    It's crap that it still can't be relied on and often results in death. I'm not sure it's number 1 priority but right up there. :|

    More so than just weapon swapping, the whole combat system still needs touching up. I've had a number of times where skills fail to go off and have to hit multiple times then the skill get used multiple times to catch up.

    One of the irritating things I've came across recently (not related to combat lag/flow) is that "thundering presence" rather than the normal animation, just makes the hands change. It took me a while to realize it was there and working, they just changed the animation when a lot of enemies are around.

    And so did many brave men, women, and beast fall to the end of Beta, never to be heard from again. All that is left, is whispers of the adventures they had.

    Because Lag isn't a problem?
    Been here since Feb 2014 - You'd think I'd be half reasonable at this game by now...

    As i understand they will change weapon swap so it cancel action and animation the same way as block do.
    This should solve the problem, changing weapons itself will take time to eliminate abuse with two weapons.

    The problem is that if you try to change weapon while using it it will not work, you have to stop using it to change. And yes this can be hard as if you swap weapon in combat it tend to be an emergency.
    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    Isn't this allready the case? I cancel spell symmetry by swaping weapons. Problem is in some fights I can't change bars anymore and I'm forced to press "Escape" twice in order to recover the functionality (which is pretty annoying).

    Well, ZOS is obviously doing something...

    A couple of days ago I noticed an anomaly where my DK tank (who is normally 1Hd+Shield, but uses a restoration staff for swapping) seemed to swap weapons on her own. I have the middle mouse button remapped for weapon swap and I thought maybe I had accidently hit the button. Yesterday I watched for this closely and, yes, I had several weapon swaps occur on their own (in both directions).

    I'm guessing that keycodes get messed up in certain conditions; for instance, it's fairly common that pressing ALT to close a GUI will sometimes bring up the map.

    So, maybe ZOS has decided the weapon-swap issue is best handled by deciding for us when and where to swap weapons...

    Yes, this is still happening to me as well. Either with weapon swapping or Flurry. But considering how non-PC their UI is, at least esc key still works.

    Yah, I actually decided I'm going to make a macro and bind it to my mouse just to press escape twice :disappointed:

    Edit: I think it has something to do with skill spamming, maybe some kind of buffer issue. This happens to me in heavy fights (like the Serpent in Sanctum) when I'm using 6 different skills in ~2-3s with auto attacks in the middle and animation canceling (all done manually).

    I'd like to have two new keys: Weapon 1 and Weapon 2. When the lag hits, i end up swapwapshitswapping.
