Weapon set passive point bug

So you can allocate weapon set 1 passives without selecting the weapon set. the game treats them as normal passives and does not decrease the weapon set passive amount down.

EX. i have 10 normal passive and 4 weapon passives. without selecting the weapon set passive it lest me allocate 14 normal passives. the wespon set count still shows 4 (4). attempting to select the wepon set 1 does not allow futher allocation.

This will cause confusion and frustration of the intended mechainc

Yes I am confused. It says I have 2 Weapon set points, I just received those from a skill book which I got when I went back for a side quest. I can't allocate those and I am unsure if this is due to what you describe or if it is a bug.

Character is level 12 and has 13 skill points allocated two of which are from that skill book. 13 from leveling up 11 times after initial starting level and 2 from book. Sounds about right, but I don't see why can't I spend those 2 from weapon set,are there any restrictions on which nodes those can be spent?

I press the arrow left to one of the weapon sets, top of screen says "Allocating Points For Weapon Set I" then I click on any node adjacent to any other already allocated node, but nothing happens.

Can anyone tell me if this is a bug or if I don't understand it?

Also encountered. I have 47 normal and 12 weapon set skill points, but now my tree shows 52（yellow） + 7（green）, and weapon set UI shows 5(12)

GG, weapon skill set points are confusing, annoying, and useless. It fucking ruined my playthrough and enjoyment of the game. Please remove this dogshit feature.

I believe this may be a simple misunderstanding of how they work. From my testing, the weapon set skill points still count as normal skill points and aren't "extra" points - so if you've allocated all your normal points you won't be able to allocate any weapon set points. If you have any normal points left, however, you can click the arrow next to either weapon set option and it will instead allocate your normal points AS weapon set points; you can allocate points as weapon set points up to the number of weapon set points you have available, and each weapon set can allocate those points in different places simultaneously. The passives you've allocated for each weapon set will automatically turn on and off when you swap weapons.

don't remove it, improve the interface somehow.

I am finding the actual weapon swap feature with some passive swapping incredibly useful. But. The interface is confusing.

I don't understand the point of weapon set passives, right now, this is my experience:

- refund 1 passive point
- click weapon set 1 in passive tree
- spend point
- click weapon set 2 in passive tree
- no point to spend

How is this different to just spending the passive points in the default passive tree? It seems like if I want 1 point in weapon set 1, and 1 point in weapon set 2, I need 2 skill points.

- Is there a bug or is my character bugged?
- Are the weapon set passive points special points I have already spent in the normal tree and I need to reset all the way back to recover them?

As it stands I see no reason to use them.

EDIT:

Played around with it some more, and I understand my confusion now.

- refund 1 passive point
- click weapon set 1 in passive tree
- spend point / skill point counter goes to zero
- click weapon set 2 in passive tree
- spend point

So the "issue" is that in the UI it is extremely unclear that after having spent the general point in the first weapon set, you can ALSO spend it in the second weapon set. It's unclear because the skill point counter goes to zero, which intuitively feels like you have no more points to spend.

There is still the problem where I path somewhere with set 1, but then I wanted set 2 to follow the same path, but couldn't.

Only get around is to refund all weapon set 1 path to where they merge and reallocate. Very annoying. Feels like I am wasting my gold to get around the problem.

UI definitely needs improvement.

There definitely need to be more defined ui for using the weapon set passives.

And the current system of needing to respec every point used to change ANYTHING is way too harsh. My character in maps just got bricked because it's deleting my skill points as i attempt to change them.

spent over 100k gold and currently rushing between portals and vendors trying to figure out how to get back the skill points weapon set is deleting.

Had the same issue, could only spend 2/4 weapon set passives for both weapons. I was able to spend a third when I received a regular passive point, but was not able to spend the fourth AND my regular skill points was consumed 😫
