Patch 11.2.7 has messed up the Skyriding Bar again, seemingly randomizing abilities. So I set out to write something to re-establish my layout on all characters again. Then I realized that this should be a standalone addon with settings.
Use /skyridingautosetup or go to Menu > Options > AddOns > SkyridingAutoSetup to choose which Skyriding ability you want on which actionbar slot.
These will be applied on the next login or reload, or you can press Apply now for the current character.
Below that button, you can choose whether these choices are applied on every login, or just when they were changed (default)
Note: On login, the default UI will always attempt to put the following abilities on the Skyriding Bar, if they aren't present on any bar:
Surge Forward, Skyward Ascent, Dismount, Whirling Surge/Lightning Rush
It likely picks empty slots, but may also overwrite occupied ones.
To prevent this for undesired abilities, you may place them on ANY bar, even a hidden one.
Known Issues:
- If you are on a Skyriding mount and have Lightning Rush selected as your "Skyriding Cooldown" when the addon puts it on the bar, it will display as Whirling Surge until you next mount up again. I don't think there's a way around this, due to the way Blizzard handles these talent choices.
