We need mid-combat gear swapping.

You pro-inventory expansion guys are disgusting.
You have nearly a thousand
THOUSAND
1,000
3 ZEROS
of inventory space (bag, retainers, armoire, key items, clusters/crystals/shards, and armory chest)

come on

I honestly doubt you get close to thousand.
Also, since we are talking about carrying armor around everything except your armor and inventory slot instantly does not matter.
