    Re-keybind the button to something closer to the keys you use. I hated if before I keybound it to V. If you're a console player, well uh, riperoni

    Its super annoying when you lag out and can't swap.

    When I am running around questing I don't bother to swap, but things die too fast anyway.

    Most builds you can set it up so one bar is buffs or long lasting skills so you only have to swap every 20 secs.

    Only an issue then you are on the wrong weapon. It happens somthimes even if I:
    1) have radical different look on staffs, bow is fairly visible.
    2) show bar all the time
    3) has one mouse button for switch to front bar and one to back
    Grinding just make you go in circles.

    Why do you not enjoy it? Can't imagine why unless I'm thinking about something else... weapon swap where on my nightblade I swap dual-wield to my bow, right? I cannot think of any reasons why I would not enjoy that.

    Key word is: happen sometimes and it feel stupid,
    Not something who is anything like an issue.
    Also an lag issue, had an very laggy nSO run there I did some wall of lighting rather than healing springs.
    More of an issue in the run was DD who engaged bosses before tank was ready,

    I have the swap key on the inside of the mouse. This makes it easier for me to quickly swap between weapons and skills. I would often swap weapons, use a skill, and then swap back.

    Same here, use an naga, right tilt on wheel is front bar, left for back.

    I don't mind weapon swaping, its annoying when your spamming the key in tough fights and nothing happens though, and can cost you your life on occasion.

    that said I personally know some players that cannot weapon swap if there life depends on it, when I help them with builds they let me know that it should be one bar only.

    It's so much easier to weapon swap then to have 10 different keys to remember and reach.

    I just wish there was a colored border around the bar (or something that boldly distinguishes them), say blue for 1 and red for 2, because I sometimes find myself using the wrong bar, until I realise. I wouldn't mind an extra skill slot or two on each bar, and would prefer if passive skills didn't take a slot on the main bar.

    I have an issue where I hit the swap, nothing happens and I don't realize it, causing me to use the complete wrong skill screwing me over.

    And that happens, a lot.

    I just wish it wasn't a swap from staff to another another.

    At least dual-wield to bow feels like it's got a point.

    I would suggest getting a cheap gaming mouse, with two extra buttons on the thumb. I started.using one a few years ago, and gaming has gotten so much better. I have my roll on one, and my swap on the other.

    1. I don't get what you're going on about here.
    2. Check your settings here mate. Bars can be adjusted to always show, show only while in combat or never show.
    3. Why? You can set one button to change buttons, no need to have two of them when you can only swap between two weapons anyways.

    I used to hate weapon swapping. I forced myself to get used to it, and now I can do it fairly competently. Don't mind it as much now. It just takes getting used to.

    weapon swqppibg is cricial part of game mechanics and you are losing lots of damage and utility if you dont use it. Like many have stated, the original wrp swsp button is in a *** place so it should ve changed and to ease your life i recommed binding swap to 1 and swap to 2 into their own buttons so you wont *** up by swapping back to front bar when you wanted to use backbar. I have bound thesr.into my mouse thumb buttons.

    I really like the bar system in ESO. I think it shines in lag-free PVP because PVP combat is so dynamic.

    What I hate is the PVE raid gameplay design that requires me to constantly execute abilities every second in predefined rotations for minutes at a time in order to play optimally.

    I just bind it to a spare mouse button, along with auto-run.
