Binding to Skill Bar + Sands of Time (Controller input)

Game Version: 0.4c
Platform: PC/Steam
Input Method: Xbox Controller / (Controller)
Category: UI / Gameplay
Severity: Moderate

This bug may particularly affect Sorceress / Chronomancer players.


Issue summary: Player cannot bind skills to skill bar when "Sands of Time" skill is enabled via the passive skill tree ascendancy AND controller is the primary input. While Sands of Time is active, the constant flickering of the percentages between 1-60% of cast speed and AoE causes the UI skill bar to reset every "tick" (one second).

This causes the player to be unable to change skill binds for ALL skills / context options during gameplay. This bug causes the skill screen to constantly reset every time Sands of Time ticks, leaving the player unable to make their selection. While active, the game will revert player selections to the red X in the top left row.

Workaround: Refunding passive points out of ascendancy and Sands of Time via Doryani/Hooded One/Balbala fixes the issue and will allow you to bind skills normally. Unfortunately, this costs gold each time you wish to make changes to the skill bar.
