Feature request: weapon swap incomplete.

To complete the feature please allow gem swap or gems per weapon.
This will allow players to create unique pinnacle builds where they swap weapons and the gems in real-time.

Funnily enough, this system exists in poe1 already!
When you press X to swap weapons in poe1 your skill hotbar is swapped to a 2nd set of skills instantly.

In poe2 you get to either hold shift for the 2nd hotbar, or cram it all into one.
Given that you can assign skills to only use a specific weapons, I do see how implementing what you're suggesting isn't necessarily straightforward and could get a little wonky.

Interim solution: There are rings with an inherent bonus of +1 skill slot ("unset rings?") this will give you more space for alternative skills, check the trade site.

I do think what you're suggesting could be easier to implement and potentially make sense for support gems only. But I think this would be largely abused just to get around the no duplicate support gem restriction.

I don't know about abuse or support only gems.

We see that every character comes with a specific number of gem slots.
What I am saying is that those slots are bound to weapon slots.
You have 2 weapon slots and when you swap u swap to secondary gem slots.
All buffs from the first weapon slots disappear. swapping weapons is also swaping gems and skill bars.

That is the only way to obtain the full experience and gameplay of having 2 weapons.

Yes wizard can switch between light and fire but I want to switch between quarterstaff and crossbow so why limit my experience its not like my whole passive tree changes with weapon, I wish it did but that might make you god.
so at least give us gem swap on weapon swap.
