Maybe it's just me, but I like to have my elite in the first slot. Unless it's some assassin build where the elite is part of the chain or a farming build that requires a specific casting order.
So who's as delirious as me?
EDIT: Wrong section, damn PS3 browser. Any chances of a mod moving it to riverside inn?
Where do you place your elite?

when i monk, i have the elite in slot 2, unless its healers boon then its in slot 7. for my ranger, the elite is slot 1 unless its a stance, and then its slot 5 or 6. on my sin, its where it needs to be for teh chain order. mesmer if its an interupt its in slot 1, but if its anything else its usualy slot 3 or 4.
Bowstring Badass
In slot 1 or 2 depending on what class and if I play sin it is either in the middle of the chain or at the start.

The only slot it will never be in is slot 8, because that's my rez slot.
wind fire and ice
Ele,slot 3-4 usually depending on the elite.
War slot 2.

Mes usually slot 3(no reason,just always had it there).
Derv slot 3.
Ranger slot 1 usually.
Rit slot 1 or slot 6.
Para slot 7.

Luminarus
Depends on how often I use it, if I use it every other skill then near the beginnin. If its a fire and forget then further back.
_Nihilist_
Depends on the Elite and how it fits into my build.
Normally I have a set up something like the following:
[Rez][Utility/Stance][Skills 3-8 in Casting/Chaining Order]

If it's part of a skill chaining, where it goes in the chain. Otherwise, slot#1 if it's the first skill i'll use while attacking. If it's a skill that i don't want to use too often of use by accident usually slot #4 or #5 which are macroed to my mouse buttons, which makes them easily accessible but less likely to be used in case i hit the wrong key (small laptop keyboard and big fingers...). Moderately used elite skills which won't cause problems will usually go to slots #2 or #3. Finally #7 if it's something like HB that don't need to be applied often and has an effect that lasts long.

Operative 14
Usually it just has to do with the type of skill it is.
When I make my skill bars, I always place my attack skills on the left side, my support skills on the right, usually with the 8th slot reserved for a resurrection skill. Normally, both go from left to right according to how strong they are as a skill. That being the case, I suppose my Elites usually go to about the 4th slot if they're an attack skill, and the 7th slot if they're a support skill.

Although before UA nerf, I did have that in the #8 slot cause that was my rez.
It's a pet peeve of mine when people have their rez not in slot 8. Or when its really unorganized. I don't get having stuff like Fire Attunement in slot 3... unless its a farming build..
credit
When I monk it's usually in my third spot, anything midline or frontline it's usually in my first.
Konig Des Todes
Depends on what type of elite.
Usually I have my set-up as:
Attack Skills, Minions/Spirits, Hexes, Spells, Enchantments, Rez

Arkantos
Depends on what skill it is. I usually keep my skill bar organized.
You just got tomahawked
I can not have it any place besides 3. Even if it is a specific casting order, i will put it at number 3.
Bryant Again
Depends on the skill. Currently with Dragon Slash it's at 4, since it's usually not the first skill I use.
Yichi
I close my eyes and throw a dart. wherever it lands is where I place it.
Yawgmoth
Depends on the skill and build. Even the same skill can sometimes (but rarely) fit better into a different slot.
Cale Roughstar
Almost always in 3 or 4, since those are my reflex keys, and are bound to the side buttons on my mouse.
GWEXTREEMFAN
where ever it fits
no real system here

Trylo
depends. i use weird keys for skills (aqertcvb) so generally not cvb (6,7,8).
r (4) is usually an important faster casting skill (spirit bond, shield of deflect, magebane, power block)
basically:
a - 5e faster cast (RoF, Patient)
q - 5e longer cast (Guardian...SoA)
w - 5e powerful (SoA, WoH)
r - 10-15e faster cast powerful (SB, PS, infuse, other)
t - utility (RC...draw, GoLE, Aegis)
c - utility/defense (faster recharge) (Holy Veil, stance)
v - utility/defense (Aura of Stab., HB...stance)
b - rez/cast'n'forget (channeling, GoLE)
i like monk. thats how my bar works. weird thread.

Depends on the bar, certain elites I put in certain places based on the skill bar I'm playing.

3) heal
4) interupt or utility
5) spamable damage spell/attack or interupt
6) spamable damage spell/attack
7) spamable damage spell/attack or IAS
8) res
elite goes where ever it is needed

The Lost Explorer
i usually put my Elite skill on all my chars where ever it fits in the chain of skills makes things easier
Aldawg Thanes
Well since I play on my laptop, I have my elite as skill 4 with my left hand on skills 1,2,3,4, that way my pointer finger is always on my elite. I play as a Ranger and will have a stance skill in slot 1, useful attack skills in 2,3,5 and then skills that are not used as repeatedly in slot 6,7 unfortunately my hand skills in using slot 8 is very limited, so I almost never use that skill. One day I will get a desktop or a numeric extension for my laptop, so I can effectively use all the skills, lol.
Reverend Dr
I organize bars by function. More freqnetly used skills tend towards lower numbers, more important reactive skills likewise. Interrupts always on 2-3, bull's always on 4, reactive prots (guardian, warding) always on 5 (Q). Then its just a matter of where the elite's function places it.
jackinthe
everyone tells me i'm backwards. slot 1 is the rez, 8 is usually the elite :/
sph0nz
Depends on the build I'm using. Usually my elite is either on 1, 2, or 3, but for certain builds I place it in 6 or 7.
Hanging Man
assasins chain usually in the middle
with wars depends on build
casters kinda just put it on the skill bar

casters kinda just put it on the skill bar
Aera Lure
For me it depends entirely on the build. I treat an elite like any other skill. I place it where it makes sense in however I have ordered the bar.
Some_guy
Hmm.. Depends on What Class I am playing...
Paragon - Usually 6 or 7, unless it is a chant thingy, Then it is usually 3..
Necro - Almost always 1. And since I normally use SS... I.. Umm.. put it first.
Ranger - Bow Attack - Slot 1.. Anything else, Generally 6 or 7.
Rit - Generally around the middle of the bar.. Unless I am using my Rit as an MM (lol), Then slot 1.
I generally am just playing these classes right now..

cosyfiep
hm, usually someplace in the middle ...3 4 or 5...my ele never has it in slot one--thats attunement, I think hers is slot 5 or 6 ....right now my skill capping monk has his in slot 8 and the cap in slot 7 (and the res has been left to the heroes), my ss slot 4, ranger 4, mo/r slot 3....so yeah someplace in the middle (and yes usually slot 8 is a rez of somekind for most of my characters, though some have been capping or such and just arent carrying one).
