Not enough shortcut keys? -How to use 5 skills and 1 stance

I have 5 skills and 1 stance but there are only 5 shortcut keys. If I put the stance on one, and then turn it on, then change that key to the 5th skill, the stance goes off :frowning:

I am new, so am I missing something? Or is this an issue to be fixed?

you can only have 5 specialized skills and 5 shortcuts. some builds rely on one skill to be proc’ed by other skills, which enables them to remove that skill from their skill bar and use a 6th, unspecialized, skill. so if you can figure out a way to proc a skill (for example, idols can cause Smite to proc on hit with a throwing attack, so you would not need to keep Smite on the bar), you can make your idea work.

None of my skills proc like this, so I can’t use 6. I think this is not a great design feature

it’s a restriction the devs have built the game around, and there are ways to make it work with every class.

what are you playing? maybe i can help you figure out a way around it.

I wouldn’t worry about stances too much. The latest dev stream heavily hinted at stance skills (those without skill trees) being removed in the future.

Who knows, maybe they make a comeback as passives instead.
