Very experienced players may find their skills blindly in the skill directory, but many people, including me, have to look twice when changing skills for a differend build: What did I use last time? Where was that skill I used before? Ok, you can write it down but still... Its often a time consuming procedure to switch between some builds. My solution:
Add a new directory at the top of the skill listings: Favourite skills. In this directory you put the skills you often use.

Or better yet, a menu that hosts a cookie of data for recently used skills and/or spells that you continually swap out: Or better yet, Toggling skill sets. It has already be mentioned plenty of times, but I like the idea of getting to my build skills faster, not thumbing through the full archive.
My 2 Cents.

thouht about that too... they should have made this ALREADY it is very needed...
the idea of favorite skill bars (multipile skill bars) like that u can toggle between and have like 10 skill bars sets...
of course that u wont be able to swap outside towns or in middle of pvp :P
just so it will save ur favorite skills so u wont have to select them again and again if u swaping...
a needed feature that has been put to work in other games... (Risk Your Life for example)

Yeah, on a daily basis, I wish there was a "Save Skill Build" option with "x" amount of room in which to save my builds.

This is similar to my post of having a skill bar that you can toggle (like you do with weapons at the moment). This would also toggle your attribute points. I suppose any idea of quickly switching your skills easily is a good idea.

Toggling skill bars, good idea! Why not make both? A pool of favourite skills and saving skillbars to toggle them in town?
Opp around to merge these 2 posts?

i wonder when will they start doing things?
theres this thread here and another thread i opend about hencmen in tombs
in both threads every1 liked the idea and the ideas doesnt sound hard to make real...
the skill bar switching is really needed as well as more henchies in tombs...
u think they will wait untill the next chapter in 2006 to update these stuff?

i doubt they will wait until 06. they have us the toggle helm/cape update when we asked for it so it may be implemented soon, although thats just my opinion. i dont actually know anything.
