Yaay, my girls got to lvl 12 last night! The addition of the searing fire totem has filled my actionbar1 which replaced another item I had there. This prompted me start dealing with a couple of questions I have been wondering about. Particularly how to use so many spells when you only have so many available visable actionbar slots.

1. How many totems most people actually use?
2. If your using a lot of different kinds of totems, how do you set that up?

I was thinking of putting my totems on my second action bar. But I'm not sure how to make that work. I have a few of the usual macros on actionbar1 plus the spells I'm using all the time. In order to use actionbar2, I have to press shift+2, then press the key for the macro lets say key 1, then press shift+1 to get back to actionbar1 again.

Is there a way to use items on actionbar2,3,4 etc. without having to switch to actionbar2? Sorry I'm such a noob at this macro/keybinding stuff, i'm trying to "get it".

TIA
