[PLEASE] Weapon Swap Sets should have seperate keybind-skill sets!

I'm going to loose my mind here, next guy deosn't get it neither.

picture this:

-clear: i have LA on LMB, it uses weapon set I (DualSrtring bow)
-boss: I press Shift+Mouse5, bound to Barrage which is set to use weapon II, character switches Weapons to II, uses Barrage, keybinds get changed to Weapon set II set, and now my LMB has Storm Arrow
-back to clear: i press Mouse5, bound to Light Rod which is set to only work with Set I, character switches to I and my LMB is back with LA

This is possible if you add what poe1 had- a second set of keybinds.

to be absolutely clear here: you still will be able to bound key to the same skill if you wish to do so, just pick the skill for lets say MiddleMB to do a curse for both keybind sets and MiddleMB will always cast a curse. you are losing nothing.

Let me know if this makes my request clear.


Yup what you are saying is clear but it sucks. If you then wanted to use barrage with Lightning Arrow you cannot because it would not be on weapon set 2.

What your other option is. Just have Storm Arrow set to a different hotkey. Your problem is solved, instead of redesigning and entire system so you can have 2 skills on the same hotkey.

you can do that by setting barrage to use both weapon sets, you can clone all bindings to the new set and you will have EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE NOW. now stop trolling my thread
I too prefer it the way it was in POE1. Having different gems and abilities equiped to weapon load outs, which could be switched depending on what enemies were around you or for melee/ranged.

Now I can only have one skill set to each button, so no left clicking for melee AND bow shots. or a super strong ability on my right mouse for each weapon. Now I have to use the keyboard if I want to use any extra skills.

I like one hand gameplay, and I dont use WASD movement either. This is a ARPG, I'd rather just use one hand to contrll my character while my other hand is free to do something else.

yes, i actually use WASD for martial art chars, and would like as much utility on my mouse as possible due to that. I was very surprised this was not already baked in, as there is no drawbacks of it. it looks like an oversight especially since it was in poe1 for so long

thanks for chiming in, i appreciate it

I dont know why we cant Have WASD AND Mouse control at the same time. WASD mode completely dissables my mouse and makes the game unplayable.

this is most likely not to have two controls that do the same thing. HOWEVER the game still will use your LMB command to move your char to a highlighted item/npc. so yeah not very consistent on that neither
I cant highlight a object or NPC because in WASD mode my mouse dissapears.
