Guild Wars 2

When will Elementalist get weapon swap? At 10:20 in POI video, Roy says they gave Revenant weapon swap because they didn’t feel it was right to be locked into either range or melee… Well, that is exactly what Elementalist deal with … Where is the weapon swap for them after 3 years of dealing with this issue? (Do not say Engineer—they have ranged / melee through kits) ALSO, do NOT mention Conjures as they have charges / limits of uses. If you want Conjures to be the answer, make Conjures like kits.

Revenant really needed the weapon swap. Elementalists are just fine without it. A revenant weapon is 5 abilities – an elementalist weapon is 20. Giving revenant 5 more abilities is not the same as giving elementalist 20 more abilities…

Another vacuum. Ok give us resource management like revenant do that our cantrips are unusable if we use to many skills.

Make all 20 skills on all weapon sets actually good and we have a deal.

Tbh I would be against weapon swap in combat as well, but out of combat swap should have been live since day 1.

Okay lets be a little realistic here.

Engineers get access up to ability weapon bars (Weapon, Tool Bar, Med Kit, 3 Kits, and Elite Kit). Even if you consider you’re removing utilities to get those additional bars, the fact remains there’s a ridiculous amount of access to abilities going on.

Elementalists get access to four weapon bars via attunements. In addition they also get up to 4 Conjured Weapons that are limited weapon swaps as well, but regardless always have the four different attunement bars.

Revenants got one weapon bar and was the only class in the game that couldn’t change it’s main weapon skills in combat. It can change it’s utilities, and is the only class that can do that, but it’s also the only class that is tied to a set of utilities and really unable to change them out to mix-match different utilities (at this time) meaning that’s kinda it’s own cost as well. Imagine if you had to choose Conjures and get 4 Conjures or Arcane and get all Arcane. This left the Revenant feeling pretty weak and in certain setups without any ranged options what so ever. The weapon fixes all of that and gives them access to a “normal” amount of weapon bars that other classes have.

Elementalists is already the strongest dps class in the game, the one with the highest mobility and the only one that can spam 37 skills in a row without waiting for any cd.

And you want to equip 55 weaponskills? Lol. never happy.
Most of the classes have 10 weaponskills (including Revenant). And don’t give me “not all of them are useful”, because that can be applied to any set of weaponskills (Revenant has many objectively useless weaponskills and utility skills that you can’t even change, because Revenant is the only class that can’t change utility skills)

LOL Highest dps? Highest mobility?? 37 skills no CD? Please go play an elementalist before posting such dribble… A mesmer, engi, guard, warrior, thief, ranger, necro can all do more damage. All but the Necro can run away too… Also, their is cast times, and cooldowns on attunements as well… If you do not play the class, do not post.
