I believe that there won't be a secondary implement slot once consumables go live. At that time, switching weapon sets will still be a one-click fast action, but switching implements will be an out-of-combat-only action that requires opening the paperdoll screen.I've never heard anything from developers about anything close to that scenario. If they were planning for implements to be an out of combat paper doll switch (like armor) why would they put two implement spaces on the paper doll each corresponding to a weapon set?
Which reminds me to make a post about keeping items equipped if that spot in the other set is empty.
I think I've figured out where I got confused. There's only one feature slot on the paperdoll, not only one implement slot.
So my new question is: Can you hot swap between a spell book and a rogue kit, or will you only be able to swap between two implements for the role corresponding to your slotted feature, like a spell book loaded with utility spells and a spell book loaded with attack spells?
If you can hot swap between implements from two different roles, will the implement from the role that doesn't correspond to your slotted feature operate at a significant disadvantage?

I sure wish we had a 'degree' key like that. You folks are awfully lucky...
I have the same wish. I write permits for a living, and each permit includes the latitude and longitude coordinates of the facility being permitted. You wouldn't believe how many people use a superscripted O or 0 in place of a degree symbol. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you have to open an ancient WordPerfect file, or convert an MS Word file into plain text. Suddenly, the shortcuts turn into either coordinates with too many digits, or letters where they don't belong.
It reminds me of the bad old days, when people who had learned to type on a typewriter would expect a computer to know that they meant 1 when they typed l, or that they meant 0 when they typed O.

I leveled as a cleric and a rogue in Alpha 7.1, with a battle focus in one set of hotkeys, and a bow in the other. I used stealth to sneak around and gather crafting materials, used the bow to pull enemies to me, and killed some of them with the battle focus.
I'd say that playing a multi-role character is working just fine so far.
Cool

Yes you can but yes it does, since expendables look for keywords matches on your slotted role feature not your equipped implement.

In Australia they are all referred to as "that foriegn squiggly stuff" .@albadeon The usage in English is by no means as univocal as it is in French. Circumflex can be either ^ or ~ . There is a third symbol referenced as well, but I haven't a ready example in my character-set. That symbol appears to represent an accent which begins and ends with a higher pitch, but lowers slightly in the interval.
Such a wonderful forum that such issues as this may be discussed civilly, without incurring apparent social penalties.
I don't know man it's all greek to me.

Problem is, that constitutes keys, not a key. That, and the fact that they haven't memorized the three digit code, is what leads people to substitute superscripted Os for proper degree signs.

How strange that people are willing to tell their word-processing software to super-script, but they're not willing to tell it to "insert symbol". Are there still people, using typewriters, who're rolling the platen back a bit manually to super-script, as my dad taught me, in grade school, how to do?

I agree that it's strange, but I see it happen pretty often. Having the degree symbol printed on a key would be easier than either of those options, as Being said.

The hardest thing about modern word processing software occurs when I inadvertently insert a typographic error. Since the white-out tends to drip down the monitor I know I have to start the page all over again, but where do you insert the paper?

... and it gets worse if you turn the monitor sideways for landscape.
