Problem with Bongos hotbars, please help

by Reiker » Tue Mar 03, 2015 6:39 pm

So I'm pretty new to WoW and I'm having a hell of a time with my hotbars. I'm using Bongos as per a friend's recommendation but he doesn't know what's causing an issue I'm having.

This is hard to explain but essentially what's happening is abilities are duplicating themselves. Let's say for example I'm in defensive stance and I put Taunt on the first bar, hotkey #10, it'll also show up on my fourth bar, hotkey #3. If I drag and remove it from the fourth bar, it also disappears from my first bar.

It seems to be stance dependent as well since that particular button isn't duplicating myself when I go into battle stance.

I have to completely redo my hotbars constantly and I've spent the past hour trying to fix this, so if there's anyone out there who knows more than I do about this and can help I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Edit: It also kinda goes in order too. For example, Bar 1 Button 7 = Bar 4 Button 1, Bar 1 Button 8 = Bar 4 Button 2, Bar 1 Button 9 = Bar 4 Button 3, Bar 1 Button 10 = Bar 4 Button 4.

I had the same problem on my rogue , when stealthing . Basically I would suggest hiding bar 4 and afterall 7 bars are more than enought I guess . That's what I did and now it's working fine for me . Hope that helps !

you have to go in the options (/bongos) and set the paging options. By default i think it is swapping skills according to the stance you are in. Spend a little time with it and you will get it sorted. It is fairly straightforward.

I'd suggest using a different action bar addon, such as zBar

Bongos doesn't work properly when switching between stance's. Most classes have no problem with Bongos though :D

Bump, for if anyone knows how to fix the Bongos issues.

Tried Bartender and Zbar and didn't like them. They made certain bars vertical with no way to make them horizontal again. They're a headache to work with. Bongos is pretty nice to work with, except the issue of it duplicating buttons across different bars.

What you're looking for is in the "Stances" menu.

Should say something like "Switch 1 by 6" - which means when that stance is engaged, it will shift bar 1 up by offset 6, which means all your Battle Stance bindings are going to be on Bar 7.

At default settings, bar 7 is Battle stance, bar 8 for defensive stance, and bar 9 for Berserker.

Might be a good idea to change Battle Stance from "1 offset by 6" to "1 offset by 0" if you want that to use that as your default bar, otherwise bar 1 is wasted. This will cause headaches if you ever have to play your character with an unmodded UI, however.
