Just a small suggestion, nothing much, but i'd really like more weapon slots. I currently have
1.Sword/Shield
2.40/40
3.40/20/20
4.High energy set

It would be nice if there were more slots available so I could have afew more armor vs-+10 shields readily available to me & negative set...I think you get my point.

Maybe this is not so usefull for PvE as weapon swapping is not as important but for PvP e.g. Monks carry several shields with them, so would be alot quicker to have them hotlinked, rather than opening the invent and equiping them.

mmm tbh Guild wars is SUPPOSED to be about skill and less about equipment. But it Would help with other things too...I dunno. I just kinda like it the way it is with 4 slots.

Personally I think I'd start forgetting which was my lightning shield and which was my piercing shield, but I'm also pretty retarded sometimes. I don't really think it's needed but I guess it would come in handy, so....

Would be nice, although I personally dont think itll make that big a difference. If i need to swap to a different shield, for the +vs type, then i load up my defence set and double click on that shield.

If you only have one set where you are in the shield, then its not big deal, if you have more then one set where u have shield then its a bigger deal, but not such a great one.

Overall however, I think you should have unlimited weapon slots, but its not that big a deal, i rarely use more then 4.

But it takes skill to know when to swap to a high energy set, when to swap to your +10AL vs. lightning shield, etc.

I would use about 20-25 different sets if it was possible

I play with my inventory open alot because of that, and I would *really* love some improvement there. I suggested before a possibility of having opened windows with selected bags instead of whole inventory at once, and more sets could help even more in PvP (for PvE I'd like a quick access to various consumables)

I can't think of even 1 good reason against this idea, so it gets a big

I don't know, as much as people would like that, aside from PvE, I think it'd be pretty gay in PvP.
"Oh, what's this? Warrior running up to me? Let me equip set number 8 which has +10 armor vs slashing (if there is such a thing lol)."
Yeah... I can't see this boding well in PvP. But it'll be alright in PvE because people wouldn't care about staying alive.

But with four sets. Unless if you can just open up your item menu and switch with godly speed.

Like I said, that is what a lot of people do already (especially at the start of say... a GvG, once you figure out what the other team is running, you have time in a ~20 miniute long battle to rearrange weapon sets). Having more weapon sets would just make it easier.

"The Riddle of Steel" inscription. Rather popular among PvPers because in GvG, slashing is the more common damage that's actually dishing out real damage.

In PvP changing weapons would in many occasion save your character from dying. this is something you actually can't know until you do it in a PvP battle.

How can you NOT swap sets in PvE?
I would actively use as many as 7 different sets on my Pre-Searing girl if it was only possible! 4 is not enough so I'm doing a lot of inventory swapping.
...and I'm not even getting into the possibilities in post...
...all that while the main use of this update would be obviously PvP

Well, if you don't use the other three sets, then adding some won't bother you either way, right? Especially considering you can opt to close empty weapon set slots. I know I swop plenty on my PvE monkie.

How about they make the weapon slots work as storage slots.
you can put your weapons in the slots and they are removed from your inventory.
Countless times I encounter the message if I really want to sell this weapon because after switching it puts my weapon in the 1st slot instead of the last bag it was in.

Perhaps so, but it certainly is more adorable than a regular best friend, plus it made me smile!

I'd change my comment to "quoted for truth and for great justice!", but as I can't currently swap to my slashing at godly speed, I'll just kite away from this one in the meanwhile.

id say +2-4 slots. more would be a bit excessive. i run a shield/sword, 40/40, 40/20-20%, and high set. a low set would be nice and one more shield at hand wouldnt hurt. maybe a mid set too. might get messy on the screen though. perhaps maybe a scroll bar on the existing 4 instead? so when you swap to your shield set, a scroll would show up with choices you named? prolly would be more hastle than good, just a suggestion.
