So I was experimenting with some discord builds when I realized there is absolutely no control for the new hero slots. Is this permanent, or just a feature that has temporarily been overlooked and will be resolved?

Players can set the skill bars for their Heroes in the 5 - 8 slots and customize their weapons, runes, and insignias as usual. However, Heroes in these last four slots will follow the "Order All" flag, as opposed to having individually numbered control flags. We still want to have incentives for players to fight side-by-side. Allowing a single player to extensively micromanage his team would detract from the greatest strength of groups: coordination. By increasing the number of Heroes players can take with them, we ensure that solo players can operate on a level that is comparable to a full group. This provides us with a better baseline for balancing content in future additions.

You can micro skill usage on heroes 4-8 via mouse clicks. There aren't any keyboard commands though. We know the lack of flagging is intentional (read: wasn't worth the effort), dunno about keyboard shortcuts.

Well, thanks for the link, but I was looking for the possibility of keystrokes for skill usage.

Agreed. This is the only thing I wish they'd have put in the update.

EDIT: Read as, "The only thing that wasn't 100% successful on the update."

They don't exist, but a suggestion for those to be put in place can be found here.

hit F11, go under control

its a pain, but there is a basic keybind setup there

apparently they only have controls for hero 1-3 skills, for heros 4-7 they only have the panel command

Bah sorry, no doubt, moaning for the sake of moaning but we have not a set of 7 flags. Am I being to picky? The 7 hero update is sheer brilliance, got my ass kicked/handed to me in the high end areas, but was still fun experimenting with builds. Butt

more control over our heroes would be nice.

This fom the never happy committee
