Crazy idea
Giving the ability for a warrior to equip 3 weapons, and swap them in the same way he does with two weapons, is something that’s actually been discussed before HoT, when theorycrafting what the Berserker trait line could be. 1
Allowing 3 weapons to be freely swapped would probably be too hard to balance. After all, you’d get access to 3 weapons, i.e. a significant increase in the range of available skills, which is super strong, even if the underlying build loses some consistency. Now, gating the swap behind a 30s CD means you would only change it while being out of combat, in which case you’d probably be better off sticking to a single build idea and optimizing it, without changing weapons.
Arms might get a chance soon. It’s not in the PvE meta anymore, and is not much used in other game modes, thus it’s now completely free to balance (and it sure needs it, seeing how weak it currently is).
1It was fun, then we warriors gained a F2 changing the initial burst of the main hand weapon, and ending up with a worthless class for PvP for the following 6 months… until they lazily buffed us recently “à la Cleansing Ire”, by changing Adrenal Health.
Lol nah
