Does anyone else think the skill select system needs tweaking?

I am kinda annoyed at how your old skills skills stay active if you change a weapon until you manually change them, I often like to switch for different enemies but I always end up in a situation like "damn forgot to change my skills now I can't use blank". I wish the skill system was more like this:
instead of just one skill bar for the character you would have one for every type of weapon as in when you switch from dual wield to two handed the skillset you used last time you used a 2 handed weapon will automatically be applied and the dual wield one remembered.

what do you guys think? I am not sure if the staff will implement or even see it but I do think this is a good way to save time and frustration.

Well, that's kind of why you actually have two skill bars (the 2nd one you unlock at lvl 15). Instead of switching weapons (I.e. de-equipping one weapon and then equipping another), you can just swap bars, which automatically switches your main weapon to the weapon you have equipped in your back-up slot. You can customize your main bar to suit your primary weapon and customize your other bar to suit your equipped back-up weapon. That way, you're able to simply swap bars in combat without having to de-equip/equip weapons or reassign skills.

While I can understand wanting to try out different weapon types as a low level, in the long run you really shouldn't be specced into more than two weapon trees. When I swap bars, my weapon and skills change accordingly.

Yeah, I just saw THAT particular loading screen today, the first one after I posted this...I feel so dumb.

@RAGUNAnoOne Lol, it's cool. Don't feel bad! Everyone's been there at some point; you learn more and more as you play and as you read. I didn't know if you knew about the 2nd bar, hadn't unlocked it yet, or simply liked switching weapons a lot and felt two bars wasn't enough. Regardless, that's what the forums are for: learning new things and sharing knowledge. Loading screens can be a little vague and sometimes the most useful tips you feel you could've used early on won't show up until you don't need that info anymore (like in your case).

@ThisIsAKnife I use ps4 so I can't use addons... Zenimax should import popular addons if possible to the console (preferably for free since the creators get zip) and have a "user made content download" option on the start screen for console.

That's not ZoS' fault actually, but it's frustrating. Glad the Master Race has add-ons

I don't get it I mean if ZOS approved the addons, adapted them if needed, and hosted them through the game server itself I don't think it would break any ulas since it would not modify the console just the game and the game company would be the ones hosting the addons so it is authorized. I heard rumors that fallout 4 is going to do this on its console versions so why not ESO. then again I am not a lawer so I don't know how it would work.
