Guild Wars 2

So, this is random, but it’s something I’ve always wanted so I figured I’d throw the idea out there.

Warriors are supposed to be the master of weapons, right? So my idea was allow Warriors the ability to swap their dual-wielded weapons instantly. For example, I like running a Sword main-hand for the movement, looks, etc. But I’m not a big fan of the burst skill. What I would propose, is, that say you are running a Sword/Axe Warrior. You leap into battle, slam a few autoattacks down, then wham you activate your hand-switch and now you’re an Axe/Sword Warrior, and you can use the Axe’s awesome burst skill to really put on the hurt.

This would be a separate ability from weapon swapping, essentially allowing the Warrior access to 3 different sets. I love the idea of weapon-swapping and I do it frequently as a Warrior but I always find myself wanting another set to swap to, as I feel the necessity of having a ranged weapon.

I’m not sure how it would affect balance or off-hands like shield (maybe we could have a shield main-hand?? Using shield to bash people and throw it Captain America style?) or maybe it would only affect certain weapon sets but I just thought it was a cool idea.

Thanks for letting my idea-vomit that out.

EDIT: Just as an aside, I know you can do this now…I just thought the addition of a separate swap ability would add another wrinkle to a relatively simple class.

I like your idea sah!
