how do you switch between duel wielding and casting?

Post » Thu May 10, 2012 12:13 pm

i have a heal spell i favorited. plus i duel wield two daggers. i want to be able to switch between a cast in my left hand and the two daggers but when i switch to the heal spell when i switch back to the two daggers now it just goes to a block in my left hand. i have to go into my inventory and reequip the 2nd dagger? which pretty much makes it impossible to duel wield and cast anything?

Favorite it and then in the favorites menu that you can pull up by hitting the Q key you then either right or left mouse click the spell or the item to equip it

Press Q

Hover the mouse over the spell/item and hit a number between 1 and 8, that will be the hotkey for the item.

Nope. What you can do, is bind dagger 1 to "1", dagger 2 to "2". When you press "1", your char should automatically take the second dagger in the off-hand. But this only works as long as you dont use any spell. You will have to reconfigure after that. At least that's the only way I managed. Kinda svcks...
