Cyceling through Chain Skills

[SaculRennorb]

Should we actually have the skill cycle on chained skills / traits with attached skills or should we always display all skills?

mightyteapot: Autoattack chains seem to not display facts except for the first attack
mightyteapot: -> it seems that right clicking cycles though the auto chain but I'm not sure if that's desirable
mightyteapot: -> that seems to apply to all chain skills

A collection of pro and contra points:

Pros (do the cycling):

• Takes up less space.
  • If we want to show all kills in bundles we will need to think of a different solution for that.
• Focus is always on one box, declutters the screen.
• The current implementation works similarly, but only ever shows one tooltip and not the minified versions of the remaining ones.

Cons (always show all):

• The game always shows all (i think).
• Very rarely makes it hard to think about a skill where multiple blocks would be interesting.
• Code complexity (relatively minor).
• It prevents you from using the normal context menu, which in turn prevents you from opening the wiki page in a new tab the 'usual' way. I didn't consider this, as a middle mouse click does the same thing and i have been using that since i can remember.

Another option to make this more user friendly might also be to just place the hint differently. Currently it only shows a small text box that is easily overlooked, which indicates how to cycle the tooltips. On mobile this cannot reliably show up at all

So maybe just moving the hit into the tooltip itself could be the solution:

I will add my thoughts here too:

Pros (do the cycling):

• On mobile the experience is better handled, because the tooltip won't go out of the screen easily, if you display all 3 autos (if you have 3 chains), it can be quite difficult to have a good experience on mobile

Cons (always show all):

• I am afraid that 95% of the user won't ever see this mechanism as it is maybe not widely spread thing on the internet, it is like a pro mechanism let's say
• Also, if you do this, the users can't do right click, open in new tab etc, I know that might not be a very used feature, but I think some people are doing it, like if they want the wiki page of it

Regarding the rclick -> open in new tab;
Its true , i never even thought of it. I haven't used that for years now since clicking the middle mouse button does the same thing with fewer menus, so i have been using that since forever instead.

Just a short update:

For now this mostly settled on keeping it cycling through collapsed tooltips, as other options get unwieldy when showing a lot of skills, for example the bundle display.
We might be able to resolve this if we chose to change how bundles and transformations are displayed.

I will however keep this open, as we are still looking for better solutions.
