You couldn’t swap skills while actively fighting, just if you were stuck “in combat” despite hitting nothing and being hit by nothing after several seconds. It basically worked the same way as doors/levers etc. I actually thought that was added intentionally as a temporary fix for the “in combat” bug, surprised that they walked back this fix without implementing a solution for the underlying problem.

I am talking about a video of a sorc with score 616k on maelstrom who run and swap during combat many many times over and over again with addon. Which for sure in my opinion should not be a thing as that gives quite big advantage to you when u can use skills that are not even originally on your bar.

As it that should be an priority, already an issue that you can not add siege to bar while some in the group during an siege is in combat.Yep, it was 'fixed' in the maintenance today unfortunately:
"Fixed an issue where you were able to swap out abilities during combat."
Yes, an obvious delay between rounds, you can even swap without addon here. Also if you kill one wave fast its an delay before next spawn.ArvenAldmeri wrote: »WrathOfInnos wrote: »ArvenAldmeri wrote: »Well, they had to "fix" this because there were people who basically had unlimited amount of skills to use this way.

Most of the swaps from what I’ve seen come between rounds on various stages when not in combat.
