Question : what does ** Concoction Skills now require an unarmed weapon set ** means exactly?

Looking at the new gem info it seems to me that concs are now relegated to status affliction supports on a weapon swap.

Or am I seeing it wrong?

Just looked at the datamined changes for Pconc and it doesn't change much. Base damage got a very slight increase and the magnitude increased by 100%, which means an overall damage increase of about 50%.
It's now a physical skill aswell as chaos, which means we can use both +1 support gems if we want.
So I think Pconc is still a viable main skill, it's just more work to make it feel good. U'll need a lot more "reduced mana flask charges used" and have to invest more in "increased charges gained" than before.

Freezing and Shocking concoctions tho I think are mainly support skills now.

Oh yeah that makes total sense, they compensated the loss of weapons with ailment scaling, so damaging ailment concoctions should still be fine...

Man, shattering concoction was the most fun for me... i tried taking off the weapons to simulate and the dps loss is just horrible, tooltip almost 3x loss.
the concensus sems to be that the combo is gone, not sure if we can use a shield though.

im gonna play another skill
I hate the lab
