Most classes has weapon swap in-combat and most classes may see this as sufficent.
Elementalists for example can only have one weapon set and if they want to use another, they have to go into the inventory and manually equip them.
Still, nobody can swap gear without going into inventory.

I personally would pay alot of gems (i wouldn’t mind it being free still) for being able to swap weapons and gear out of combat via a shortcut, perhaps F5-F8.
It would be even better if I could save some trait sets that I could swap between.
Swapping builds this way would help alot to bring more diversity to a dungeon or other fight without too much hassle.

You can already change build out-of-combat so it’s nothing game-breaking.
But this change would make it alot easier and more people would do it and thus be more helpful when it’s needed.
You can swap to the aoe-build when zerging WvW and then you can swap to your 1v1 nuke when you run around in wvw and scout. Entering a dungeon you can swap to your survivability gear or whatever you prefer.

I do understand that this suggestion would demand alot of rewriting the engine, but you can sell slots and make alot of money on it. (Could keep 2 slots free and then sell up to x slots perhaps). On top of that, it would satisfy alot of players who are currently digging in their inventory for their gear swap and wasting time for the party that has to wait for them.
