Elementalist Idea
I just wish elementalists could switch weapons mid-battle. It would be cool if ele’s could use the ice bow without it ever disappearing, like it’s an ‘eternal summon’ – maybe for them get a bow of each element; fire, water, earth, air- same with the hammers, axes & swords! It would prob have to be a glyph skill that can be activated & deactivated at the players will.
I wish they could make the flame axe and magnetic shield more than useless skills. The damage they deliver is ridiculous.
Elementalists have more than enough toys as it is.
1) They do not need new weapon types.
2) They do not need weapon switching.

^seconded. My first ever character was a Norn Elementalist who was gonna go around bash things around with the Earth Shield… Sigh.
Do you even lift, bro?
Why not give Engineers and Elementalists a weapon switch that cannot be used inside of combat? Let them do something useful with the swap key, while maintaining the design decision to not let them use swaps in the same way other professions do.
They also, at this point, have to give up inventory space to hold more weapons, and inventory space was never intended to be a profession feature.
Making the elemental weapons behave more like Engineer kits (perma-summons) would be interesting.
As this is about the thousandth thread asking for Ele weapon swaps…again, I vote no. If we get the swap, we’re going to have other things nerfed to compensate, and I think it works well as-is. Out-of-combat swaps would be fine, as that shouldn’t affect combat balance.
