Was there a specific reason

That you changed the behaviour of using swapping weapon to end a channel from a staff to quickly block? It was a huge bit of muscle memory for me, if I had a rager in my face, I could weapon swap and immediately block and/or shove which would interrupt the channel and perform the weapon swap. Now I have to release the channel and wait for some amount of time before the game will allow the weapon swap, and only then can I activate block. It’s so much clunkier than it was.

Why was it changed to something that is just overall worse and less intuitive?

I smell a hamfisted and undocumented? attempt to tone down staff macros. Can anyone confirm?

I’m not seeing this behavior. Maybe it’s only with certain staves/the new force swords? Tested each staff and it was fine.

Was just holding down right click and then weapon swapping.

It’s with the purg, not the initial charge up, but the channeled release. The old behaviour was that you could weapon swap during the release channel and it’d end the channel and weapon swap. The current behaviour is weapon swapping is disabled while doing the release channel.

Maybe it’s a bug, or there was some specific reason this was changed, but all I know is that the gameplay is very clunky with it how it is now.
