Not talking about swap-casting here (if it exists still, I've not found it comfortable or a need to use before.)
So I've been playing and noticing more often that my right click has been changing what skill is selected. Leaving me to trying cast something like my Frozen Orb but instead I've got my Fireball ripping off. Has almost been fatal a few times.
This would be having my Orb on right click and Fireball bound to Q in quick cast mode.
What turns out to be happening is that Holding Q and swapping to my Gull 2nd wep set is actually setting Fireball (Q) to be my right click when I swap back to my main weapon set, moving my Orb to right click on my second set. (Which was already there, but more on this decision to use the word "Moving" in a moment.)
If I was now to hold a different Key, lets say Telekinesis (bound to A) on the main weapons set while swapping to the off set, the Fireball skill would now be pushed onto the second weapon set, and the Telekinesis skill would now be set to my right click on my main set. So these skills seem to be actually moving around.
For clarity; it changes the skill selected for right click on the weapon set you swapped from, not the one you're swapping to.
Is anyone else noticing this? I understand right away it's preventable by just making sure you're not holding any skills during the weapon swap, but it's becoming annoying. I actually had a buddy I managed to finally convince to play D2 with me get cast town portal switched into his right click while we were under pressure in Plains of Despair (I assume some Key mashing happened)... He cast it about 5-6 times instead of his Exploding Arrow and that was it.. Alt+F4 and done. (He had low tolerance to begin with and I was just hoping to get him to toss a LF Javelin into a pack in Hell and be addicted after melting them )
I've noticed it on a few different characters after swapping to quick cast mode, which I'm enjoying on some classes/builds. I wish it's selection was saved relative to what character it's been turned on with though.
Has anyone else noticed this? I'm just wondering if it's a local thing to me, maybe buddy just held a different keybind instead of right click and I have not figured out what caused that for him. (Knowing how he games, I can't see him pressing a Key instead of right click. But, you never know.)
