Weapon Swap

pmn100b16_ESO

I've noticed we now have a padlock on the skill bar whenever we use a skill and when swapping weapons. It seems to be locking the skill bar out until the cooldown of the skill has expired. Not sure if its just that I'm EU and playing on (I assume) a NA PTS, but the weapon swapping seems really unreliable because of this. Many times I'm hitting weapon swap and its just not swapping because I'm hitting it too soon after a skill. I figure this is to stop the double swapping of weapons, but its left weapon swapping even less responsive than before. Maybe its something to get used too but its really slowing my combat down at the moment.

Same, Idk if it's a matter of latency to the NA PTS, otherwise I prefer how is weapon swap on live server, even with the risk of double swap.
There is the option of separate keybinds per bar but I still prefer the same key.

Weapon swap is very clunky indeed. Maybe it is latency dependent since I see US players weapon swaping fine during combat.

If you roll dodge and then try to weapon swap it doesn't work either, it can be frustrating. It works fine on live.

Dodge rolling seems to have other problems too. If you dodge roll and try to immediately initiate a heavy attack your character stays idle looking at your opponent who shreds you into pieces. The Heavy attack doesn't start when the roll is over....it never starts. You have to start it again....Of course it is not like this on live which is far more fluid.

I think this is the new mechanic working as intended. If they had just made weapon swap truely instant we would not have to cope with a new (sometimes more - sometimes less) clunky mechanic every other patch.

I agree, did some pvp on pts yesterday and weapon swap was not a good experience. You couldnt switch as fluently as you used to.
