Switching Weapons

I have tried to equip 2 different sets of weapons on my new witch build
First is a Wand and Spirit Shield
Second is 2 maces

Now the problem is when I set the actions in the task bar for the first set of weapons, and then set a different set of actions for the second set of weapons.
Switch back to the first set and some of the action or skills are moved, changed or a mix of both 1 and second set

Could you fix it so that the set actions or skills for each set of weapons remain static when switching.

It's a real pain to redo your skill bar every time you switch weapon sets, especially in the middle of a mob fight :)

Its somewhat problematic to switch between different weapon types, by the limited number of skill keys.
Less an issue with (example) melee/melee weapon, but if you try to switch between melee/ranged/spell gear you may have to use different skill sets also. I think this will need some kind of further improvement...

Hmm, Ok but it seems to be a bit of a problem with the quick set up I just did and I think a lot of people will do something like this.

Set 1 is for range using wands and ice skills
Set 2 is close up using maces, swords, axes, etc.

Both these type of weapons use totally different skill types. so in essence right now, I m cutting my hot keys in half for using a range/melee setup.

Right now only about 50% of my skills work on both weapon sets.

I understand why you did it this way and if you can't or decide not to change it, then I will have to live with it I guess.

Right now it's set up this way
Set 1 - M1=Default attack, M2= Ice Spear, M3=Freezing Pulse
Set 2 - M1- Heavy Strike, M2= Detonate Dead, M3= Glacial Hammer

As you can see every time I switch weapon set, half my skills reset unless I do not use any gems in the weapon/shield slots on my char. EDIT = Nope, even when I load the gems in armor it still messes up the hotkeys when switching

My wand has a +1 level for Cold based gems so I want to use that, and my maces have +1 level for melee gems, so I want to use those slots as well

EDIT - THe only way I can get it to work is if I put the same skills in both hot key sets which IMO is defeating the purpose

we definitly need two different skill sets. Without this the Weapon Swap is nearly meaningless.

And GGG would solve a other problem with different skill sets too. The Problem that 8 Slots for Skills are not enough.

e.g.: I can use my Auras and Buffs on the Second skill set and have more free slots in my primary Skill Set.

game crashes to the login screen on weapon switch EVERY time. cant connect to a new game for about 10 sec then, because it crashes to login screen again. after 10 sec i can go back in game and if try to switch...

OK, I got my weapon switch to work, but only because I remapped my G700 mouse buttons using the setpoint software that comes with a Logitech mouse. Now I know that this is not an option for most of the people out there, but at least it works for me. M1, M2, M3 are for weapon set 1 and I mapped the R,S,T hotkeys to emulate a M1, M2, M3 mouse keys on 3 aux keys on my mouse for weapon set 2.

I still feel like I lost at least 3 skill spots on my hotbar, but at least it does not lose it's mappings now when I switch

Not sure exactly what cause my problem, but i was in town equipping new items and the game crashed to the log in screen...when i log back on i and open the inventory i notice that my second weapon tab(off set sword and shield) is now missing the shield...i check the inventory and the stash but it's not there...open up the inventory and switch back to wep tab 1(bow and quiver) only to find my shield is equipped where my quiver was so i check tab 2 for the quiver and its gone...not equipped or in the stash.

It would seem that if you rearrange your items and somehow loose the stat requirement on the second tab(in my case tempest shield equipped on my shield) it causes a crash and loss of an item because it bugs out the tabs.

On weapon skill swaps is not going to be that great for people that use 1h/shield and dual wield combos. The reason being that we are going to use our 4/5/6l items to put our attack skills on because they will need more supports. Those who use a 1h and a shield or dual wield setup will not be able to support their skills with 3 or more supports in their weapons unlike a person who uses a 2h.

The only thing I am using my weapon swap for at the moment on my Witch is to put on a bow and use Poison Arrow for more AoE.

Is this problem will be solved with the open beta?
