Skillbars (Total Noob Q)

[dhTrial]

I started my first character (a cleric) last night and rather quickly ran out of space on the skillbar. In Lotro there is an option button for skillbars where you can make more skillbars visible on the screen. I couldnt figure out how to do that in DDO. Surely you arent expected to cycle through your skillbars to trigger skills by mouseclick?

Thanks in advance for any help.

You can roll your mouse wheel while holding control to change the bars I think.

Aside from that, there should be a button on the end of the skill bar will separate the one you have selected into it's own bar. This bar will have two clickies on the end. One to re-join it to the original and put it in rotation, and one to switch it between horizontal and vertical. Even with lots of bars though, you need to hit ctrl+bar# to switch to the bar. I have #1, and #3 bound to letters Q and E in the control mapping.

Click the up or down arrow on the right side of the skill bar. This will bring up an additional bar to view. To detach this new bar from the preexistant one, click the button on the left side of the bar that looks like a box with an arrow coming out of it. This will make the second bar visible as well as the first. Go back to the first and click the down arrow (if you hit the up arrow first, or vice versa) to bring back you're original bar. You now have two bars showing. You can do this for a lot of bars.

Thanks for the quick solutions.
