This has been brought up before and I’d like to bring it up again. Out of combat weapon swap for elementalists, will it ever happen?

It would be really nice if this could be implemented for all classes.

GW had four weapon setups that could be rotated by pressing F1-F4 while out of combat, provided that the registered weapons were in your inventory, and it would equip the new weps and store the old ones automatically.

So many QoL things in GW that would be really nice brought forward.

You could swap them anytime you wanted, not just out of combat. Actually there were many builds that utilized two weapon sets or even 3 in the case of casters.
(assassin’s with back-breaker for example)

He means that in gw1 you could have 4 (possibly more, hard to remember) different weapon sets, triggered with F1-F4. You could do that in or out of combat. They are asking for something similar for all professions (ele specifically since they can only have 1 weapon set) to let people change their weapons “on the fly” (without having to go into the hero tab) whenever they are out of combat.

They aren’t talking about switching weapons to their alternate set while in combat.

Hmm…I didn’t remember that you could swap while in combat in GW.

I don’t think that’d be balanced for Eles, but the OOC swap would be really nice.

Afaik, you Can swap weapons out of combat. Like any other profession.

I think what he’s asking for is some kind of template you can predefine, so you don’t need to bag-swap.

IE: Staff is F5, D/D is F6, S/F is F7, etc….

+1. I want this feature too, but for all professions please.
As a guardian in WvW, whenever I need to travel fast, I will use staff, but my usual combat weapon is hammer, and for roaming is sword/focus. The other weapon is always GS for me.
It is sluggish when you need to open the panel to find and swap your weapons,with all the weapon loots mixing up with your own weapons as well.

As example given by Dand, simple swap keys with preset weapon setup menu would suffice:
F5 – GS+Hammer
F6 – GS+Staff
F7 – GS+S/F

In this way, we can switch them on the fly before engaging in different situations.
Please consider, thank you.
