Swapping are real pain right now in general. It have delay, its slow and it becomes unresponsive after use of some skills.
Why dont you just give it highest interrupt priority so weapons would swap immidietly when you press button ?

    Highest priority may be going to far, but definately a higher priority than they give it now.
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

    Only 5+1 abilities is a real dealbreaker for me, its so damn limited. The weapon swapping doesnt help much, its not like I have healing on only one weapon, the swapping cant be relied upon, and 1-3 sec for swapping, maybe or maybe not it swaps, if not I press again, then maybe or maybe not it swaps double, and back to square 1

    Give us at least 8 abilites to play with, if 12 total with weapon swapping is your limit, then make it possible to have 4 abilities that cant be swapped, and 4 that can be swapped for 4. Thats 12, then I dont have to slot same ability twice, like healing and magelight.

    Wep swap with 'bash priority' would rock, or at the very least have it action queued with zero chance on cancelling.

    Sometimes it feels real fluid, and other times it's a huge delay or doesn't go at all.

    Ofc that's been a plague lately for skills too.

    Would be nice to have an 'aura' slot, like ULT slot. (or defensive one). For all those wep swaps that you want to keep up Inner Light, Summons, Siphoning etc. Having to waste 2/10 is a little much. Or some 1-2s animation to activate it.

    I've asked myself a millions times why there is a weapon swap delay. It makes no sense to me.

    Funny thing is that they always say they dont want us to stare at the UI. Well, the weapon swap is the only thing that makes me stare.

    This is one of the most annoying things in ESO and i tend to avoid weapon swapping during a fight.

    Its a pain in the arse (arse is ok isn't it? its used ingame), can't say it often enough that its ruining the game. As a Templar I got so many abilities that does other stuff than healing and damaging, but I cant ever use more than one at a time.
    1. Heal
    2. AoE
    3. Ranged dps
    4. Stamina Wpn Ability
    5. Free slot

    Just looking at that list makes me feel imprisoned in a coffin 100000 feet below the surface. So claustrophobic

    Agree! Sometimes I've died because of swapping delay!
    Weapon swap MUST BE highest priority at all!

    But now if you are start casting - you will never swap untill animation ends.
    Also, if you triggeret ground target AOE skill mark - you will never swap weapon untill you have it active,

    This is extremely annoying!

    Hell, getting rid of delays in general would be nice. Weapon swapping delay is just the icing on the cake of delays. Everything has a delay in this game, weapon swaps, abilities, monster's spells not adding up to their casting animation etc etc. Over the course of levelling to VR 12 I've died countless times of damage that I couldn't dodge or avoid because the animation queue on the monster was still in "casting" even though I'd taken 2-3 ticks of damage before the animation landed.

    It's not often you see such a mess as this in a released MMO.

    Weapon swapping should be fast and interrupt any current cast/weapon hit without allowing said interrupted ability to fire/dmg/affect anything.

    I can deal with any delay built in if it's consistent but sometimes in Cyrodiil the lag spikes will make it so that you don't swap weapons until ten seconds after you've hit the key. It's always fun when you run into the breach pumping your fist and spamming mage light wondering why you're not streaking anywhere while the oil pours down on your head.

    I am glad a lot of people are complaining about this as well as ability delays (key release instead of key press). I hope it gets to the point to where Zenimax will tweak the combat system to be much more responsive and player-friendly.This way, people will feel like they ARE able to play any way they want to (referring to the poll thread regarding this).

    Zenimax, If you do this, I promise I will resubscribe without hesitation. Do we have a deal?
