Elementalist able to weapon swap ?
Wow Coopziana, you seem a little hostile, not sure why you decided to single me out, I didn’t start this post I simply responded to it.. As far as laziness is concerned, it’s more a matter of convenience. Switching weapons out of combat is not a big deal, but when you have 100 pieces of loot in your bags its not always that easy to find your staff or daggers when switching out. And as far as wasting forum space and time is concerned, wouldn’t you be a bit of a hippocrate by further responding??

How about a simple compromise… allow an Ele to have a second weapon slot, but only switch while out of combat. I use my daggers primarily, but hate having to dig thru my bags and find my staff, when im in the mood or need it….
This applies to all classes because none of them can equip all the types of weapons that are equippable, at the same time. Better to ask for all classes to have slots to carry all equippable types that they are able to use. And then give those slots ooc switch buttons.
Although his/her last post was a bit hostile I like Coopziana’s post at the top of the page because it kinda reaffirms what I think of this whole ele weapon swap idea. It seems to me that ele’s have so many options in their attunements and usable weapons that the only real downside to playing an ele is the lack of ready weapon swap. So to ask for in combat weapon swap is kinda like a spoiled kid wanting all the toyz. To ask for ooc combat weapon swap is just trying to get closer to a way to work an in combat weapon swap.
If it’s purely a QoL issue, ask for all the classes to get this QoL improvement rather than single the ele out for one. By singleing the ele out for it, it creates the impression that any weopon swap is desired to make up for the combat weapon swap that the ele’s are specifically intended not to have. So why would A-net give something in it’s place when they feel they already gave them something in it’s place? Maybe this post should be called “Give all classes ooc weapon swap”.
Guild Wars 1 had 4 weapon slots on the UI. I’ve often wished they had the equivalent. Let them be locked in combat to the two (or depending on profession, one) you choose and then can’t switch again to another set until out of combat. It would encourage people to use different weapons depending on the situation instead of only one set. Right now people tend to settle on one set and that’s all they use. Then they complain that combat is stale. Freeing up the ease of switching for all professions would benefit all.
Unless they give every other class a way to switch the use of their weapons while also being able to switch weapons I don’t think nor do I even hope to see this implemented. But I also would hate to see that put in I think it is nice the way it is set up every class has a unique aspect for it for whatever Fnumber he uses.
Elementalists have the best weapons swap ever…. There elements. You know those count as weapon swaps towards weapon sigils. Thats 4 weapon swaps for you sigil and 20 skills instead of 10. Win!
The sigils work on a cooldown, so you aren’t getting any more benefit than another player would.
Also, your 20 skills often have half the functionality of a skill on another profession’s bar.

End of the day what you are suggesting is a 1-click option that put’s an end to you being lazy. You CAN switch weapons, outside of battle by equipping the weapon from your inventory. That’s good enough. Stop posting about weapons swaps for ele’s as it’s simply wasting time and forum space.
Kind of like how you are lazy for being able to do the same thing. hypocrite
I agree tired of all classes not being equal weapon swap for Ele and Engi is a good start on correcting that issue..
