Save and Load Presets Like GW1

Here is a thought that struck me while talking to my guild:
The ability to SAVE and LOAD preset specs, skills, armors, and weapons.

To run down my thoughts:

I have a specific skill set for soloing, for PvE/Metas, and Running. I have to make the necessary changes on my skill bar to do so. Why not just click on my preset?

I mentioned a spec to a guildie and they needed to change a whole set of armor and weapons for that spec, why not just save the previous set with a preset?

Don’t know if this is a dumb idea or a very useful one. Thoughts? Suggestions?

Hi, (Asuran) Mesmer Fanatic here. It appears that Mesmers have the short end of the stick because it’s a very precise combination of things to make it easy and interesting.

My go-to weapon combo is Scepter and Pistol. Scepter will constantly spam clones to distract non-Legendaries at a consistent rate. Whenever the foe brings out a big CC, just hit block (Skill 2) and another clone appears. The pistol creates a burst of energy phantasmal and a CC bullet. Either go Signet for Condition damage or Wells for a little more DPS and boom! An all around mesmer.

I admit, it is tough to be a mesmer sometimes. We aren’t the best at DPS nor healing, but I was able to survive very well while soloing everything in Tyria, (except Metas). It just takes a little more movement (circling) or a few more button mashes. It’s not that Mesmers have the short end of the stick, we just sample everything, thus a utilitarian.
