No. Weapon swapping is perfectly good and fairly well balanced.
There’s traits that reduce this (arcane and the warrior primairy) and runes (rune of the warrior -1 second WS cooldown), it’s for balance so I can’t switch to a weapon immobilize, switch to another Kd, and switch back and spike in 1/4 a second.
Make a build that works and learn it, but this is not a valid complaint.
As to blacklight, I do agree that weapon swap sigils should work on eles in a way for attunment and engis for bundles, but eles might need a slight reduction on it since they can attune every 2-4 seconds with high arcane and weapon swap to stuff like their fiery greatsword or frostbow. Engis bundle cooldown was fairly long IIRC from my playing him, so it shouldn’t be an issue.

So just to clarify you think that if a warrior can trait and gear to weapon swap every 4 sec and ele every 10 sec on each attunement that it is fine now? There are other classes and the point of having multiple skills on weapon sets is to effectively use both weapon skills. As I said in the original post as long as the game has cooldowns on each specific skill then there is no reason to add another cooldown just to go back to a weapon set. This is not an build issue it reaaly just makes no sense to me. If I have a 40 sec cd on an ability whether i switch right back or not should have no effect. The engineers bundles have no cooldown so in essence i can use the bomb kit simply for the smoke bomb or glue then go back to my rifle or another kit.

When I play my ele I dont ever switch to fire or lightning whenever they are up just to take advantage of the proc damage. Like you said they are weak and I would be hurting myself doing it this way. If the max cd reduction you can get is 9-10 sec between swap why would you want to limit yourself from using different skills just so a weak damage proc, that really makes very little difference, does not need to be on your mind.
