Guild Wars 2

Hey all. Quick question. This is prolly easy to test but I’m at work and looking for a fast answer. If you equip two of the same weapon on separate swaps, as in Sword/Pistol & Sword/Focus does the other sword abilities run on a separate cool down timer? Or are they connected? So, in other words, if you were running Staff/Staff could you cast Chaos Storm then swap to the second staff and cast Chaos Storm again immediately even though the first staff cool down was blown? Or if all cool downs were blown on the other weapon would the others be refreshed on the swap? Never see people running this so I’m assuming the cool downs are connected regardless of the actual weapon set in play.

They are connected, so there’s not much benefit in running two of the same (sadly).

You can get away with it using MH sword and the -40% on iLeap and -20% on blurred frenzy – the cooldowns are low enough that you can use S/x, S/x.

The only class you can make a serious build around the same weapon set is thief, and traits like gaining initiative on weapon swap, or even might stacking sigils.

Roger that. Thanks!
