cannot swap weapons?
So i started my second play-through and i picked a rogue, but for some reason i'm stuck dual wielding the swords and i can't switch to the bow (I can't even see the little circle next to the health bar). I can use it with the RT ability, but i'm talking about the regular weapon attacks. In my first play-through (mage) I had no issue switching between weapons, so I'm not sure what happened here. Has anyone had this issue before?

For rogue you just press (and hold) right click for the bow (or whatever equivalent for a controller (the same button to use beam as mage)). It's not a weapon set swap like the mage. It's just...another attack button.

Sadly that's not a bug, it's a feature ... There is no Ranger class in DAV. The Bow is just a secondary weapon of the Rogue you use sometimes for ranged adds, or "activating" ladders. The combat system of DAV is focused on melee combat.

Still that makes it even more hillarous that the mage has the ability to swap to a melee weapon as the only class in the game.

Your statement makes no sense. Do you mind rephrasing it?

yes ... but dagger/orb for a mage is useless anyhow (in my not so humble opinion) as it effectively reduces your ranged attacks range to almost melee range ... so unless you want to play as a melee mage you are better of with the staff

Not true. I played the entire game with bow as my primary weapon, and rarely used the swords. Even did the veil *ranger* specialization. Most of the time I killed all the enemies before my companions even touched them. The fact that they put the bow on the mouse right-click doesn't make it "secondary", it just makes it faster to switch between weapons when you need it.
