Players can select one of three combat modes, in decreasing level of user involvement and damage done.
Full Manual mode requires each ability to be triggered manually, as in previous incarnations of the ability system. This gives the greatest control to players and gives the best damage output, but it also is the most click-intensive.
Revolution mode automatically triggers the first cooled-down basic ability in your first nine action bar slots which you have the requirements to use. Other basic, threshold and ultimate abilities can also be used without turning off Revolution. The revolution window can be resized, and basic, threshold and ultimate abilities can all be triggered. This offers a high damage output comparable to Full Manual mode, without requiring each ability to be clicked manually.
Legacy Mode is the old combat system before Evolution of Combat. This mode allows you to hit more consistently, but limits your abilities to only special attacks.

The options here are mutually exclusive. That is, if you have selected a weapon style of Magic - Any, then no other action bar binding setup can be configured for Magic. If, on the other hand, you have selected Melee - Two-handed as an option, then an additional bar could be chosen for Melee - Dual Wield (but not Melee - Any). If all available combinations are picked, then the remaining Weapon styles will only have None as an option. Additionally, the settings are different for mobile and desktop, as shown below.
