Issue with weapon set (PS5)

Don’t know if it’s global or specific to PlayStation. But the stats for my wand & focus constantly, randomly get dropped from my character. I then have to switch them to the opposite set and set the skills to only use that set so they have the associated stats. In the linked video (about 1:28) you can see my energy shield drop from over 7k to 6100 in game and I die as a result from all associated stats no longer utilized by my character https://youtu.be/hSC9EVe0xE4?si=rSExlYFCimNpMBEv

Do you actually have your skills set only the weapon set with your Wand? If you did, they should swap back to your Wand's weapon set when you cast them.

In the video, you swapped weapon sets because you used the skill granted by your Staff, which obviously can't be used without the Staff's weapon set active.

Yes I have all my skills tied to the set with my wand. But that does not mean anything when I lose all the associated stats provided by my wand & focus - mana, intelligence, energy shield, cast speed, etc. I couldn’t understand why I was moving thru that map and then all of a sudden got bogged down at the ritual and died. When I was in my hideout I noticed my ES was 6100 & not 7100 and knew exactly what happened. So I recorded the footage to see if it had indeed happened in game which it clearly did. This has happened to me many, many, many times

Can you show a screenshot or video showing that the skills are set to only the wand's weapon set?

Go to skill options and set where you want them used. Makes for auto weapon set swapping. Not sure what this has to do with anything I’m talking about. Here you can also see that currently my weapon set 1 is bugged so when I switch my wand into it all my stats change, then when I put it back it reverts to what my totals should be. Eventually this slot will get bugged and I’ll have to switch them again. It keeps happening…

Your issue is that the skills are not auto weapon set swapping, not that "the slots are bugged".

You swap weapon sets when you use Sigil of Power, because the skill is bound to that weapon. You cannot use Sigil of Power with your Wand's weapon set. Using a skill bound to your Wand's weapon set should swap you back.

In your video, it does not. The first time you use Sigil of Power is after activating the Ritual, where your Max ES drops and never goes back up. Looking more closely, you can also see that your character is holding the Staff in her right hand and casting with her left, instead of casting with the Wand in her right wand.



If you try casting Sigil of Power in your hideout, or some other safe combat area--does using another skill properly swap you back to the Wand weapon set afterwards? Which would be obvious by your max ES going back up?

I only have a level 30 mage, but haven't been able to replicate the issue even with a Staff granting Sigil of Power. My skills bound to the Wand's weapon set still swap me to that weapon set properly.

Not sure what you’re talking about. In both videos you can clearly see that my energy shield value is over 7100 then when the issue happens it is at 6100. It is clear as day. I play like this all the time. I only use the staff for sigil of power, everything else is with my wand. There is a bug, there is video evidence.

The second video shows that your active weapon set is weapon set 2. That is not an issue--aside from the Controller UI always showing the character model as though weapon set 1 is active.

Yes, the first video appears to show this, when paired with the second video showing that the skills are disabled for the other weapon set.
I'm not saying that there is no bug. I'm suggesting that what's happening isn't random, and the bug isn't that the weapon slots aren't working.

If using a skill set to only your Wand's weapon set is not swapping to the Wand's weapon set, that is a bug.

Look at your first video:
1:20 Your character is in front of the ritual altar, holding the wand and focus.
1:25 You activate the altar and walk away, casting Flame Wall
1:26 You cast Sigil of Power. It goes on cooldown, and your ES drops to 6100 because you swapped weapon sets to use the skill.
1:27 You cast Frost Wall, and start casting Spark. Your ES is still at 6100, and your character's Staff is still in hand instead of a Wand. Using skills did not swap your weapon to the Wand.



Try playing without using Sigil of Power for a while, and see if the issue still occurs.
Otherwise, try assigning a button to the skill granted by your wand to use when the issue occurs.

(to clarify, when I couldn't replicate the issue, that was on PC)
