Weapon set passive skill points

[Archangel Azrael]

What are they and how do i use them?

[Larsvegas]

yeah i can not use them either. I choose my 4 weapon set skillpoints and if i want to choose my nodepath it does nothing

I was able to use them when I only had two of them, but I can't use them and now I have 4 weapon set passive points.

IMO worthless. It's so you can spec your weapons sets 1 and 2 differently. For instance if one build is melee and one is ranged, if you select 10% damage with Weapon I set which is your melee build it will only effect the weapon you have in the weapon I slot.

There is also a bug where if you have an offset of weapon slot points it will bug out. For instance if you have 1 point to use for weapon one slot and 3 points to use for weapon slot two, your tree could bug and you'll have to respec to get rid of the weapon slot points before it will open up your tree. I would suggest ignoring this option for now.

They are tied to one of the two weapon set slots you have available. You can switch between two weapon loadouts in this game (like in POE1).

You get a few points that can be used to customize your skill tree for either of those sets.

So if your main weapon is melee and you have, say, a bow on the side to use when you don't want to get into melee range (or you have one weapon for trash-mobs and one weapon for bosses) you have a few points you can put in your skill tree that will be used when you have that weapon slot activated. When you swap weapon slots you would use the other set of weapon-skill points.

You need to have regular skill points ready to assign in order to use weapon set skill points. They're not extra points to be used on top of the regular points. They're alternate ways to use the the normal points.
