No Skill Bar Swap With Weapon Swap Is Extremely Frustrating

This is actually such a no-brainer. The whole idea to have different skill sets and weapons is so awesome but is implemented so poorly. It's a shame.

Actually this is something I've thought about myself. Why swap weapons when my current gear is optimized for what I am currently using? GGG has done a great job in introducing this system, but they only went halfway and it will not see any use in its current state. If, on the other hand, you swapped skills with the weapon swap, you could build around that, perhaps developing a build better for bosses than pack clearing which would make the system incredibly useful and, perhaps more importantly, add enormously to player's agency and strategic decision making in considering their builds (not to mention it would give us something to do with all our excess gems which right now just sit in our stash).

If that feels overpowered, then limit the swap to outside of combat, forcing us to commit, before a boss for example.

I have good news and bad news:

Good news:

Yes, you can have the skills to change according to the Weapon Set.
Press G (Skills Menu) and click in the DPS square in the right side of your skill. In the window that opened, at the bottom right, there is 2 checkboxes where you can decide if that skill appears in both Weapon Sets or only one of them.
Its not perfect but kinda works.

Bad news:
That only works for Skills, base weapon attacks and Raise Shield does not have that option (don't know if they just forgot or if there's a reason).
So if you want to use a 2H Weapon and a Mace and Shield, forget it.

Sorry if someone already gave you that answer :)

The exact reason why the 'good' news is not good at all.
