Swapping bars on console has gotten worse, anyone else notice this?

So lately while fighting swapping bars has become somewhat of a nightmare. I'm hearing more and more people complaining about it too. Swapping to my back bar to heal and just end up hitting an ability on my front bar draining resources that I didn't want to use. Just wondering how big a problem this is.

    Its really no different and I started on PC and moved to console at launch.

    Is there a problem specific to your console or controller or a specific class or skill that is happening when you try to swap as there will be delays depending upon what was cast and what is next to cast. You can't swap during a pending action which is what I notice causes delays. If I'm just moving around, there is no delay.

    Waiting for my elite controller.

    Weapon swap is definitely going on a paddle. D pad is thecworst place possible for it. Same with potions.

    I've been running into this problem recently as well. Nothing is more annoying trying to use a DPS ability only to notice your just spamming entropy on your back bar...

    Bar swapping has always been problematic from the beginning, lag makes it worse.

    Just throwing it out there. The XB1 controllers are NOTORIOUS for having screwy d-pads. They might not activate sometimes or activate 2 or 3 times with a single click other times.

    This haunted me in Dark Souls where the d-pad is part of the religion, and it looks like the trashy d-pad is back to haunt me again.
