Guild Wars 2

Have a long cooldown on weaponswap?

The most agile class in the game, with both weapon-sets using same resource pool for their abilities.

I feel it would improve skillcap further and how well thieves fare in sPvP if the weaponswap cooldown was reduced. And various weaponsets could be used together
better mid-combat.

I agree to an extent, especially due to Initiative.

But “weapon specialist” is a niche that Warriors have occupied. It’s just one of those class-defining differences. 10 seconds swap-time is base-line, so it’s not like we’re being handed the short end of a stick.

I’m not sure if it would increase the skill-cap though. Short weapon-swap times make a class very forgiving. Switching weapons should be a brief commitment. When a Warrior switches to Longbow for example it’s barely enough time to capitalize on Whirling Axe before he switches back again.
