Action Bar & 2+ weapons skills?

Pear_Core · May 2014

I'm new to the game so I am looking for help. I have a Templar who's been using both One Hand and Shield & Restoration Staff.

So, on my Action Bar for buttons 1&2 I have the 1H&Shield skills [Puncture] and [Low Slash]. For button 4&5 I have the ResStaff skills [Grand Healing] and [Regeneration].

But if I am equipped with one weapon the skills for the other weapon fade out and become unusable, and vice-versa. So if I get to the point where I have 5 One Hand and Shield skills and then I switch to a Restoration Staff, all of the skills would fade out and become unusable. So how do you keep the skills up for multiple weapons?

There is probably something I am missing here. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

You cannot use a weapon's skills unless you have that particular weapon equipped.

That time will come when you hit level 15 and can equip a secondary weapon, which you can switch between in combat and receive a separate action bar for.

That being said, you will still receive experience for the Restoration Staff skill line for having the abilities sat on your action bar before level 15, even if you can't use them with your 1h+Shield equipped.

So if you are coping well enough with your 2 skills from 1h+Shield tree, there is no harm levelling up your Resto Staff ready for when you get the weapon swap ability at level 15.
