ANET purposely did not give the engineer a weaponswap option because they didn’t want people quickly switching through multiple skill banks right before combat depending on each specific combat scenario.

Anet didn’t give engineers weapon swaps because they gave them kits instead, up to three equipped at a time, each of which is a weapon swap. Eles have four weapon swaps. Not to mention engineers and eles can utilize these in or out of combat.

Giving every class a hotkey for out-of-combat weapon swaps doesn’t imbalance anything. It’s a quality of life improvement, nothing more.

TOTALLY AGREE :
anet already has a time delay for swapping while in combat
“go in combat and try to swap a weapon” bet you cant!
but simple clicking a button to swap both weapon sets to another alt weapon set while outta combat makes life so much easier. less clicks the better
this topic was a complete suggestion and others have hit the very idea i had
“while running to the next fighting area click new weapons sets”
this has no need of changing traits or advantage or disadvantage"
if im traited for melee and i click to change to alt weapon sets say ranged actually know im offering my self up to a disadvantage already.
the intent was to say in wvw some fights you cant go to the gates u hve to stand back
range away. so when your done 1 area then all rush to another and heads up “heavly guarded gate” that means ranged then as im running to that gate i can click from melee main sets to ranged sets. no open click click close
no retraiting no combat advantages nor disadvantages= no real combat change
just a game play easy cheesy play….

some character classes have a weapon swap option, some dont. For example, an engineer does not have a weapon swap…so you have to manually equip out of your bag your 2nd or 3rd set of weapons. A warrior gets a weapon swap feature at level 7 which u can bind to a button. That is just the way they made the game…i feel adding an additional weapon set swap to classes that already have a swap would lead to some classes being OP. Player skills/builds completely rely on what weapons you have equiped…adding 1 or 2 more weapon swaps means 2 more bars of skills which completely will change the mechanics of how classes use their skills.

100% not true

Unfortunately, the words used have led to confusion.

What the OP really wants is a convenient way to change to alternative, non-equipped weapons while out of combat. When I play my mesmer I often change to different sets for different situations and it can be a hassle to do.

While we are at it, make a convenient way to store builds that can be changed to when visiting the respeccer.

DING… why ? open bag, manually equip, – just click a button.. easy cheesy.
hint —not in combat.
actually thats a great idea as well on the builds
build1
build2 etc nice

stop the flaming tag
dont blame me cause you cant play your class right

i am refering to a alt set of weapons not the current alt weapons already in game
basically a optional 2nd set of weps
currently alt
sword/pistol click button bow or duel pistols
dagger/pistol – dagger/pistol
kinda like main armor set hit button change to entire different set
arena already has a safety switch “cant switch while in combat”

how about making the possibilites of a swap weapons options?
kinda crazy you approach a fortress that requires a ranged wep
then u gotta open bag select weapon manually then close bag then wvw it.
now this option can be wvw/pvp/pve how bout that?
id love to be able to put a weapon in a slot as a alt wep and assign a button to hit to swap it.
game mech already make it not possible to swap during active combat. totally understandable. so nothing would be unfair with this option
