How do you switch skills quickly without changing your weapon in hand? (Diablo II)

Question

I'm a Paladin in Diablo II, and I want to know how it's possible to switch skills really quick. I'm using Blessed Hammer in my second set of gear, and that's for attack. The first set is for defending and healing. So, I want to know how to use Defiance and Cleansing whenever I want a certain one, so if I just want defense, I use Defiance, but Cleansing is for healing and getting rid of poison.
Thanks in advance!

The fastest way to switch skills in Diablo 2 is to use the mouse wheel or direction function key. In order to do this, you have to assign skills to your F keys and then you'll be able to switch to them in order of what you have assigned.
For example:

Open up your quick list of spells (default S key)
Hover over the skill you want to assign with your mouse to F1 and click F1
This will have now assigned the skill to your F1 key
Continue to do this for any number of skills you want to do
Now you have the option to actually press the function key to jump straight to the skill or use the mouse wheel to cycle through your skills in order
