Swapping Weapon Sets should be faster and more fluid

I was really quite excited about the dynamic weapon set swapping when I originally saw it in some of the early reveals. However, after playing and experimenting with it, the slowness of the weapon swapping makes using it borderline unplayable.

In the very early game, one of the most satisfying combos I found was using Frost Bomb and Frozen Locus, timing the Frozen Locus with the Frost Bomb explosion. Using only Quarterstaff, which can still can spells without weapon swap delay, this was really satisfying and fluid.

But eventually I need to scale my character up and get some Increased Spell Damage, which quarterstaves do not provide. So I go with a Wand + Focus on my second weapon set. Now I can't really even use my combo anymore, as the overall cast time of Frozen Locus is something like 2 seconds, in addition to the skills that are weapon swapped to pausing my character movement while doing the weapon swap. (Even though weapon swap can be done while moving, when not using an ability.)

And the only way to get Weapon Swap Speed early game is to be Mercenary. I think the weapon swap should be considerably faster (if not effectively instant), and/or there should be way more access to ways of increasing Weapon Swap Speed.

i expected to be able to switch back and forth instantly and i think a lot of others did as well. its just not as exciting of fluid the way it is. ggg always want downsides to everything we do and its starting to feel heavy handed. nodes on the skill tree literally have negatives and downsides. just dont make the upside to high so that is necessary imo. give me damage but dont sap all my attack speed to get it

Want to add one small note related to this issue.

The input queueing for weapon swapping does not feel like it works. Most of the time the weapon swap command gets completely ignored.

For example, a normal use case where input queueing feels at least okay: Using Frost Bomb and then Contagion, pressing both keys quite quickly after each other. Most of the time even if Contagion is clicked in the middle of the Frost Bomb casting animation, both spells will be cast.

However, if instead of contagion, the weapon swap binding is pressed, it is almost like there is no input queue at all, and the weapon swap will not happen. This feels extremely bad.
