We’ve been reading all of the feedback throughout beta regarding
Danza dell'Ombra and the desire to have it use the “Stealth action bar.” To get right to the point, after an upcoming hotfix, Subtlety Rogues will find that
Danza dell'Ombra swaps their main action bar to the alternate bar that is used while in
Furtività.
For a bit of context on the late change to our thinking on this: we rarely allow automatic functionality (such as action bar swaps, or macros) to choose between core damage abilities on the player’s behalf. We believe it’s important that the player has to make those choices themselves. The Rogue
Furtività bar has always been a minor exception to this, but for many years, the
Furtività bar was only active for the single ability you used to open a combat, and was not seen again for the duration of combat (other than with
Sparizione). The ability to bind your openers to the same buttons as your rotational abilities was a convenience that didn’t affect your use of abilities in combat.
However, the new
Danza dell'Ombra (and to a lesser extent
Sotterfugio), has resulted in some Rogues regularly using openers during combat, as elements of their rotation. In this case, the
Furtività bar changes from a minor convenience that lets you place once-per-combat buttons on more convenient keybinds, to actually making regular, mid-combat decisions for you.
That said, after following the ongoing discussions and carefully considering your feedback, we understand the desire for consistency with other abilities that allow Stealth-only actions. Given the gray area that
Danza dell'Ombra is in, and the widespread feedback that using the
Furtività bar would be more consistent and intuitive, we’ve decided to go ahead and allow
Danza dell'Ombra to once again swap your main action bar. This hotfix is scheduled to live with weekly restarts in each region.
A few details for players who use macros to further manage their buttons:
