Here are some examples of things I’ve done specifically for my hunter. I also have my mainhand weapon there, just in case something goes wrong with a switch, and I need to get that back immediately. I have it configured so my bows are all right in a row on my hunter, making it easy for me to switch damage types quickly in a raid. When I mouse over the fishing poles, which are all that are visible initially, you see the extension drop down, with my usual mainhand, my grouping offhand, bracelet and ring, and my soloing offhand, bracelet and ring.Īnother way I like to use TonicBars is for mid-fight weapon-swapping. The quickslot consists of a 2 slot row, that pops down only when I hold down, to give myself breathing space. Thus, I can equip it, then equip my main legendary weapon and my other off-hand. You see, a fishing pole is the only 2-handed item a hunter can wield. My main tool in the weapon-swapping progress is a fishing pole. When I join a group, I don’t want to have to track down my grouping gear to swap it with my soloing gear, as I have enough to do to prepare, including retraiting, making sure I have potions, tokens, and scrolls, and making sure my legendary points are spent (it’s a big pet peeve of mine when I forget to spend my legendary points after a reforge, but I digress). For one, I am always looking for a way to speed things up for my characters. This is a very handy and unique way to use TonicBars. This is set to trigger only when out of combat. The travel bar starts as a little icon, a single quickslot, right next to my radar, then when I mouseover, it expands using the extensions feature to show all of my travel options, such as my kinship house, personal house, racial travels, and milestone destinations. Something I have on every character is a travel bar. And finally, I will display a few examples of class-specific setups that have made my life MUCH easier. Some, like the weapon-swapping that I mentioned earlier, I use on multiple classes, but not all of them. Some of these are general, which I use on all of my characters.

I have very specific things for which I like to use TonicBars, and I will go through a few of those setups. Extensions are really useful for hiding icons until moused over. Extensions are based off of quickslots, so you must have a quickslot, even if it is only one slot, then the extension can be added by right-clicking the quickslot. The thing I like most about TonicBars is the extensions feature. It filters the options based on your class, so don’t worry about getting quickslots accidentally being set to come up on blocks if you have a hunter for example, it will not even have that option. For classes dependent on combat responses, such as parries (hunter, guardian) or crits (burglar, warg), TonicBars can pop up a quickslot in response to those class-specific actions. You can also have them only show up in combat or out of combat. Quickslots are either present on your screen all of the time or pop up when you hold down a certain key, such as or. You want a constant row of food vertical, then a mouse-over to pop out horizontal rows of various types? Done. Both quickslots and extensions are able to be set up exactly as you prefer: if you want 20 slots, then you can make 20 slots. The first is the quickslots, which are the foundation of TonicBars, and the second is extensions, which are branched out off of quickslots. The plugin basically consists of two parts. When it comes to things as simple as travel or as complicated as mid-fight weapon-swapping, it makes my life so much easier.

I have recently been making full use of it on all of my characters. TonicBars is a wonderful plugin for Lord of the Rings Online.
