weapon switching

[FINDME2.0]

why doesn't the game switch the Basic swing skill for a weapon when u swap weapons? everytime i swap my weapon it just swings the first one.

turns out u can't because you can only swing for the other weapon on another button.

why would i want to press a different button for the basic swing when i just switched to it?

why can't i press mouse click 1 for the mace and the same for the 2nd weapon when i switch weapons? this is the point of weapon swapping right? to swap and use it?

I agree. I don't often bother with a second weapon at all, as 1) both weapons have so many skills you can't really get them on the skill hotbar and 2) the bonuses from the second weapon are inactive.anyway.

The idea is that you can combine skills from different weapons without manually switching but it would be nice to have it change the mouse bound skills or have it be optional. I do like the method of free dual classing though

In the gem skill tab you can click the lil sidebar (that has all the skill stats and dps) and select which weapon uses that skill. This might be able to help?

its not a unique skill. its just the Quarter Staff strike you get by Equipping the Qstaff. you can't select with what weapon its only quarter staff. it also doesn't have a selection for item slot 1 or 2 either.

my problem is why do weapon even switch then when u can just use whatever skill by putting the skill anywhere on your keyboard?

why would i want mace swing on mouse 1 when i have qstaff equipped. i would want to swap with x and have the qstafff swing on Mouse1.

unfortunately this isn't possible because you can only have 1 skill to 1 button. Mouse 1 has mace swing, even when you switch weapons. nothing changes.

also i am legit brand new to this game so i maybe be glossing over a lot of mechanics i dont understand. i just dont understand how weapon swapping would not work the way i think it would. also i dont want to use middle mouse just to swing my mace and qstaff independently. i just picked it up outside the 1st town on that 1st quest and thats all..

Sadly this does not work on weapons. I agree it would've made sense to just allow to assign both weapons to left click as we swap the sets, thus when clicking the details, we'd see it set a weapon to I and another to II but alas it is not the case.
