Guild Wars 2

Alright, so I’m playing a condi ranger with sword/torch – axe/dagger.

But I want to be able to utilize the ranger’s greatsword 3 skill while out of combat to move around more quickly. So I bought a generic greatsword for a few copper for that purpose.
However, anytime I equip the greatsword I’m unequipping two weapons and as a result while one weapon replaces the greatsword in my inventory the other has to find an unused spot in my inventory well down below.
So I decided to open up an extra slot right next to the greatsword at the top of my inventory so that I’d be able to constantly switch back and fourth between my greatsword and my other set of two weapons while not in combat. (as you can see in the second image.)

However, my problem is that whenever I pick up anything it automatically takes up that first available slot in my inventory causing me to have to sluggishly manually move it down to a lower part of my inventory before switching weapons or cause having one of my two equipped weapons moved down to the new first available slot when I do switch to my two-hander. (see the first image)

My question is, is there a trick, or a particular storage bag that would allow me to keep that open inventory spot specifically for when I switch my two weapons out for one, or am I basically boned here?

Use your ’hero" panel to switch weapons.

I’m not sure but could you use the invisible packs?

There’s a bag that prioritises Exotics http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/20_Slot_Fractal_Exotic_Equipment_Box (and another that prioritises rares)

so you just need your swaps to be exotics, and they’ll go there instead with little risk of anything taking the swap-spot.

Unfortunately to get one you’ll need to run a bunch of fractals.

That might do it. Thanks for the suggestion!
I think I can handle moving down the odd exotic drop. XD
