I think most people who PvP alot will agree with me on a topic...weapon sets. By this, I mean the weapon set bubbles on which you can put different combinations of weapons and switch them at ease instead of opening your bags.

As for many people who PvP, the amount of weapon set bubbles you have is not nearly enough. In the current game, there is only 4. Most people who are serious about PvP don't hold back when gearing for effectiveness.

I am a hammer warrior and the amount of weapon set combos I have is difficult to use apart from the 4 bubbles. I have a:

Ebon Hammer Of Fortitude
Vampiric Hammer of Fortitude
Sundering Hammer of Fortitude
Furious Spear / -5/20% Shield

As you can see, that's 4 already which takes all the bubbles. For me to be effective, I assembled more shields for survival. In addition, I have:

Shield (20% Crippling reduction/+30)
Shield (20% Blindness reduction/+30)
Shield (10 Armor vs Fire/+30)
Shield (10 Armor vs Lightning/+30)
Shield (10 Armor vs Slashing/+30)
Shield (10 Armor vs Blunt/+30)

As you can see, that's 6 shields I have to be able to switch very quickly to counter against spikes.

As of the current times, the only way I get to switch shields is by opening my bags and manually doing so. By doing this, it goes against my survival since the spike may be over before I switch shields.

What I suggest is that ArenaNet adds at least another 4 weapon set slots so it's easier to survive in PvP where armor against damage works very well.

/agree ten times over
I hate having my inventory open in gvgs.

You still need a shield for Cold, Earth, and Piercing damage if you want to be complete. And one to reduce Weakness as well. May as well add 10 more weapon slots so you can have something for every situation. Then again, that probably won't be enough. Monks will want +45 while enchanted, +20% enchantments, etc., etc., etc. mods as well as the normal ones they have already.

Learn to deal with the equipment you have, or realize you aren't going to be able to handle all opponents the same.

They will probably have server problems with this, the 11/21 DEV Update said they would have server problems with making another storage tab for Storybooks, so they would probably have problems with this.

/agree with magmared
to want to switch between sets for every enemy you encounter?, ridiculous
Guild Wars is a "game"
game- An activity providing entertainment or amusement.

not an overbearing challenge where you must automatically try to be the best and epicly fail in the process

sorry but /not signed for the fact there simply wont be enough

Div · Nov 23, 2008, 09:15 AM // 09:15

/notsigned because I'm a terrible, clueless player and because I'm too lazy to switch between sets, I don't want better players to gain an advantage over me by having more weapon sets.

Oh, and also because there will never be enough weapon sets and people will always cry for more, which is the same for storage, but I'm signing the increase storage idea because I'm a hypocrite like that.

When I need to change to something I don't have in a Quick Weapon slot, I just hit O (J by default) and double ckick the things I want to equip.

Takes more time, but since it's literally impossible to have Quick Weapon slots for every single combination I could possibly use, it's more logical.

Surprising. This was suggested recently in another thread and got a ton of positive responses. More sets if always better and I would always use as many as possible.

One other improvement I'd really like to see in this area is giving us the option to open a window with just one bag instead of either All Bags or 1 Bag+whole character equipment preview. Right now I have to play with all the bags open most of the time to do all the swapping quickly.

like i said in the other thread very similar to this one. add maybe 2 more. no need for more. you dont have that many different types of damage in one match. no sense in covering your screen with a ton of weps you dont use in one match. after the first minute or two you should be able to recognize the damage types in the match, if you cant, then having a few extra slots for more wep sets wont do you much good...

/unsiged for this
/signed for x amount more weapons slots and 5 seconds to actually change the weapon
