    Default UI Improvement: Fixed Metamagics

    Warning: This is a story of my dream/suggestion. This is not real.

    Some metamagics are toggled on/off situationally, but the problems are that I always forget to toggle them back to frequently-used state, and toggling metamagics is really lazy and uncomfortable. For example I switch off Extend when I buff, then sometimes I cast Haste without Extend. Another example is casting Heal while kiting with Blade Barrier. Heal can be used to attack undead. Yes, so it should be Heightened, but who wants to cast Heightened Heal to heal players?

    So, we need mechanics to decide which metamagics to use per shortcut (Not per spell, you may want to use Heightended Heal along with non-Heightened Heal).
    The picture below represents all of my idea:



    Just like my another suggestion, You can open a "Property" window by right-clicking on a shortcut.
    Some options can be specified to control which metamagics should be used or should not be used. If you left options blank, the spell will follow the current status of metamagics toggle.
    For example,

    • /emp : Always set Empower on
    • /noemp : Always set Empower off
    • blank: Follow the current status of all metamagics

    That's all, thanks for reading through. Happy questing.

    +1, though I think it could be simplified just by allowing us to create spell "sets" on the hotbars.

    Make a new tab in the spell tab, where you can drop spells and add whatever metas you wanted to them. Then drag the corresponding spell set to your hotbars, and use them as normally now.
