I don't know if this is the right place, but...

I really think Anet should give us more than 4 weapon sets.

I need quite a few, staff, daggers, 3 different shields (+10 piercing, lightning, fire), Zealous scythe, etc.

Anyone else think we should have like 8+ weapon sets that we can use?

Clicking different shields when I need them is getting old. I really wish I could just press a button to switch it, like we can with the 4 we can currently have.

Are F5-12 used for anything?

It's called prepping for the area you will be confronting. There is no reason...NO reason...anyone should need 8+ weapon sets accessible, other than laziness. Christ, a warrior should only need three for the bow he uses for pulling. For PvP, there are a few you need to cover most situations. For PvE...hell, you know what you are facing.

F5 through F9 are used for inventory shortcuts. F10 is wiki, F11 options, and F12 is logout.

Do want. I've had plenty of times monking where I would have liked to switch my shields on command for different damage types, but rummaging through my inventory was such a pain.

You obviously don't PvP.

Anyways, I really don't see why not.

bhavv · May 11, 2009, 03:12 AM // 03:12

I want -

+10 AR shield for each elemental type (4 slots).

20% reduced blind shield / +30 energy weapon set here (attacker / caster).

Enchant / Stance shield depending on build.

Anti hex shield (-3 dmg, +60 health, helps against degen).

Longbow / 40/40 caster set.

= 8 weapon slots please.

I dont have all those weapons, but will be able to thanks to equipment bags now.

PvP noob commenting on PvP = fail

as a monk, I'd need a staff, 40/40 set, a high set, a low set, a spear with cripple mod, lightning mod, fire mod, cold mod, slashing mod, piercing mod just as bare minimum standard.

Do not comment on PvP again, ever...

Right, because you're going to:

Put on your slashing shield as the warrior lands his Power Attack and
immediately switch to your lightning shield as the Mind Shock lands and
immediately switch to your piercing shield as the Keen Arrow lands and
immediately switch to your slashing shield as the Protector's Strike lands and
immediately switch to your piercing shield as the Hunter's and Savage Shot lands

There are few cases where you would need more than four sets. One for each damage type shield is not the case. Shields should be swapped in the very beginning of the match, where you determine what is the main source of the opponents' damage. That shield (for the most part) stays to be that damage type. I've only come across a handful of bars out of the many I have played that would benefit from more than one set. The tombs Lingering Curse necromancer with Consume Corpse + snares is probably one of the few, since you would benefit from:

Shield Set
40/40 Curse
Curse High Set
40/40 Earth
20/40 Death Staff for Consume Corpse

I'm not against this; in fact, it would be pretty nice, but it has very limited applications. You guys are overemphasizing these needs.

Gforce · May 11, 2009, 05:38 AM // 05:38

I agree with Lutz on this, although I would probably use some more sets if there were more slots to use.

Stuff like +5e and -5e shieldset, low health set etc come to mind.

Just add them and give them no default key, so if we don't want to bind them or don't want them at all we can leave them alone.

I only use 2 weapon sets which will probably result in some of you calling me a noob, but using 5 or more sets would be really distracting. That's a whole nother variable to think about and monitor while in battle, unless it was just for random convenience, not actual switching 24/7.

seems like a good idea. especially with the implementation of the new weapon bas
