Can’t swap skills(combat bug)

I’ve been stuck in combat for 20 minutes now and I can’t swap any skills or anything because of combat bug. So now because of the change to this today I’m having to walk to the next keep without rapids and not being able to mount. Prior to this change today I could at least put rapids on and get there quicker.

    Yep, it was 'fixed' in the maintenance today unfortunately:

    "Fixed an issue where you were able to swap out abilities during combat."

    Well, they had to "fix" this because there were people who basically had unlimited amount of skills to use this way. One of best maelstrom arena runs, sorc during fights swapping skills every 5 seconds with addon, so it was really needed this patch.
    Magicka sorcerer from start until the end. Always. Through the good times and the bad, even now when its probably saddest PvE dps it has ever been.
    Even as an owner of one radiant apex mounts I am against radiant apex mounts and anything thats not obtainable by direct purchase.

    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.

    Im absolutely furious about this dumb change right now, it was like one of the few good changes from elsweyr since combat bug does still get you all the time.
    Like, who thought of this?
    They knew how much people hated it in the past patches, who would come up with the idea to revert this and screw everyone AGAIN?

    That is their way of fixing lag by reducing the player bothering to keep up with their sh***

    It's almost as if they're actively trying to get people to quit PvP in this game...

    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.

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

    Why even bother with any feedback, zos doesn't give a flopping guar about anything and just making the game even more unplayable with every patch (ikr, quite hard)

    I can not describe how pissed i am that they rolled back this change. If i would try to describe it in words how i feel about the change, i would get banned from the forums.

    Honestly. Remember how many people were mad about it last time yet they implement it again.

    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.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    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.

    But no adding siege to hotkey during an siege is not allowed as some in group is in combat.
