Guild Wars 2

There is no cool down for weapon swapping while out of combat.

However, if you swapped weapon right before the combat ends, you get the cool down running even after you leave combat. Shouldn’t be the cool down be removed after you leave combat? I find it pretty annoying to have to wait to switch back to your default opening weapon in such situation.

they should just implement the ability to draw/undraw the weapon

Many profesions get temp bonuses for swapping weapons. It’d be completly unfair if you can spam these bonuses, hence the cd on weapon swap.

I am not aware of that. If it can be a serious issue in PvP, maybe we should remove it only in PvE. I was talking about purely PvE.

You mean sheathe? Well there is, just go options → controls then look for sheathe then assign it to a button(s).

So give those bonuses an internal cooldown. Engineers have no CD on kit swap yet have 5s of swiftness + vigor when they switch kits. It has an internal cooldown of 5 and no one has exploded yet because of it.
