SWITCH EQUIPEPMENT AND BP

[barren kindle]

Currently it's bugged on Mush, so you're still able to click stick for prev. But once they 'fix' that, I'm sure it'll be very annoying.

Sacrificing a whole swap, when you can only have 3 (w battlepass), isn't a good mechanic.

I totally agree on this. QOL of a BP on siege is totally worse in this situation having to wait for like 3 or 4 seconds to get your knux and shield backa fter using prevention. That 3 or 4 seconds can cost you your life.

Its for all BP/players. So not an disadvantage. Before, many abused external switch tooling to get an advantage over others

Personally I see a clear disadvantage, since no other JOB requires changing weapons or equipment for the exclusive use of a Skill, if you see in the past many abused these external change systems, we cannot blame today's people for that, Furthermore, these resources were used by all types of players without class limitations; I think it is a clear disadvantage that in order to use one of the fundamental BP skills within the siege arena you are forced to make a change of equipment, which forces you to remain for a period of 3 - 5 seconds with equipment that It puts you at a disadvantage compared to others, since with the Stick, you lose your defense and your ability to attack, not to mention that in the case of players who play for free they are forced to use a change sheet ONLY to carry a stick and equip it to use 1 skill, keeping the other sheet with a team either ONLY attack, ONLY defense or hybrid, which completely loses the foundation of this system, leaving aside the main purpose which would be to compete fairly with everyone the players, which any class that is not a BP will be able to decide between defense team and attack team by changing with just 1 click, while you limit the BP even leaving it unprotected for 5 seconds if you decide to use prevention, I think that the solution would be to be able to unlock the change system only for weapons items or allow the BP to launch prevention with the knux without having to use a stick.

jester aswell, ringmaster for quick rebuffs too.

Also, as every BP now switches with that tool, you can use it as your advantage, even as BP

For mage classes this is even a bigger issue. We swap wands / staves constantly and don’t necessarily want to swap an entire set. Our situations can be very niche and we are by far the most vulnerable class. While obviously it’s possible to setup same set and just a weapon/+shield swap for example… most of us like to have a PvE swap too. In fact for some of us we’d like to even have 2 set swaps for PvE or more. This limit on gear swaps is super awkward to begin with.
