Guild Wars 2

That’s a pretty cool idea actually.

Adamantium.3682:

I don’t see it ever happening, and that’s fine by me. I don’t see a future in which we have no cooldown kits and weapon swap, so that choice is pretty easy for me to make.

This echo’s my sentiment fairly well. I mentioned what we would lose, and saw some arguments asking why we have to lose anything. The thing is, I am not suggesting what we should or shouldn’t lose. I am suggesting experience has demonstrated the dev team will inevitably decide we will lose something, like it or not.

Another vote for weapon swap added on Engi please. Or utility swap like someone mentioned.

Once Rev got weapon swap, and these elites came out, the game changed. I see NO reason not to have weapon swap, as good as hammer is, now we HAVE to take a kit for range, and thats not right. I DONT MIND it, but not right

Ponyan.3471:

It was something I considered.
Initially I thought it would be something Seeing as if they want us to use a full set of elite spec skills, we would need to sacrifice using kits.
An engineer with weapon swap and no kits would have just as many skills as revenant has after they got weapon swapping.
My idea is that they should give engineer weapons swap, but it gets disabled if they have any kits equipped in the utility slot.

That could be a way…but it wouldn’t work well. Because our utilities and weapons would still be balanced over kits.
Essentially, all the issues are about that – the class is dependant on something optional, rather than on something that we have at any time. And forcing it upon the class.
