Missing socketed skill - spellslinger wand

I have snap socketed into the gem slot and no amount of locking, unlocking, or swapping my wand to slot 2 fixes this issue. It was working just fine but then this problem came out of nowhere. You can get it to function again by swapping the wand to slot 2 but as soon as you fire off a spell it will revert back to missing socketed skill again. I've tried using a different wand, cutting another snap gem, and using a lesser jewelers orb on it too.

I see a bunch of similar posts here for other skills but there doesn't appear to be any fix for this issue.

This skill is mega-bugged and mostly unplayable and would not recommend to buy or make builds with dueling wand for now.

This happened to me unreversebly as well. Iirc, what I did to bug it out was equip Clarity II support gem onto it without having enough spirit (somehow it let me without warning). After that - weapon slot1 never works with the Spellslinger and it's really annoying. More info - maybe it has to do something with new feature to have same weapons on both weap sets?

Another issue - you cannot inspect skill details on socketed spell with Spellslinger (nor you can set a weapon set 1/2 to it - visually you can, but techically it never works and super easy to test).

Another (possibly) issue - you can put gems, but they will take no effect. These gems are "Supports any Skill you use yourself or that you Trigger" - this is tricky due to Spellslinger having Trigger/Invocation both tags. Easy example to test - Inhibitor support gem - if you socket a spell, which can consume (if possible) elemental infusions - the invocation of the spell will use the infusions, even if it should not according to Inhibitor. This HAS to be a bug, because why would Dynamism passive notable skill work with Spellslinger then, since it has "Triggered A Skill"? Possibly is in brackets, because maybe it actually works, and doesn't for me right now, because it is bugged due to weapon slot issue - impossible to test solo.

this literally happened to me too just now but with another meta gem. I was using blasphemy and cast on ailment the whole time without problems. now I wanted to gear up and crafted a new amulet and finally had enough to annoint efficient inscriptions.

curently my blasphemy doesnt even work at all anymore and I can put any curse in and activate it on all weapon sets as well as all curses itself etc and it doesnt work. cast on elemental ailment only works on one weapon set.

and after reading your post I realized it happened at the exact same time. I had 11 spirit left and socketed clarity 2 in the link which seems to have broke it an now one weapon set doesnt work. I tried everything to fix it from declaring weapons ets without any socket inside to seclaring weeapon sets to the skills inside or any other skill I am using. weapon set 1 doesnt work anymore with the meta gems and with blasphemy none of them anymore for whatever reason.

this is an absolutely gamebreaking bug and made me completely stop playing now. I jsut used all of my leftover currency to upgrade and now my skills dont work anymore.

and yes Im not stupid I have 185 max spirit and still cant use either blasphemy or cast on ailemtn alone which should not happen as I have enough spirit for everything...

edit: I was just able to "fix" my cast on ailment. I did this: I removed all declaration from weapon sets while it was socketed inside the meta and outside. then I removed the gem that will be triggered. then I removed both weapon sets from the meta. then I resocketed meta and then the gem inside. this kinda "reset" the gem and after turning on both weapon sets again in meta and the triggered spell it worked on both weapon sets again.

now Im trying to do the same with blasphemy but Im struggling there to replicate this method. it somehow doesnt work
