Mend Wounds disables attacking on BOTH bars even if slotted only on one

So I play as a DPS/Healer hybrid on my main character. I recently tried out the ability Mend Wounds on my healer. The ability disables your ability to attack and turns it into a heal towards allies. My issue is this effect persists when you swap weapons. So when I take out my Inferno staff, that does NOT have Mend Wounds slotted, it still cannot attack.

This is really inconvenient if you swap without toggling because then you have to waste more time swapping, toggling, then finally swapping again, costing valuable time. It's clunky and not necessary.

Today I logged in and spent the better part of 20 minutes trying to figure out why my attack was disabled and looking up threads. It wasn't until I looked at my active effects on my character and saw Mend Wounds that the penny dropped.

Tbh ZOS I don't think this ability should persist when you swap to a weapon without it.

    it should persist, or there would be no point to use this ability, they already nerfed that but decided to revert the nerf since the skill was already underperforming.

    I am completely confused about how this skill is supposed to worketc. ?

    Can someone explain how this skill is supposed to function?

    You need an ally for it to work. It is only for healing your friends

    Learn to remember that you triggered it and use it well or don't slot it on any bar.

    1) It is intended to disable attacks and instead heal.

    2) It is intended to persist permanently, on every bar even after bar swaps.
    They designed it this way originally, even if possibly bugged, and tried to change it to stop when bar swapped, but some people complained to the right ZOS employees who then changed it back to the version it is now and was before.

    Learn to deal with it as that is the only option, or take it off your bar and don't use it.
