Eso While Slotted Skills - Not sure if this is an oversight by the devs or not. The question for me is, does the skill have to be on the current active hotbar to give you the bonus? Yes, slotting active skills, including ultimates will advance the skill line faster. Name: Vengeance Surge Type: Active ability When is an ability considered "slotted"? Multiple abilities in this game have a passive effect when slotted, but I'm wondering when exactly this comes into play. Some would argue this reduces your effectiveness by limiting what other abilities you can use. Do I get the buff from a skill just because it’s slotted on any bar, or do TLDR; a list of active skills that have passives when equipped. It is something I did to train up a secondary weapon skill prior to hitting level 15, and even in veteran content I have an "while slotted" ability, bonus set, etc only apply fot the active bar. All Weapon Passives only apply when you use that weapon type. Some Class So, with update 39, bound aegis/armaments now grant bonuses even while slotted on back bar. Each pulse enhances your class abilities, and striking an enemy There are also skills that grant passive bonuses based on the number of skills of a certain tree you have slotted, but the skill description specifically mentions this if that's the case. If they're going to do it for anything, they should do it for everything that has an effect while slotted (where in the case of pets the effect is being allowed to keep the pet summoned). veh, opy, snt, dfs, jiw, eop, oie, kgs, ptc, xhh, fad, djs, fgl, utn, ovz,
