A few people have expressed interest in me creating a guide for how to create my collapsing class change menu, so I thought I'd share.

Step 1: HUD Layout
You will need at least 3 free hotbars in order for this to reach its maximum effectiveness. As I play with a controller, I use horizontal hotbars for this in a setup like so:

Step 2: The Main Macro
You will need to change the following macro to match the hotbar numbers you chose in Step 1.

Code:
/micon 1 gearset
/hotbar display 3
/hotbar display 4
/isort condition armoury ilv des
/isort condition armoury craftsmanship des
/isort condition armoury perception des
/isort condition armoury int des
/isort condition armoury mnd des
/isort condition armoury vit des
/isort condition armoury str des
/isort execute armoury
/wait
/isort condition inventory category asc
/isort execute inventory

This macro will do a few things:
  1. Display Hotbar #3
  2. Display Hotbar #4
  3. Sort the contents of your armoury
    1. By Strength
    2. Then Vitality
    3. Then Mind
    4. Then Intellect
    5. Then Perception
    6. Then Craftsmanship
    7. Finally Item Level
  4. Sort the contents of your inventory

Step 3: The Class Change Macro
Again, you will need to change your hotbar numbers to match the ones from Step 1.

Code:
/micon 1 gearset
/gearset change 1
/hotbar display 3
/hotbar display 4 <wait.1>
/isort condition armoury ilv des
/isort condition armoury craftsmanship des
/isort condition armoury perception des
/isort condition armoury int des
/isort condition armoury mnd des
/isort condition armoury vit des
/isort condition armoury str des
/isort execute armoury <wait.1>
/isort condition inventory category asc
/isort execute inventory

This macro will do a few things:
  1. Equip Gear Set #1
  2. Toggle Hotbar #3
  3. Toggle Hotbar #4
  4. Sort the contents of your armoury
    1. By Strength
    2. Then Vitality
    3. Then Mind
    4. Then Intellect
    5. Then Perception
    6. Then Craftsmanship
    7. Finally Item Level
  5. Sort the contents of your inventory

Step 4: Copy The Class Change Macro
You will need to copy this macro for each gear set you want to add to your menu. Change the first and second lines, replacing the number 1 with the gear set number you want to macro. Personally, I have only one gear set per class, and as it stands it fills exactly 2 full hotbars. Simply add all your macros to your 2 "menu hotbars", and it'll work.
