Path of Exile 2: Wand/Focus Stats not applying after T1 Maps

Hello,

My wand stats are no longer applying to character builds when equipped. Has always been applied and effective until I completed T1 maps in Endgame. As soon as I did, the stats/modifiers no longer are applying.

Logged out, restarted console, etc, multiple times. Any help on what to do or how to make sure all gear is being applied?

Nothing is equipped in my II weapon slot.

Bind the action for swapping weapon sets, so you can swap back to weapon set 1.

Another thread with the issue, though they were using a Staff in weapon set 2: https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/3731536

It might just be a console issue, I couldn't replicate it on PC with controller.
I think it's a console issue with PS5. I've reset all Weapon set 1 & 2 skills, equipped and unequipped every item, restarted game, etc. Noticed All stats within weapon set 1&2 are no longer applying.

I am experiencing the same issue/bug on PS5. I have always had wand in hand for skills through gameplay. Once I equipped a staff for Sigel of Power in Weapon set 2 and used it - all stats that apply within weapon sets 1 & 2 are no longer applying to my Sorcerer.

I've been in hideout, unequipped all weapons, reset skills to Weapon Set 1 only, restarted the game multiple times, etc. Ever since I used weapon swap for the first time - all stats for Wand and focus are no longer applying, even in hideouts. Stats, Mana Increase, ES increase, +Level Spell skills, etc for both wand, focus, and staff no longer apply.

Any idea or support on how to fix??
Same thing in xbox. I just hit maps the other day.

If I put wand and focus in weapon slot 2 everything gives the bonuses. But nothing works in weapon slot 1.
This is happening to me in 0.3.1b..or c or whatever the latest is.

it's very annoying. I basically notice my DPS drop significantly and I have to switch from set 1 to set 2 and then the levels from wand and focus are added.

Then awhile later it happens again and I have to switch back to weapon set 1.

I am on PC. I wonder if it is somehow related to using controller. I don't know. It didn't happen until this season for me.

If this works like it does on my end on ps5, where the stats can get totally fubar-ed, it helps to cast something with weapon set 1. That seems to 'reset' the UI to use weapon 1 instead.
