#Changing Hero items should take a turn

Cycling your best gear between heroes is a very tedious yet effective strategy. If the gear changes only came into effect at the end of turn, it would still be useful but players would no longer be able to:

  • Use their best gear in multiple locations at once
  • Strip their heroes of all their gear if they've run into a bad situation
  • Use mounts for transport and two-handed weapons in battle in the same turn
  • Use a single mount to transport multiple heroes
#

Another thing: Using the instant gear change together with respeccing skills a player can instantly change the entire identity of their hero to hard-counter another human opponent in the last moments before battle.

Perhaps skills should only be able to be respecced in your own cities.

This will be even more important with the upcoming patch because unused items can generate mana/gold. So now in addition to gear switching, the optimal thing would be to unequip everyone not at risk of fighting at the end of turn.
