Yep, that’s basically how it is until 80, now take a different weapon and start filling its slots..
Basically you get 5 weapon skills (keys 1-5), they depend on weapon, so if you have a greatsword, for example, and switch to swords, they’ll be different (and need to be filled if you haven’t done it yet). 2 hand weapons use all 5 skills, if you’re using 1 hand weapons then 1-3 will come from the main hand, and 2-5 from the off hand.
BTW, at level 7 you get weapon swap, meaning you can have a second set of weapons and swap them at anytime (10 secs cooldown while in combat), unless your character is an elementalist (elementalists get 4 attunements for each weapon, F1-F4, each attunement has different skills, so it’s equivalent to have 4 weapon for each one) or an engineer (engineers can’t weapon swap, but get kits, like grenade, flamethrower, bombs and so on, that act as weapons since they override your 1-5 skills)
Phew! Hehe. I thought I’d missed something (nothing new there!). Thank you for the heads up – I really appreciate it.
