Blink skill permanently unusable

The Blink skill has become completely unusable on my character.

The game displays the message:
“Item cannot be used: Not usable with current Weapon Set settings”

This occurs even though:

All Spirit (resource) requirements are fully met

Weapon Set switching is locked or unavailable

Blink is properly socketed and leveled

The Blink skill remains permanently disabled and cannot be activated.

This issue is not limited to a single Blink gem.

What I have tested

Replacing Blink with multiple different Blink gems

Removing and re-equipping the gem

Changing skill slots and key bindings

Logging out and back in

Changing zones and towns

Verifying that all Spirit and other requirements are satisfied

Result:
All Blink gems remain disabled with the same error message.

When the issue started

The issue started after leaving to the Character Selection screen while inside a map, then returning to the character.

Immediately after loading back into the character:

Blink became unusable

The issue has persisted since then

Expected Result

Blink should be usable when:

Spirit requirements are met

The skill is equipped

No incompatible Weapon Set is active

Actual Result

Blink is permanently disabled with the message:

“Not usable with current Weapon Set settings”

This occurs even though Weapon Set switching is unavailable and all requirements are met.

Additional Notes

This appears to be a character-level Weapon Set / skill binding state issue

The problem affects all Blink gems, not a single item

The issue persists across sessions and cannot be resolved in-game

I have the same issue
I got the same problem today. I just disabled it to test other skill and now for some reason It doesn't work at all.
The current assignment for Blink is rather buggy and not intuitive. When they made blink required for both weapon sets this bug started occurring. You need to disable all other skills that use spirit, make sure you have two weapons equipped, and then you can activate blink if you assign it to both weapon sets. Then you can activate your other skills that use spirit, making sure you don't go over you total spirit. Make sure those skills are assigned to the correct weapon set as blink will be the first skill to be deactivated. This is clearly pretty bugged to have to do this workaround.
Unfortunately, your advice doesn't work. Even with all skills (including minions) disabled on both sets, or even when using only one weapon, it's impossible to activate Blink; it simply won't work. Relog, remove all skills, switch weapons, use only one weapon, nothing, absolutely nothing helps. This is a Bug with a capital B

Those solutions do not work for me either. Had to create a new Blink gem to fix it...
