All that activating sucks!

In CR2 u need to activate discipline upgrades (MAI, Karate Master, etc.) at the cost of substantial IS. The old version was better. More passive Abilities. (BTW: very often activating an upgrade does NOT work). All that stuff does not fit into the Hotbars (not even the doubled ones) any more. Although the new combat system itself is nice you could have kept the Combat HUD instead of dragging the tactics into the Hotbar.
