Guild Wars 2

I may be missing something here, but is it not possible to use the same one hand weapon in both weapon sets?

On my Mesmer, I’m using dual swords, I’d like my other set to be sword/pistol. I can’t seem to use either of my dual swords in the second set. Do I have to buy a 3rd or am I missing something?

Leave the first spot of your 2nd weapon switch “blank” (so only equip your pistol in your 2nd slot) and you’ll use your primary mainhand for both sets.

Ah great, thanks.

I think you used to be able to just slot an off-hand on your second set and the MH would carry over to the second set, but CDs would still be maintained from first set.

They may have changed it at some point so you need to equip a MH and OH in each set. I’m not positive.

Just an off-hand for the second set will do.

You do not get a new set of cooldowns if the 2nd set has the same weapon (even if it is actually a different one).
