[BUG?] Weapon swap with Hollow Palm Technique

Hey guys! I ran across something weird that I assume is a bug.
I'm running Hollow Palm Technique this league, so that means no gloves or weapon.

I was using a trick I learned from a streamer that involves having Sinvicta's Mettle on my offset to start a rampage and then swapping back to my usual weapon.

When I try to do this with the hotkey, since my usual set has no weapon, the game returns the error "Set up a second weapon set in your inventory to use weapon swap." I guess this makes sense, but when I try to do the same thing but with my inventory open, it works. So maybe it's a bug, and I figure it should work anyways.

Thanks for the help!

What do you mean? If you're wondering about my stats, I'm 100+ over the required stat, and nothing changes that when I swap sets, has the same gems my armor have.

For Hollow Palm Technique, you cannot use weapons, but having no weapons equipped means you can't weapon swap back.

So, the solution is to equip weapon(s) that don't interfere with Hollow Palm Technique--by using weapons you don't meet the requirements to use.

he means, if you say have 150 int, equip a wand that requires 230+(grab a heist enchant with 200% inc. attr requirement if needed) in the slot meant for hollow palm.

this will both let you use gems and use the weapon swap hotkey, its normal for it to do nothing if you don't have the swap setup.
To clarify further, have an item that gives you a lot of stats (i.e. Astramentis is a good example), equipped a weapon with stats requirement higher than you can normally use (but can use with the Astramentis), then take the stat item away so you once again do not meet the requirements. The weapon will stay and be red but you can level gems in the sockets and also weapon swap properly now.
IT IS A BUG

And it has been there forever.

Before switching with "x" open the inventory with "i" and it will work.

it is not a bug, opening the inventory lets you swap to nothing because... guess what you can now setup a weapon swap.

the fact you get a message saying you can't until you do X verifies that it isn't a bug.
I think you should just be allowed to swap sets if you don't have a weapon in one of them, it's a weird edge case scenario.
