New Player Hotbar Question

Stories-Bones-Tell
Hey there guys, started playing recently and noticed that you have the smallest hotbar of any MMO I've ever seen. And that's fine. I hit level 15 and unlocked my weapon swap where I noticed that I can just put two of the same weapon types in each hand, then have access to a plethora of spells. The game really seems to emphasize player choice in restricting you down to the five spells on the hot bar. My question is- is there any sort of punishment for using the weapon swap to just double your hotbar size? Even buffs seem to carry over so long as they are on the same bar

    the punishment to me is a lack of versatility that comes with a second weapon, but other than that I think not.

    It's basically just an extension to your hotbar. With the added bonus of a weapon switch if you like.
    There's no downside to using it.

    There are several situations where it's helpful to have 2 different weapon types equipped, for example a ranged and a melee weapon. If you put two of the same weapon in you lose that option.

    Only thing is summons do not persist through the swap unless they are sloted on both bars.

    Other than that knock yourself out, just don't forget what bar you're on in the heat of battle.
