Rune's system for PVE/WvW
OMFG STOP PUSHING THE ZERKER META YOU ELITIST ELITIST!!!11
Silliness aside, there isn’t any other way at the moment other than to have 2 sets of gear for the 2 builds.
It has been proposed on these forums that all legendary equipment should have the option to learn all upgrades you put into it so you can then switch them like the stats, so this would fix your problem if you could get legendary armor. However, it has only been a suggestion and I don’t remember seeing any official response to it.
Your suggestion also seems good, they have that system right now for PvP, but it would kinda ruin the value for runes I think.
In the meantime, keep cof1-ing daily and you’ll have the extra set(s) to take up space in your inventory… But hey, you can buy more bag slots! Hahaha… haha… ha…
