Instead of using 'Z' to toggle between active bars, you could use [Shift] + 123 to set the active bar.
Yah, great ideas everyone! Seems were all on the same page here. I think about this stuff constantly when playing our favorite game. Another thing I think about about a lot is how easily the spell bar gets switched on accident and your using wrong sp ells with hotkeys, by the time you figure out what is wrong, YOUR DEAD! Uggh, so sick of it...anyone have anyway to stop this? Be nice if they had a lock button like the other.
I never use the bar switch key, and have gone so far as to disable. Takes far too long to switch/cast/switch.
Instead I bound the 12 actions to shift 1-12 (with a couple of the more important spells bound to a more easily reached key).
As to the original topic, I completely agree. Two more bars (preferably vertical on the side or floating) is absolutely necessary. I'd use that for mouse spells (summons, mounts, buffs, emotes, etc), and still avoid the 'switch' key. IMHO, they wouldn't even need to list the new action slots in the key binds.
BTW, I do remember this topic from a very long time ago (in which I basically gave the same response). I believe it may have been during beta. So thank you for bringing this up again.
