Guild Wars 2

I know that the Ele lacks weapon switching in combat due to having the attunement system and how that would give them access to too many skills. It would really be nice if we could have out of combat switching for them though, since they do switch quite frequently. For example, when I run the Uncatagorized fractal, I use a staff for the jumping portions vs the harpies but dagger + Warhorn for the rest, so I can heal the team. Same thing when doing Teqatl; I run staff vs Teq, and then Dagger + Focus when guarding the batteries. It would save me a lot of time in the equipment menu if I could just swap them between fights. Even better, and give this to all classes, would be the ability to set up multiple configurations that you could switch between easily.

Only if this is disabled for PvP. 40 weapon skills is plenty already, they don’t need to be running around with 80 in PvP.

Insert that gif… you know you want it.

PvP locks at game start anyway, so it doesnt matter. (unless you mean in custom arena’s)

I specifically specified for out of combat. This is just to simplify things between encounters. Other classes don’t have to futz in the menu so much because switching between 2 is generally all you need. The Ele just gets annoying because it’s so manual.

+1, good idea.

I don’t out of combat weapon swap on ele any more than on any other class

ability to swap between saved builds in general would be great though

No it absolutely does matter as switching between your weapon sets is allowed in PvP. OP was asking for a second weapon set to facilitate out of combat weapon switching. The only other way to switch is to go through the hero panel which is something he pointed out as being a waste of time (it is), which implies he was asking for a second weapon set. If Eles have a second weapon set then they would be allowed to switch weapons in PvP, which is why I specified this should only be implemented if it is blocked in PvP

Please please please give us ooc weapon swap. Its annoying to be stuck in a mid/front line weapon set when trying to take down sieges on walls in wvw, vice versa.
