Just imagine the hammer swap…
Thunk thunk thunk thunk boom thunk.

While amusing, I don’t think it would be a good idea.

Or in PvE, 100Blades, attack, attack, swap, 100 blades, attack, attack, swap, 100 blades…

Warriors would abuse it most due to 5 second weapon swaps. Other professions wouldn’t be quite as bad, but you thought Sword/Dagger Ranger was tough to hit before? Ohhh, you’ve seen nothing yet.

Jerus makes a good point. On a Thief it’s better to take two weapon sets, that way you can spam 10 skills over and over instead of just the five.

does initiative reset on weapon swap?

No – there’s actually a trait that grants initiative on weapon swap, and all.

A Thief might want to run two of the same weaponset with on-swap sigils, maybe, but the vast majority of the time they’re better running Shortbow for its utility.

Longbow rangers…

Necros don’t have reflects, invulns, vigor, blocks,
extra dodges, real stability, mobility skills,
burst skills, sustain, or good support. GG ANET.

Which ’back then’ is this? Not known any reasonable Thief to run anything without SB in the last year and a half or so - but I missed the earliest metas in the 6 months or so from launch.
I of course know of the first broken D/D Ele, and have heard a couple of less important things mentioned too, but don’t think anyone’s mentioned early Thief meta to me.

I want this, but I also don’t want it… like, I can see how awesome it would be, using a weapon set to skip CD’s, but then I see what other classes could do with it, and suddenly I see how bad it could become…

Doesn’t placing one mark overwrite any existing marks? Like… they last for 30s, and several mark skills have <30s cooldowns :P

Recasting a Mark before it expires/triggers will replace that Mark. Putrid Mark and Reaper’s mark both have 30+ second cooldowns.

The exceptions are Mark of Evasion and Mark of Revival, which do not replace Mark of Blood and Reaper’s Mark respectively.

was short after flanking strike got changed into flank + larc

didnt stay meta for long tho, when they fixed chain infil strikes it lacked mobility so there was no point for it anymore. Double Sets are still very strong in 1on1s tho (energy sigil + ini on swap)

Condition BM ranger with SD SD…..
Running poison master and geomancy sigils

you would never hit the ranger due to 100% evasion/dodge uptime. But he WOULD hit you
