What? Just hit ~ or whatever your weapon switch button is.

It’s true that hitting 3 (assuming that’s your bind for med kit) doesn’t unequip it the way hitting a utility kit button twice does. But you just have to hit the weapon swap button instead.

med kit goes into the 6th slot so ineed to hit 6, in pvp hitting 6 again unequips the medkit, hitting 6 in pve does not unequip it at all, it is very annoying bug, even though u can use the \ for it i feel like using the skill should also unequip it as all other weapon kits behave that way.

It’s a long known bug that Med Kit in PvE does not swap out properly like most kits. In PvE.

That said, I actually prefer this bug in conjunction with Speedy Kits. When traveling it’s just mindless to spam Med Kit over and over, whereas in sPvP I have to think about GCDs or what kits I have. 1st world problems.

I always use ~ to swap so in either situation it doesn’t matter.

Wait… So then if you have Kit Refinement, could you just keep rapidly producing the blast over and over by spamming Med Kit?

Yes, but the damage done by the blast is negligible.

No! Don’t change this. This makes speedy kits SO much easier to use. Just hit 6 every 5 seconds for perma-swiftness. Otherwise, you have to hit 6, wait, ~ every 5 seconds.

No… kit refinement has a cool down of something like 10 or 15 seconds during which switching to any kit does not produce the effect.

No it doesn’t. Kit refinement itself has no cool down. Only the abilities gained from refinement have varying cool downs, and they are not the same. Med kit had 0 cool down. So yes, he is exactly right. You can spa the AoE explosion from med kit over and over as fast as you can hit the kit swap.

Poor craftsman blame their tools. Poor players blame their Engineer.

Does basically zero damage, though. So I’m not sure why you’d ever want to.
