Organizing Your Skills Bars - L2 Olympiad Guide

Organizing Your Skills Bars

Another important thing you need to do before joining the olympiad is to organize your skills bars, you need to have all the necessary skills to fight ready to be used in less than a second. When you are fighting there's no time to think too much or to find a skill you need in the Alt + K, because a little mistake or one second wasted might be the reason you win or lose.

In the image from my skills bars as a duelist you can see that I try to keep the most used skills in the main bar, while other things like macros and important buffs in the middle from the others, because it gets faster for me to use and find them. I also try to keep a good pattern in the macros, which helps me to identify them as fast as I can, and what I need to use less I keep on both extreme corners.

This is the organization that works for me, but each person has a different way of thinking and may find another way better. Other important thing is that I play without the "enter chat" option, so I use only the skills from the first bar on the keyboard, and everything else I let to the right hand on the mouse, so if you play with "enter chat" your organization might be a little different, since you will be able to use almost everything on the keyboard.

Skills Bars For Buffs

Also very important, you need to create your skills bars to get buffed when you get inside the olympiad, to get the staff buffs and also your self buffs. Here I suggest you to use skills bars that won't be shown on your main bars, because you will use this bar only before the matchs starts in most cases, and I also suggest you to use the soulshots and spiritshots here since you will need to activate them only once when going inside the arena.

I always use mine on the 4 bar or beyond, and after getting ready I change to the main bar with the keyboard shortcuts Alt + 1. You can do this to easily change your main bar between all the other 10 bars, going from 1 to 0, but for this to work you can't have the "enter chat" option activated. Be sure not to forget any important buff on your skill bar.
