Return of Reckoning

My SM is now level 40, and so I have unlocked all abilities (besides tree spec abilities ofc)
But there's a lot of abilities, and all of them are useful if used on the right moment.
As experienced players know, both SM and BO can be tricky to play due to the class mechanic (that I love personnaly) and the fact that all abilities are useful no matter your spec.
But sometimes I get lost with all these skills, and it's especially annoying and frustrating during a fight.

So, the goal of this thread is to share pictures of your SM action bars, to see which one is the most well-designed and pleasant to play with, to help less experienced SM players (like me).
Of course you can also just talk about it.

Get the addon called PlanB, it changes your hotbar based on which stance you are in. You have to search the download link yourself.

Are you using G-d's gift to MMO's?

Ok, I just tested the PlanB addon.
It works fine, but that's really not my thing. I feel a lack of control over my abilities with this addon. Probably because I can't see them until I'm on the right balance.
No I'm not using this mouse, but I'm sure it's handy.

I originally was going to use PlanB but the class doesn't have so many buttons as to actually warrant using it imo.

My setup:

Zabis got owned.

it helped me a lot practicing skills against pve mobs
it seems all skills are useful but main spec skills are the one you will use frequently
that skills are in 1~5 keys plus alt key
1 or 2 starter skill : main 1 is on key 1 other is in mouse range, taunt with alt
4 or 5 middle skill : 2, 4 key and with alt key
4 or 5 final skill : 3, 5 key and rest are in mouse range
using key bind :
T, R, F etc to keys from 9 to = as WoDS, sudden shift etc

with some practice i'm sure you will find your own setting

I recently changed my action bars, and I practice against pve mobs too. Still need some work.
Thanks for the advices!

Even with all this time spent on the SM, sometimes I still use eagle's flight instead of quick incision, because the eagle's flight icon is a foot, and quick incision is a snare

It would be nice if the icon of eagle's flight got changed for something less confusing.

I always just trimmed down the skills to what I used most often. Mostly those that had the highest value due to points in that tree. Usually 2 abilities for each stance, some have 3. Then set a place for my AOE moves. As I am a key user (for movement and hotbar stuffs), I have the F keys bound to the upper left bar and regular numbers on the lower left bar. Right bars are for things that are lesser used and can be hit with a mouse click.
