Not usable with current weapon set settings

I encountered this problem last night with Herald skills.

After reading through the last few pages of people offering solutions, I found that my problem was having too many auras requiring Spirit after changing a piece of equipment.

The complete fix I've found:

1) Turn off ALL of your Spirit-cost skills.
2) Click the arrow to the right of the DPS for the detail window.
3) Select the weapon set you want the skill gem to work with.
4) After enabling the weapon set, ensure the skill gem is turned off, continue to the next one.

It seems like the game's default checks for spirit cost, and if it's adjusted below what's required, it turns off all the skill gems requiring spirit via weapon set selection, and it may function like that for all stat checks.

I hope this helps.

I ACCIDENTALLY FIXED IT! AND FIGURED IT OUT!

As I was about to start recutting all my skillgems to see if that would fix it, I was gonna stash my archmage (which had the same bug, but that was fixable since you can enable it for 1 weapon set at a time), I accidentally ctrl+clicked it in to my skills and it lost the ! warning and I was able to just right click activate it.

Tried same with blink, blink also works now.


tldr; This method works, you may need to do it a few time. Also try cycle the steps with another gem.

Just drop by to say TY and recommend this option. Don't know what made you try ctr-click the gem but it works. I had 2x Convalescence gem bug out on me while trying different spirit gem build.
I had to ctr-click the gem from the skill panel and inventory a few times to make it work, so it may not work on the first try. I fixed 2x of my bug gems this way - was deciding whether to log a case with GGG as one of my gem had a +1 from corruption.
I had a problem with using a weapon with +int in slot two to use Elemental Weakness. Was not working, got the ! and the error text. All requirements met and correctly set slot II for the gem. Skill bar tooltip says "not enough mana" (lie).

To my surprise ctrl + click to equip the gem works, drag and drop bugs it. Thanks for the trick!

Edit: The error went away but I still can't use the skill.
Found out you can't cast spells with Talisman.

Okay i figured this out, the game saves gem settings for the last X gems equipped. Somehow my gem convalescence gets broken settings saved. But if i uneqip and equip it back and forth it remembers it (ie still broken). But when i went through a few other gems and then back to the broken one it worked again!

I can trigger the bug again and when it happens even my skeletal warrior at 2 skeletons (0 spirit cost) says i have too little spirit wtf, i have 230 spirit. So i somehow buggily run out of spirit which disables the gem too hard. It still broke way too often but i swapped to a newly made gem and then back and now it seems fixed. Buggy ass game.
