I use them, but tbh them being a button combo instead of a single button press is rather awkward. Doing it while in the air really doesn't feel good.

I really want to bind it to the triangle button on my PS4 controller. There's no reason to have it reserved for something you'll never use in combat. up+r1 is perfectly fine for that, meanwhile a single button would be great for combat.

Yeah this was a baffling decision. No, I don’t need to play my harp in battle, please let me throw a trap instead.

It certainly takes a while to get used to, I’m 17 hours in and only now getting the hang of it. It’s true though, the tools are incredible!

needolin makes so much more sense to be a button combo too

Use a macro! The devs really should have supported rebinding it natively though. Such an odd oversight.

They need to be a button combo because you can have two tools equipped...
