what if weapon swap also swapped to a new skill gem page.

I get some people will get angry right away with this suggestion they cant help it ... its just there nature lol.

But i do think it would work real well if when we swapped weapon it gave us a new skill gem page option.

I think it would work well with the weapon set passives and give more meaning to the whole thing.

Just my opinion not saying this is fact.

This idea is sadly incompatible with the current system. Since the current system can swap your weapons if you use your skills. If it at the same time would also cause your skills to be changed it would just be pure chaos as for example accidentally using a skill that changes your weapon could screw you over as you suddenly have diferent skills set then you expected.

And I mean, you do already have 13 slots available for your skills, I don't see why we would need even more than that. And at least I personally very much prefer having the ability to swap your weapons without ever having to manually do so than to have to do it manually and have more skill slots. Not having to think about which weapons you have equipped is simply a pretty great feeling.

Hence the option.

I still think OP has a point. Heralds are utterly useless in boss fights, I was hoping to have the option with weapon swap to use other skills on boss fights and have the support gems being used for more boss specific skills, because another limitation is one support gem only.
Good mechanic and a lot of work went into it with passive swapping and all that, only to be a niche use.

Edit: Perhaps what we need is dual spec in this case-

Passive Tree already does it. Hotbar ironically doesn't, but normally would, and they could combine hotbar swapping with weapon-swap if they wanted (just stick skills you always want on both hotbars). Poe1 has 3 atlas trees to swap between. They do this kind of stuff already. Maybe they use a 2nd loadout, maybe add sockets under each that default to w/e is in the main socket, but you can fill up if you wish it to be something else when using weapon set 2. Its not incompatible.
