It isnt how much how you setup your hotbar as knowing how its set up. If you are familiar with where you have your spells and know what combination you should use it isnt any problem having it all over the place. Better then to rearrange it and then forget how the new system is just cause youre used to your old system.Dont have a screenshot on this comp, but basicly I just ran Single targets in Primary Hotbar, encounter and AEs on Secondary and Manatoys, debuffs and other stuff on Tertiary (or however its spelled). Have a forth hotbar too, for stuff not so often used (as funspells, Call, Carpet and so on. Its a bit messed up, but everytime I try to chance it it ends up the way it was, cause I know the setup so well, as it developed on its own, and thats what I've gotten used to.

<div></div>Im at work, so can't screeny...but heres how I setup.I use Profit UI.4 hotbars with 2 extra at the sides.Primary = Single Target.  Nukes, Dots, DetauntSecondary = AOE. Nukes, Dots, a few abilitiesThird = Debuffs, Power Feeds, UtilsFourth = Group Augments ie BuffsMy other 2 hotbars at the side have all my other crap in like fun spells, horse, items and recalls etc.Actual Spell List iirc is1. Root, Thwart, Distortion, Flay,Aura, Netheros, Pyre, Scourge of Shadows, Netherlord, Broodlings, Vulian Null, Concussive2. Grasp Root, Apoc, Absolution, Nebula, Rift, Chaosstorm, Null Distortion, Gift, Catalyst, Focused Casting3. Poi/Dis Debuff, Curse, Curse, Pillage, Ghastly Contract, Endow, Manastone, Heal Arcane, Hex Doll4. Buffs don't matter so much as they are not generally cast during battle<div></div><p>Message Edited by LloydPickering on <span class=date_text>01-22-2007</span> <span class=time_text>04:34 PM</span>

I'll basically go along with the others and say there really isn't need for a picture imho.  I stack 5 hotbars right on top of each other in the bottom center of my screen, and I make them fairly small so I can still see.  I'm a keyboard user though, not a mouse clicker, which I know is different from most people I've talked to.  B/c of using the keyboard, I set up my hotbar simply.  I group my single target nukes in one area, my AoE's in another, buffs another place, etc etc.  Much easier for me when casting if I have the spells lined up in the order I typically cast them.  For instance, if your typical casting order is Netherous Realm, Corrupt Gift, Dark Infestation, Aura of Nihility, Tumultuous Maelstrom, Chaostorm, Vulian, FHS, Apoc, etc etc.  Why not just put them in order, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on.  Or Alt 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.  For me it's really just easier if I can have a thumb on the Alt key or whatnot and just step up or down the number line with my spells.  I'd imagine even if you played by mouse clicking instead of keyboard number hitting this would still be most beneficial.~Tsaron<div></div>

Yah i just reset my hot bar ill post later becuse its 3:24am and not playing eq2 atm. But i set yup soul flay and i made it so recast of that spell is about .05secs quick [I cannot control my vocabulary] recast. Then i put distortion....Then soul prey.....and scorch......and thats all i use in a raid and im allways casting them 4 seppls and get good dps in. I dont aoe or group aoe a lot becuse on a lot of names corrcer mezz adds, and castion apok or other aoe takes to long cast by time i cast a rift i cast them 4 spells........(i allways use dbuufs first)

If you aint using AE or encounter spells in raids, whats the point with a warlock compared to another wizzie? If the adds are Epic they cant exactly me mezzed for long, and FHS+Apoc is still the best spells we have imo. Rift is nice to precast when tank pullsa group back, as its almost no aggro. Also procs and such.I have same setup when solo as on raids, as with the exception of roots, I use all the spells I usually do in raids, more or less. Depends on the situation.
