Guild Wars 2

It seems in all aspects of GW2 that I pretty much want at least 2 armor sets and two builds, if not more. The problem is switching them around, which is very annoying.

Rift had ROLES which allowed for easy switching around of builds and it was great. You could have your bread and butter build + some others + an experiment. It was fun and added a lot to that game.

I would really enjoy that gaming element here in GW2. even if I have to go up to a NPC to do it, to be able to switch into a pre-set armor+build would be great.

Actually GW1 also had easy gear (weapons) swap.
Before you say that we got 2 different sets to switch between… GW1 had 4 different sets available.

Simply return the F1 / F2 / F3 / F4.
Wasn’t broken, keep it.

Agreed I have 3 sets and have to switch traits and manually switch gear for dog situations. I also get how I need to open the hero tab and manually drag that last ring and earring to replace the others cuz simply clicking on the ring doesn’t work. I

we still got that >>
its now ~
and its called weapon swap.
it was Weapon swap back in gw 1 to

In GW1 I had at least 20 different builds saved on my mesmer alone. Some for farming, some for HM, alliance battle, dungeons, etc etc.

GW2 can’t possibly have as many different builds for a profession, but I’d still like to swap between 2 or 3 setups.

I’d like to know if this is being considered for implementation.

Please read before you post….
“Before you say that we got 2 different sets to switch between… GW1 had 4 different sets available.”

This on top of the existing swap.
As a post above me mentioned opening the Hero tab and double clicking / dragging the item isn’t as efficient.
Sometimes you’re out of combat for a few secs, and while making sure you don’t get hit, you’d also like to switch to another weapon / gear / build that you can’t do all at the same time without getting hit since you couldn’t pay attention to your surroundings.

With any luck, this feature will be added in the future. I played GW1 a couple of months after release, & the weapon swap feature wasn’t added until later. Same with the builds that you are now able to save in GW1.

Will save myself a lot of gripes if they add armor swapping & the ability to save our build+trait setups

i read what you posted.
that was still weapon swap , wich had nothing to do with the armor/trinkets
even in gw1 i had to manually adjust my gear by dragging.
true we got 2 less swaps with our weapons.
but name a few instances where you actually need more then 2 weapons to swap in combat?
and just like in gw1 i had to manually equip my gear on approriat places

Well it’s all fine, but still I would like to have some gear/sets manager. I don’t know how about you but I have 3 sets and it’s extremely annoying to spend a minute or two just to change them. Moreover some parts of my set have the same icon (cause I transmuted them because they look great) so I have to sacrifice additional time to check my gear’s stats to make sure I’m wearing the one I want to. It would be so much easier if I could just save some sets and one-click change them.

Can we please get different roles?

I wouldnt even mind paying 100g to unlock the different roles like a commander icon.

Something where can have 2 sets of traits and swap when out of combat without having to goto a retrainer and retrain.

It’s likely builds will be implemented. I feel certain I saw a dev say as much, but I wouldn’t be able to find this now.

As to gear changing, I made an in-depth idea here that allows both simple and complex gear management and appearance changing. I forgot to mention that it was ideally suited for build management and swapping.
