Skill selection

Bug Report
1

I don’t have the side navigation keys of the enablers, so I can’t change them or move them within the action bar

RTFM…

If you want to assign your skills in a non-standard configuration (for example, choosing four defensive skills), first open your game menu, choose “options,” then “gameplay,” and check the “elective mode” box.

then pressing the “S” button to select the enables I do not have the left and right arrows to move between defensive secondary primaries…
game to diablo for years this is a mistake that I have here on the ptr

Boubou has already given you the answer. Go to turn on the option.

Seems the US game guide is broken. Use EU website:
https://eu.diablo3.com/en/game/guide/gameplay/combat-skills#changing-your-skills

but I repeat that’s not the problem, it’s 10 years at least I play Diablo.
I don’t see the directional arrows to change the selection of the various skills, it’s an interface error.

I have this problem only in the ptr, on the normal game they appear to me

I think having a few screenshots would be useful…

Are you referring to these 2 arrows ?

The Options is separate between regions… you can have Elective Mode enabled on Europe, but not on PTR. Is “Elective Mode” enabled on PTR ?

Wrong Forum, This forum is for Live Bugs. PTR bugs have their own forum.

And as stated, VERIFY you have elective mode checked on the PTR. PTR uses default settings so the box by default will not be checked on the PTR version even if you have it enabled on the live version. They are different clients and settings are not shared between them.

Agreed. This is the wrong forum for PTR Bug Reports. But, this is not a bug.

Tip: I hate having to remember my Preferences on the Live server and try to set them up on the PTR server. So, I open my “D3Prefs.txt” file, “Select All”, “Copy” that. Then, I open my “D3PrefsPTR.txt” file, “Select All”, “Paste” the information and “Save” the “D3PrefsPTR.txt” file.

Now, my D3Prefs.txt file and my D3PrefsPTR.txt file have the exact same data in them.

Your D3 Preferences files are located in your Documents\Diablo III folder.

sorry if I wrote in the wrong place. the mistake is just what i did as Perusoe says below but i haven’t solved the problem, what should i do exactly?
Thank you

I don’t think Elective mode is stored in D3Prefs.txt. So, copying the pref file won’t do it.

Just go into the game and set the Elective mode in the Option as said in the game guide.

In the game guide:

Changing Your Skills

Changing the skills at your disposal can be done from your skills menu: simply choose the skills you’d like to use. If you want to assign your skills in a non-standard configuration (for example, choosing four defensive skills), first open your game menu, choose “options,” then “gameplay,” and check the “elective mode” box. Though you can swap your active skills instantly outside of combat, if you try to swap passive skills while you’re roaming the wilderness or crawling through a dank dungeon, they’ll be unavailable for a brief recharge time (a “cooldown” ).

Press ESC to open game menu, and follow the instruction above.

I thought all of the Options were saved in the Preferences files. Maybe it’s just Video, Audio and Cinematics. If not… then, my bad.
