In GuildWars we were able to have an unused/hidden offhand in the offhand slot even though a two handed weapon, such as a bow or staff, might have been in use. This enabled for quick weapon changes when needed and also kept our inventories cleaner.

Currently if you have a mainhand and offhand weapon which you then replace with a two-handed weapon, both the main and offhand are sent to the inventory with only the mainhand weapon being swapped to where the two-handed weapon was while the offhand is sent to the top of your inventory depending on the type of bags* you use.

If you’re like me you then have a compulsion to stop mid combat and drag the missplaced offhand back to wherever you place your other weapons in order to keep things neat and tidy. It also slows down weapon changes ever so slightly.

Might we see an equipped (unused) offhand when using two-handed weapons in the future? Am I crazy? What are your thoughts?

*Note:Unsure if equipment/exotic bags change this, I would assume so but don’t use them myself. Clarification needed.

This is has already been implemented, Only a few classes can swap weapon like that.

Which classes, and why would it only be limited to a few.

Because some Classes already have so many abilites that they can swap that they are barred from Swapping weapons, How ever Guardian and Warrior both have the ability to swap weapons during combat. Its a Balance system. You’ll just have to play a class that can swap weapons if you want that feature.

Sorry, it seems I may have confused you. I’m not talking about the two weapon sets that most classes get, I’m talking about the ability to change within those two on the fly (while out of combat) and how if you replaced your main/offhand weapon with a 2-handed weapon, then the offhand would shoot into the first available slot in your inventory rather than remain in the equipped slot but be unused.
