Giant's Blood Passive/Cannot Equip New Weapons

Edit: I think I found the problem. Giant's Blood Passive gives 3x Attribute Requirements for weapons, and I did not have enough Strength to equip it. I think this should have been shown in the Error Message I received, rather than the Skill Gems error.

(end edit)

Equipping Restrictions Enabled

When trying to swap my equipped 2H weapon for a new 2H weapon, I get an error message saying that I cannot equip the new weapon because some skill gems will no longer work.

Trephina (equipped Mace) swapping to a crafted rare mace

Identified skill gems:

Resonating Barrier
Magma Shield
Magma Spray

Tried unequipping Trephina, but still couldn't equip new weapon.
Tried unequipping Trephina and shield, but still couldn't equip new weapon.
Tried disabling Equipping Restrictions. Still couldn't equip new weapon, but the error message no longer appeared.

Tried closing the PS5 client and restarting game but problem persists.

Game will not allow me to equip most 2H weapons, but did allow me to equip a quarterstaff without shield.

I was able to equip a white, unmodified 2H mace with shield, but still cannot equip the crafted mace I made, or any other non-white 2H weapon.

At this time, most 2H weapons are unequippable under any circumstances.

I encountered this same problem, as a workaround I was able to:

1. Un-equip currently equipped weapons
2. Equip Shield
3. Equip 2 handed mace in one hand

This is a real nuisance but at least it lets you use the passive.
