Guild Wars 2

Sometimes my weapon-swap key does nothing. I press it to swap weapons during a fight, but my weapons do not swap. This pretty much kills the fights for me. On one occasion while playing my Necromancer, I hit Swap Weapons to switch from Scepter/Dagger to my Staff so I could drop a Regeneration Mark (Staff #2) because some of my team’s health was getting low and my Blood Well was on cooldown. When the Swap button failed to make the swap, I ended up dropping Scepter 2 instead of Staff 2, and 2 members of the party died because of the failure.

After this happened to me several times, I developed the habit of looking down at my ability bar weapon-swap indicator before pressing the Swap key to make sure that it wasn’t on cooldown. On all of the failure occasions where I actually looked first, swapping was NOT on cooldown. Also, having to look down at my swap indicator to verify cooldown status takes my focus off of the fight, which is a bad thing in and of itself.

Therefore, it seems that the recurring failure of the weapon swap control is a bug. Please look at this and fix it.

Thanks-

I’ve only had this happen one time (and it was fixed when died) but it should definitely be looked into if possible, because even if it doesn’t happen that often its pretty severe when it does.
