Guild Wars 2

This suggestion is to implement a function similar to how Weapon Sets worked in GW1.
You put a weapon into a slot (say F5) and when you press it, you switch the weapons in that slot to replace your current wielded item.
All items remain in your inventory during this proces.
This function would behave in the same manner as equiping it manually would do now.

pressing H(or whatever key your hero window is set to) is too hard now?

Is it so terrible to suggest a quality of life improvement? Changing traits manually also isn’t “too hard” but templates would be very convenient as well.

Yes.
Try doing that several times per dungeon to optimize your run. Especially between 2-handed and 2 single-handed weapons.
It gets tiresome very quickly.
Also there are lazy players and they won’t even change sets if they have to do more than click a button and thus they are not as productive as they could be.

did they remove the 2nd weapon set where you could assign a 2nd weapon set to?

Aside from warrior a proper rotation already requires 2 weaponsets.

It’s to switch out a weapon set, not to swap weapons.
No, it’s not too hard. Yes, it’s annoying.

I think he (or she) wants to use more than 2 weapon sets. While 2 is fine in combat, sometimes even I would like to switch to a 3rd or even a 4th set out-of-combat instead of opening my bag, finding it and double-clicking to equip it. This is particularly annoying to do on my guardian whenever the situation requires that I equip a scepter. Sure, it only saves a few seconds but I’m annoyed in those few seconds. This feature would alleviate that and I’m willing to pay money for it, just like I did for the gemstore gathering tools.

Exactly

I don’t think it’d be a good idea to put these kind of features behind a gemstore purchase tough.

This creates another layer of cheese in WvW with people backing off out of combat, switching weapons, then jumping back in with a better matchup.

Yeah, it can kinda be done now, but if it becomes a hotkey it’ll become a part of everyone’s combat and that’s lame. We shouldn’t be fighting the UI.

WHICH IS WHY STEALTH SHOULD NOT DROP YOUR TARGET, ARENANET.

As you said, it’s already easily done and right now is just an annoyance. It’s already part of everyones combat.
