What is Elective Mode?
Short Answer: "Elective Mode" is the stupidest name that anyone could come up with for an option that you have to manually enable to make a game playable.

Long Answer: Enabling Elective Mode has two major benefits. First, it allows you to choose which skills you want to use regardless of category (as opposed to one skill from each category). Second, it allows you to assign any of your skills to any hotkey.

Enabling Elective Mode
Options > Gameplay > Interface > Elective Mode



Choose Skills from Any Category
You are no longer bound by the arbitrary skill categories in the Skills menu.

Pick the skills you want to use!











Set the Hotkeys
Right-click on a hotkey in the skill bar to assign a skill to it and click/drag skills around to best suit your play style.











NOTE: A "Skill Bar Lock" will be introduced in a later patch to prevent accidental reassignment of hotkeys during intense battles.
