Guild Wars 2

I currently have dual daggers in my main weapon set and a single pistol in my alternate weapon set. When I change to my alternate it defaults my dagger in my offhand. I want to use the repeater ability that is supposed to be available when you don’t have an off-hand weapon.

Why is my Main weapon set contributing to my alternate weapon set?

I’m not sure if that is intended but it has been like that for as far as i remember. Its nice that when I want a second set with only the offhand (or mainhand) having a different weapon i don’t need 2 identical weapon to be placed in each set.

eg
set1 scepter/focus, set2 (empty)/dagger
effectively becomes
set1 scepter/focus, set2 scepter/dagger

therefore I don’t need farm 2 scepters.

It does appear to be a problem when you intentionally want the dualwielding skill of a thief with no offhand, looks like an oversight to me
