Guild Wars 2

As stated by many people before me, I’d like to say it again
Elementalists as it is ARE OP, that is if you know how to play them. As a guardian and warrior I find elementalists being the 2 extremes for me, very easy and very hard, depending on player skill. So yeah, you have plenty of skills, learn to use them.
Swapping weapon sets IN combat is just bald and stupid. I’m pretty sure gamers will be able to do it with ease neglecting the fact of inventory taking up part of your screen, and you are being egoistic if you think this is OK for everybody. Although I can swap weapon sets while running around, my father for example wouldn’t if he was to play gw2. And that my friend is unfair player advantage what you are requesting, you can shove it you know where.

Be respectful for the rest of the players not just yourselves. Why 99% of the suggestions are so egoistic in this forum >.> everyone wants boosts without sparing time to actually learn their class ._. Seriously guys….

I can think of only one way to allow Elementalists to swap weapons while in-combat, without being super OP…

Allow the player to assign weapons to attunements, and to keep it like all other profs, allow only two weapon sets to be assigned. For example:

Fire Attunement: Staff
Water Attunement: Staff
Air Attunement: Scepter/Focus
Earth Attunement: Scepter/Focus

So the type of skills you get depends on both attunement AND weapon

The Weapon/Attunement can be assigned on the Weapon Skill screen.

for all you people that think elementalists suck or not effective
this is just a random ele video, i sure as hell didn’t look for the best footage.
if you can’t do that guys, I pitty you

I love how these threads derail towards in-combat weapon swapping for eles because people can’t read. Of course in-combat weapon swapping is OP. Anyone with half a brain knows that. I have had an elementalist as my main (since pre-launch) and I would never be in support of such a thing. A highly skilled elementalist can practically take out anyone/anything as-is. They do not need a buff, especially one that overcomplicates arguably the most complicated class in the game.

On topic: Out of combat weapon swap really has no valid counter-arguments that make it unreasonable to implement. It allows you to do something you could always do in the hero panel in an instant rather than 3-4 seconds of fumbling and rearranging inventory. Heck, it’s almost become second nature to me at this point yet this suggestion would be welcomed by most.

make it an out of combat skill, with an on-the-move 3-5 second cast time

then it would take just as long as opening your inventory does now, but it would be a huge quality of life improvement
