Aion 2 presets

Can I switch during a fight?

Yes. Boss fights included.
Not while a Stigma is on cooldown. That blocks Skills presets, and any Set that changes your Skills preset.

Is there a wait between switches?: Yes. You wait about 1 to 1.5 seconds before the next switch.
Do my buffs stay when I switch?: Yes. A buff you already cast keeps running. So you can switch, cast your buffs, then switch back.
Do skill cooldowns reset when I switch?: No. A switch never resets a cooldown. A skill you used stays on cooldown in your other presets too.

Pantheon

Does a skill reset clear every preset?: No. It clears only the selected preset. Resetting skill points is free.

These are the default keys. N1 to N6 are on the number pad.
Number	Everything (Set)	Gear only	Skills only
1	`Ins`	`Alt` + `N1`	`Alt` + `N4`
2	`Home`	`Alt` + `N2`	`Alt` + `N5`
3	`Pg↑`	`Alt` + `N3`	`Alt` + `N6`

You can also switch Gear presets in the Cube, Skills presets in the Skills window and Title presets in the Title window.

A Set holds one preset of each type. You get 3 Sets. Equip a Set to switch every type at once.

To equip a Set, press its default key: Ins for Set 1, Home for Set 2, Pg↑ for Set 3. Or follow these steps:

Do the preset numbers have to match?: No. Set 1 can use Gear preset 2 with Skills preset 1.
Is a change to one preset saved in the Set?: Only after Save Changes. Until then the change is temporary. If you switch Sets or equip the same Set again first, it's gone.
Does a Set switch your Closet look?: No. The Closet has its own 3 presets. You switch them by hand in the Closet.

A Stigma is on cooldown. That blocks Skills presets, and any Set that changes your Skills preset.
You switched again too soon. You wait about 1 to 1.5 seconds before the next switch.
One of the Set's presets can't be equipped. Then the whole Set doesn't switch.
You can't act (stunned, for example). You can't switch gear presets then.
Not enough free Cube space. A gear switch needs one free slot for each piece of gear it adds to your Cube.
