Weapon Sets does NOT work with PARRY skill

Even though "Lock to all weapon sets" enabled, you CANT choose whether to use parry as Weapon Set 1 or 2. This means the passive points allocated associate with parry not properly working.

Example:
Parry related passive nodes allocated as 'Weapon Set 2' and buckler has been set to Lock to all weapon sets.
Since there is no option to use parry skill as Weapon Set 2 only, using main weapon as weapon set 1 (e.g. spear) and then pressing parry, the latter did not swap to weapon set 2.
Instead the parry skill occur using Weapon set 1, making the passive nodes also didn't switch to weapon set 2.

This probably affects armored shield as well.

Just noticed this. It's really sad that parry has had so many issues.
Please fix / change this feature.
Make parry gud.
Having the same issue. Hopefully the devs notice. There is a very janky fix if you apply your parry skill tree to weapon set I and use any skill (including spear stab with weapon set I) to switch to weapon set I before parrying. It doesn't feel great though. I assume it's an oversight they don't have two separate parry skills. They have two separate spear stab and spear throw skills.
I made a post about this bug as well. Best solution is to use two shields until it gets fixed. Below I quote my post which has some more detail.

Bug with shield abilities - weapon-set-lock mode
Dear All,

this bug can be reproduced as below:
Activate the weapon-set-lock mode for main-weapon and off-hand (Shield) in the ui.
The game will create copies of your weapon skill in the skills tab. (OK)
The game will not create copies of your shield skill in the skills tab. (BUG)

Therefore you can't use different passive tree points (weapon set points) for your shield skill.

More background information to understand the issue:
Try to utilize the weapon set points for the shield ability only while keeping all other skills separated. This is possible while using two different shields but not with the weapon-set-lock.

Best regards,
Confio
I'm also affected but I'm afraid there's so few parry players (especially late games ones) that it won't get enough attention :( GGG please help us parry enjoyers!
I think they will be able to fix the issue. All they need to do is to enable the 2nd shield ability as they already do with weapons.
