Weapon swapping, what if...
Just give us weapon swapping.
Balance it.
Just give us weapon swapping.
Balance it.
Except that giving us weapon swapping would make us horribly absurdly unbalanced.
If they gave us weapon swap, they’d have to nerf all of our skills into the ground to make it even remotely balanced. Cue the increased crying about “I gotta use 40 skills to accomplish what a thief/warrior does in 3” all over again….

Basically you’d designate what weapon is equipped on the character sheet based on attunement. That would offer real flexibility.
possibly, but even that might be overpowered. Personally, i’d still run D/D for fire/air/earth and just replace the water skills with those of staff so I could drop water fields and evasive arcana roll into them for massive heals. Even that alone, would be ridiculously overpowered.
Can we please stop asking for a weapon swap (in combat at least). It’s a dead horse, stop beating it!

We already have out of combat weapon swapping. All we need is an out of combat weapon slot and hotkey. It’s entirely a QoL issue.
In combat weapon swapping on the other hand will not and should not happen.

Imo with the current crazy long cast times, crazy low aoe potential, even the 4x elements, do not offset the downside of not having weapon switch. Maybe dagger/staff ele weapon switch would be op. But Sceptor/focus + staff I don’t see overpowered in any way. Cast times/skill activation delays (dragon tooth, earth quake), keep the elee slow no matter how fast you change weapons.
That’s just my take on it. I wanted to love Ele but hate it. Then again almost noone of the classes have my love at the moment because most of them are not fun (balanced) in pve.
No excuse anymore for not giving ‘hide mounts’-option
No thanks to unidentified weapons.
I’d be happy if they would give us the character sheet slots and the hotkey and just have it greyed out during combat so we can hotswap.
Agreed it is a QoL issue and if they just did this it would not alter our combat status at all.

Put a 60 sec cool down on the weapons swap so we can’t abuse it.

Wouldn’t shared cooldowns work?
If I use air scepter #3 and change to staff, my air staff #3 would have 10sec cd?
But yeah, it would probably still be a lot too op. We could use all the best spells with each weapon.
