Passive skills on ability bars

Xelyum · June 2023

The recently released arcanist has a skill called "Tome-Bearer's Inspiration" that provides a passive bonus while slotted on an ability bar. From my understanding, it provides its passive benefit as long as it's slotted, and not only while it's on the active bar.
If that's the case, can we get a similar treatment for other skills that provide passive benefits while slotted ? Skills such as Magelight from the Mages guild, Inferno from the Dragon Knight or Bound Armor/Armaments from the Sorcerer.

Yes, that's indeed the case with this skill.

I also agree to your suggestion in general to expand this system to all classes, although I expect some tinkering with skills would be necessary due to balancing.

@ZOS_Kevin has the team heard/thought of this?

We can pass this suggestion on to the dev team. No promises, but it's good to hear when there is a positive skill change that could potentially be implemented elsewhere.

I don’t mind this change but if it does happen both lotus morphs from Warden should be revamped/healing buffed. It’s already barely useful.

if its providing bonus while just being slotted, regardless if its on active bar, i wonder why the first suggestion was not sorc pets lol

let the pet be active regardless if the skill is on active bar, you just lose the ability to cast the pet skill or resummon if the pet dies and you need to change bars
