More than 2 skill bars? (hack/mod)

I figured there is a thread I should post this in, but I an guarantee my post will go un-noticed, so I figured I'd post it here, and it this gets locked ASAP I'll resort to the thread :/

Is it possible to "hack/mod" the game client to allow for more than 2 skill bars? I need at least 3-4 for skills/buffs/pots/equipment, etc. So this would be nice.

I'm assuming it's just a simple modification?

Thanks for reading.

Nope it would require extensive mod of client game.exe

Yes, though theoretically possible. The easiest method would most likely be to replace the revolver/pot quick slot section of code to act similar to that of quick slot 2 [Numpad]. Similar in that you would have to represent it via bar but either have no shortcut link to Keyboard [at the very list not to used keys in other regards via the game].

A much simpler solution is to attempt to find ways to reduce the amount of things needed to switch around. For example using brain.exe in conjunction with shstudio [or alternate method] to combine buffs. Simple/Personal Buffs can be fairly easily combine without hassle. Also most servers choose to still utilize personal buffs but increase the length of time they last, I personally find it more useful because of the situation with needing excessive quick slot space for skills [I have a combined skill set archer/ranger/assassin/hunter, fighter/defender/warrior/guardian, priest/mage/oracle/pagan] to move these to passive buffs [always running]. This also decreases the amount of space that having a running buff take space onscreen allowing for a less cluttered visual.
