adjusting for haste/delay? A guildy mentioned a UI that shows you a meter or timer for them - he couldn't find it & I haven't found it yet (if someone does, please post it!).

But, auto attack something and watch and literally count between swings. Remember to adjust when you change weapons & with haste buffs (/weaponstats). From what I understand (please correct me if wrong), your CA's can interrupt your autoattack swings...so if you're sitting there spamming buttons as fast as you can, you're losing dps you could be doing from timing your autoattack swings between CAs.

If you're doing what a lot of people do when they think of "timing" CA's: "CA...pause...CA...pause..." instead of actually watching your swings/counting, you're going to be out of kilter when hasted/weapon delays change. 4 second swing on a weapon means 3 or 4 CA's in there before the next swing. A 2 second means a change to the pattern...etc.

Someone brought it up last night and I realized I'd been stuck in a rut - my dps went up a bit - but better for me was a reduction in agro issues. I'm a self admitted retard when it comes to pulling agro, so being able to keep the same dps, much less raise it, makes a huge difference in overall/zw for me (not to mention guilt...and a reduction in "using my rez reimani macro AGAIN hahahaha!" smartassery in /raidchat. :P)

This will modify your experience bar to show weapon delays in realt time for both melee and ranged weapons. It is intended to work with profit UI.
