…without going into their inventory and manually clicking things?

This clearly isn’t a balance issue, as it takes about the same amount of time for an experienced player to with an organized inventory to swap weps. We’re talking the difference between 1 and 2 seconds here. Just make the darn “swap weapon” thing disappear when in combat, and reappear after combat.

QoL buff that I would welcome.

Because we are just too skilled for the peon way of weapon switched and anet’s only choice was to try and nerf us with manual weapon switching. They failed.

because we have 4 elements, 20 different skill…?

We just don’t want players to grind in Guild Wars 2. No one enjoys that.

An out of combat weapon swap would be nice but i don’t expect it.

Just set up a macro, or use secondary skill bindings to quickly open inventory and swap weapons/traits the second you get out of combat.

Personally, I think they should add it- it levels the playing field, so that all eles can quickly switch weapon sets out of combat, instead of just players who are more hardcore and can react quickly to swap sets in a short time window.

<sarcasm on>

We pay a swapping tax due to our incredibly high dmg and mobility on staff.

I see no issue with an out of combat weapon swap just to make life less annoying. I don’t ever see it happening though. Doesn’t appear as though they have extra programming resources to throw at little things like this. There are more important things to work on, like the 8 bit world.
