Guild Wars 2

I think this would be a decent QoL function, and save me having to hunt for days for my gear.
Could we have a function where all our Ascended gear goes into a tab like the wardrobe and we can equip it from there.

So once I have unlocked Heavy Zerker gear or Heavy Clerics I can just equip those stats onto my gear on my heavy character as a drop down menu. It would be like legendary weapons but I could only select the ones I have unlocked through getting that ascended gear.

It would also be useful if when this happens my gear looks the same, so I am transmuting the slot (Ascended gear outfit slot) anything that goes into this slot ascended would look like that.

The only reason I am reluctant to gather more and more ascended gear is because the stat increase isn’t huge and the swapping round means gear can sometimes get lost in the process.

Keep ascended gear on a char you play fractals with and the rest will go fine with exotics.

Ascended already has a QoL feature which is account bound. Even legendary equipement can’t be used like wardrobe skin and you need to move legy’s between characters.

TBH I would add Legendaries to the wardrobe list as well.
I agree you can bounce them around characters. It’s just seems a little clunky to do so, especially if you play more than one profession in multiple rolls.

This is an incentive to make more ascended copies if you want. And ascended craft is an important gold sink.

but surely people would do that if they had more of a reason to?

So I still need to get Zerker stats for Light, Heavy and Medium.
I would collect more sets if I could get them as an unlock.
I would probably have at least got 5 or 6 different stat combos ascended if it was worthwhile, but as you said Exotic works fine. Therefore I won’t be gold sinking into ascended.
You could even make it more of a gold sink by saying each time you change you have to use a thermocatalytic. Means more people would buy them and more gold would be sunk. As that’s the only true gold sink from Ascended gear.

It’s not that I don’t like your idea. Simply, I dont think they’ll implement this. If we see any gear general changes that will be legendary armors I think

I like this idea

I think there needs to be a place for easy access to gear that is separate from the inventory. I don’t mind having to keep it in my inventory, since it only makes sense for it to take up space if I’m carrying it around, but trying to swap out weapons, for instance, from the inventory is annoying, specifically when swapping a 2h in for two 1h, and having the off-hand go to the first empty slot in my inventory.
