Guild Wars 2

My suggestion is this: Ele’s could be given the weapon swap button like other professions, BUT only allowed to change weps outside of combat like normal. The main reason for this is so that you can easily swap to, say, S/D setup for running around and covering ground, but then back to staff when you get into combat. I’m thinking for pvp here mainly. At the moment you can still achieve this but it means going into the inventory and then equipping scepter, then dagger, making sure you do it in the correct order or it will slow you down even more having to re-equip it. I just think this tiny addition would be a great little quality of life addition for all those hard-working ele’s out there. Going into the inventory is just not ideal.

Also, to save on in-combat confusion for new players, you could make it so the swap button only appears outside of combat. It is totally invisible when fighting. What do you think?

Well , just toss one also for the engs. Same mechanic they give eles.

Yep this is all I want.

I would like this for elementalists. I would say I’d like it for engineers, but I actually rely pretty heavily on my swap weapon button when playing my engineer for quickly dropping any kit to return to my rifle. I guess it would be a change I could get used to if other engineers really wanted it, though.

YES!
I understand completely that we can’t weapon swap during battle and honestly, with all the skills from the different attunements that I have to keep track of I wouldn’t want to be able to xD. But I definitely think we should be able to swap easily out of battle. It’s messy to have to keep track of all my different weapons in a separate inventory bag and when I switch from a staff to two daggers and then back they never all go into my invisible bag which can get dangerous at vendors >.>

Yes, it would help immensely to be able to do this out of combat. No need for during. Having to go through your bags looking for your stuff all the time to swap out is a pain.

…. why would you use a staff for pvp? are you one of those nubbins who plays bunker ele? if so… don’t…. abusing broken mechanics doesn’t make u a good player it makes u bad…. play a build that’s at least not broken….. basically… anything except bunker… and if you complain about bunker ele’s being underpowered it’s prolly cuz ur bad and if you’re using a staff for anything besides bunker in pvp… i’ve found your problem…

While I somewhat agree… I have run into staff eles in tournaments with groups built around knowing how to use the combo fields.

But more importantly, I’ve never seen a bunker ele roll with a staff o: Usually they’re scepter/focus, from my experiences anyways. Then again, I haven’t done SPvP reguarly in a while.
