Guild Wars 2

Way to access weapon/weapon setup other than opening character panel.

Side action bar or feature (guild wars1 had it) that allowed you to swap in different weapons other than opening up your character screen to double-click the weapon you want to swap in. Yes we do have weapon-swap between 2 sets (during combat), but what happens when you want to swap out while running to the next boss because say you need ranged instead of your melee/melee setup. Or you’re adventuring and need your running weapon setup, want to swap the second you get out of combat because you realize the situation calls for different skills, etc.

like.. the tilde (~) button? I am not sure if that is a default binding or not, but when I press it it swaps weapons for me.

Or are you asking for more than two weapon sets?

You can swap between 2 setups during combat, outside of combat it has to be manually done.

Example: you’re playing guardian and you want to use staff for swiftness, but you primarily want to swap between Hammer/Greatsword for combat… you have to equip/re-equip weapons from character menu. If there was a side menu bar (side action bar, etc.) where you could place items in them to click to equip/use would be MUCH more beneficial. You could have different items in the slots to use on the fly.
