{{Update|reason=New sources of weapon passive points with the removal of Cruel}}
'''Weapon sets''' are two sets of different main hand and off hand slots that can be swapped between during gameplay. Players can also assign a certain amount of [[passive skill]] points to weapon sets individually.

__TOC__

==Mechanics==
Characters can equip two sets of [[weapon]]s or [[off hand]]s. Each of your [[skill]]s can be assigned one or both specific weapon sets as long as they are compatible with the equipped items; if a skill is assigned to the opposite weapon set only, the weapon set is swapped automatically when using that skill. Certain skills such as {{il|Blink}} must be assigned to both weapon slots to be usable.

It is also possible to switch between them manually through a keybind for weapon swapping or in the inventory panel. The default weapon swap keybind is {{key press|X}}.

You can set an equipment to be used in both weapon slots by right-clicking the item from the Equipment menu.

== Weapon set passive skill points==
Players can assign [[passive skill]]s for a specific weapon set by using '''Weapon Set Passive Skill Points''' to flexibly allocate different passive skills for different skills. Weapon set passives require an equivalent number of unallocated regular passive skill points to allocate. They do not inherently grant extra passive skill points. Instead, they convert a number of your passive skill points into weapon set passive skill points.

These can be obtained from certain [[boss]]es or [[quest]]s in the [[act]]s which reward a {{il|Book of Specialisation}}, or certain bonus objectives. A total of '''24 points''' can be earned across the campaign:

;Act 1
* Defeat [[The Crowbell]]
* Complete {{ql|The Lost Lute}}
;Act 2
* Defeat [[Kabala, Constrictor Queen]]
* Complete {{ql|Tradition's Toll}}
;Act 3
* Defeat [[Mighty Silverfist]]
* Perform the Blood Sacrifice in [[Aggorat]] with the {{il|Sacrificial Heart}}
;Act 4

;Interlude 1

;Interlude 2

;Interlude 3

These points can be distributed as follows:

* '''Set 1:''' Up to a maximum of '''24 points'''.
* '''Set 2:''' Up to a maximum of '''24 points'''.
* '''Shapeshift:''' Up to a maximum of '''24 points''' can be assigned to a third set if the player has a [[Shapeshift]] skill.

The [[Witchhunter]] notable [[Weapon Master]] converts 100 regular passive points into weapon set passive points.

The same number of weapon set passive skill points must be unspecced in order to reallocate them as a regular passive skill point.
