Guild Wars 2

I would like to suggest giving us the ability to equip one of each type of usable weapon and then being able to swap between any equipped weapon.

- There would still be a 30 second delay on swaps, so this shouldn’t cause a balance problem

- Classes would still be limited to the weapons they can use, so this shouldn’t drastically affect class balance

- To those who are bored with the limited skills available this would open a bunch of new skills they could swap to

- The game is already balanced around being able to swap some, so those who just want to stick with 5 or 10 skills wouldn’t be substantially out powered by those that wanted to learn to swap all of their weapons

- This would dramatically increase the demand for weapons maybe helping the economy

So what you’re saying is that you would like to reduce the number of builds there are and eliminate even the semblance of uniquness for members of the same class?

I like the idea… I would hope there isn’t a 30 second weapon switch cooldown… that’s 3x what it is now

There are still utility slots for builds if you have to have them, and you can still be ‘unique’ by your choice of stat bonuses, sigils, armor, when you choose to use what weapons, etc…

This doesn’t take anything away from the game, it simple adds game play options and prevents players from sitting there spamming the same 3 or 4 abilities over and over.

It takes a significant amount from the game, actually. Which is almost certainly the reason that’s not how the game works.

Weapon swap should have been in the game before release and it should be for ALL your professions available weapons.

To not break any balance that ANet has in place, limit it to being in/out of combat as to being able/unable to swap weapons. Keep the ele and engineer limited to one weapon in combat, everyone else gets their 2.

But when a profession is out of combat they can switch to any weapon they want instead of manually opening inventory double clicking (twice if its equiping 2 single handed weapons)

In GW1 you had weapon sets, click a button and that set would come up. In GW2 we went backwards.
