Guild Wars 2

Hi there,

Just hit lvl 7 with my Elementalist and saw the (previously disfunct) swapping button and second weapon set disappear from action bar and hero profile.
Somebody advised me in mapchat that this is intended due to the many different attunements, which does make sense.

However, this isn’t very obvious, because prior to lvl 7, the button and slots in the profile are there. It should be pointed out, at least via tooltip, that these things are not available to Elementalists.

Or even better, could you leave everything in place but disable weapon swapping for Elementalists only when they are in combat? This makes it easier to switch back and forth while practicing weapon skills and/or PvE’ing, without giving them the alleged advantage in a fight.
It’s a bit annoying to manually equip weapon sets, especially when switching from two-handed to dual-wielding as one of the weapons will end up in an arbitrary bag slot.

Thank you

Elementalist and engineers don’t get weapon swapping because they’ve a sort of swapping with elements and kits respectively. However, it should rightfully be noted that the buttons shouldn’t be in the profile if they aren’t supposed to be available at all, and that should indeed be a bug.

Also this is not a suggestions forum.

It was a bug report.
The reasoning behind the lack of swapping for the two classes in question is clear and does make sense. The suggestion to limit this to in-combat swapping was on a side note.
Thanks anyway.

Here is the suggestion

This is definitely a bug because it cuts out personal equipment space for weapons and cripples gameplay options for those prefessions.
