Action Bar Saver 2   Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Quick little mod, allows you to setup different profiles for your action bars. Mainly this is for hybrid classes that want to be able to respec without spending 10-20 minutes setting their action bars up. All you do is type /abs save <name> and it'll save the location of all your spells, macros and items.

For example, if you're currently a Feral Druid you can type /abs save feral then you can respec to Resto and setup your bars, then type /abs save resto once you go respec back to Feral you can then train all your spells again and type /abs restore feral and you'll get your feral setup without all the work of actually finding where you placed things.

Works with any custom interface like Bongos provided you're not using more then the standard 120 action buttons, ones that provided features to go past 120 will cause only the standard 120 to be saved/restored. This isn't a bug however, just a limitation in the WoW API

Very much looking forward to keybind support. Nevertheless, excellent addon.

Extremely extremely minor but:

I modified my local copy so 'load' was the same as 'restore', because save/load is what my mind thinks of rather than save/restore, and it's faster.

/abs load mimiron
/abs load vezax
/abs load freya

You've made my life so simple these days when I have different hotkeys and specs for each hardmode (and have to remember to switch between fire ward and frost ward.)

Could you add the possibility of making macro conditionals?
Cause I have a 1 button respec/equip and I would like to see something like this:

/abs restore [spec:1] Destro; [spec:2] Demo

I actually still find this mod useful... I'm a warrior, and I was specced Prot for main spec and Arms for secondary spec. For ulduar progression I'm changing my second spec to a survival (as opposed to threat-generating) prot set. I want my action bar setup to be almost the same as my other prot spec, but I'd have to completely change everything around because it's currently setup for arms.

With this addon I can "save" my bar setup in my primary spec and then just load it into my secondary spec instead of having to setup everything again. And I will still have my Arms bar setup saved for when I decide to go back.

I know you're not SUPPOSE to share accts... of course. But, would this add on allow me to have one set of key bindings to be loaded when I play a toon and then a friend would also be able to load their key bindings for the same toon when they play? Or, does this just change the action bar button placement?

While I'll still maintain it for people that need beyond 2 specs/transfering setups between characters, odds are you don't need to use it most of the time.
Please note that, especially with hardmodes, and especially with the higher-end guilds, many of us are respecing far beyond the 2 that Blizzard provides us.

I play a mage and I have 3 different specs I switch between based on which hard-mode it is, then an additional one for normal-mode Ulduar.

And I know our tanks and healers all have, e.g., two healing specs or two tanking specs, and then when they need to switch roles they hit a trainer.

Not to mention people who have two pve specs and then go and pvp.

Actually doing all keys would be even better because for example my targeting key is different on my DPS and tank chars/specs than on my healers.
But it sounds like its not a planned feature?

If you could add a way to save keybindings aswell for each profile, I at least would use it.
Blizzards way doesnt do that and especially for druids that simply needed to do a feral/balance or feral/resto dual spec.

It depends what you mean specifically, Blizzard offers something like 70 buttons by default, but unofficially support up to 120 buttons. As long as you do not go beyond 120 buttons then ABS will work with Bartender, if you go beyond 120 then it'll only support those 120.

Does this work with addons like Bartender4? In other words, ones that can add more bars than the blizz ui. Concerned about bars not transferring between specs if there are more than just the blizz ones active.
