When you have a mob just about dead , try using electrocute to stun it in place , force speed to charge in , and tumult to finish it off.

its fun

just a tip but jump before you cast tumult.

Agree

EverQuest 1 had a limited "spell" bar of 8 as well i believe and DAOC just had a limited set of abilities in general... and look at MOBA's they only give u 4 abilities and item slot clickies but there is a ton of skill involved in those.

Less is definitely more from my view point. Its why i begin to dislike the game the higher lvl my toons get. When it takes 20 hotkeys to "compete" and still have to click other abilities... i pretty much lose interest.

EQ and DAOC definitely didnt have ability bloat... I don't think AC2 was active long enough to even attempt ability bloat... pretty much just leaves WoW

It depends on the game too, because the action SWTOR is relatively fast you don't really want to have like 50 abilities to manage so it's good that there aren't that many.

EQ has ability bloat more than any other game. Mayb not when you played, but yes it is there and has been for a long , long time . Even pre WoW.

Sure you only get X amount of cast gems which slim down the abilities a bit , but there are so many AA abilities there is no way you can represent them all in any UI.

this is ability bloat

I'm fine with all the abilities, I'd just like all my bars where I want them. Hopefully that's implemented very soon
