This shouldn’t be too hard to implement and would be a good gem store item.

The idea is some tab or menu in the character window where you can store equipment and specialization options with one button.

i.e. I get my build the way I want it and save and name it as one preset, do another build and save that as another preset. Then I can just click on “auramancer” or “cele staff” and avoid having to redo all my specs and changing all my equipment each time. To get around potential abuse there could be a short cooldown on switching and/or if the player just left combat.

Maybe give 2 standard with more preset slots available for gems.

Dunno about the “shouldn’t be too hard to implement” bit. I’m only familiar with two of these loadout systems. One was coded in from the beginning AFAIK, and it’s OK but not very reliable.

In the other, it was introduced as a feature later on, and pretty much trashed the entire game; even years later it was responsible for completely scrambling some folks’ skills and gear every time that they zoned… the general consensus being that they really should just never have introduced that feature, and should ditch it if possible.

So I’m always a bit wary of these suggestions, and tend more towards ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.’

While innovation is born of laziness there comes a point where sloth has no place in the world. You click the armor piece and it shows you the whole 2 other options you have. You only have to set 9 skills at all on your skill tab and have a total of 6 lines to choose from to do so.

I believe in you! You can do this!

No comment. -_-

Ummm, no. A UI redesign that allows people to swap builds at a press of a button isn’t a good gem store item.

Be careful what you ask for
ANet may give it to you.

I hope you realize people have been asking for this since GW2 came out because GW1 had this and people want it back

I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask but are there any plans to allow us to save a couple presets for your specializations? Guild Wars 1 had a neat system for this and it would be nice to have something similar in 2.
