Guild Wars 2

I know elementalists cannot swap weapons for fairness. However, we, elementalists, switch weapon sets outside combat very often for swiftness, cosmetic, and etc..

Can Anet allows elementalists to swap weapon sets (with one key) just like other professions, but only restricted to non-combat situations? Once we are in combat, we no longer can swap weapon. This is still fair and the only advantage we get is we no longer need to bring up the inventory/hero tab to switch weapon outside combat.

Sounds reasonable.

This has been suggested since the very early betas and not happened yet, so I’m guessing it’s extremely low on their priority list.

so ele go out of combat and with 2 sets stack 15-17 mights and rush back to battle

I mean, they kind of still can, but they need to keep their inventory open and equip manually.

We do it anyways so theres no difference. All it really would be is QOL thing for something we do already.

It is a quality of life improvement. The mechanics are all there – the system detects if you are in combat or not and they can manipulate the swap cooldown – one would think it would be an easy win/win.

And not just for Eles – Engies too – although they don’t swap weapons as often as your typical Ele does.

Id rather they made it so you could bind weapons to offhand slots i.e. If i want a certain dagger to only go into the offhand slot i just have to double click it. It would make might stack easier, especially since usually i don’t swap one weapon to another, i swap between 5 weapons in total (staff, scepter, focus, and two daggers).

But yeah it would be nice if they would at least let us have a weapon set on swap so we could at least start our might stacking rotation faster, or rotate faster between weapons while running

So long as my alternate off-hands (focus, warhorn, etc) can be stored in a similar manner on other characters.

Why stop at one weapon swap, and only ele.

If its out of combat why not have secondary and even a tertiary weapon swap for all classes so that all weapon skills are available out of combat.

Dont see the problem with that either, really. However, as it is, every other class can access a second weapon set OOC without opening their inventory, so long as they have it equipped and dont wish to change an equipped weapon. Eles, And engineers have to open their inventorys every time they wish to change a weapon OOC, so having an OOC weapon swap for them would make them equal to the other classes OOC, But IC they lose the ability to swap weapons. They get no advantages from this, just a small QOL of thing that other classes can get already.

I would however love to see 3 or even 4 weapon sets by a thing. In GW1 we had alot, but i know why they reduced here in GW2.
