Edit: this doesn't seem to work 100% of the time. Maybe the ancients need to be in a combat animation.
I also managed to get it to work outside of combat by adding additional input to delay client-to-server communication. I did this by starting with only 3-piece equipped. You quickly equip the 4th piece, use CoTA, and switch out an IK piece all at once. So, click item -> CoTA -> click item
