Guild Wars 2

I have an idea about weapon swap for eles. The first weapon set is responsible for fire and water, and the second weapon set is responsible for air and earth. We still press F1 to 4 for element swap. For example, if we have staff as the first weapon set and D/D as the second weapon set, then we will have staff’s fire and water, D/D’s air and earth. If we put both weapon sets as D/D, then we can play D/D like before. This way Eles will have more options (less restricted by range) without being “op”.

Do you think this idea is viable? Thanks.

(Another idea is to have 4 weapon sets, each weapon set for one elemental. But I am afraid this is too good to be true).

It’s an interesting idea, but the balancing act would be quite hard to do.
I mean, stakitten Fire and Water and D/D’s Earth and Air = 2 easy blast finishers for stakitten water combo, instead of staff’s precast earth blast finisher.

Edit: I would like to see something done though. Currently you’re stuck with what you take (unless bringing conjures). So staff your stuck ranged aoe, if someone gets close your not fighting at optimum and if you are d/d you are full melee, so someone can range you from cliff and gg, run or die.
