Guild Wars 2

So I use sword/shield and scepter/sword on my Mesmer and you seemingly need two swords for both weapon combinations, so curiosity hit me.

Is there a way to switch my mainhand sword on my sword/shield into the offhand on my scepter/sword from quick-switching? Thereby using one ascended sword for two weapon combinations?
Or will I always have to have two swords?

You can use a single weapon for both weapon swaps if you have it in the same hand. For example, you could use Sword / Pistol and Sword / Torch with a single sword, just by equipping the sword in one set and leaving your main hand slot empty in the other.

If you’re putting the weapon in the other hand, though, there’s no way to use one weapon. You’ll need two in those cases.

Ahh I see, that’s a shame. Thanks for the answer!
