The problem isn't with the weapon showing, it's with being unable to equip armour because of the weapon. Let's say I'm on WHM and I want to change into the santa outfit. I make a gear set. Later, I might be on SCH and I want to change to the same outfit. If I use the gear set I made earlier, it would simply change me to WHM. In order for me to change using gear sets, I would have to create a gear set for every single class I have, otherwise it changes my class or I have to manually re-equip my weapon.

I'm hoping SE is clever enough to add in 2.2 vanity gear sets that are separate from current sets, because the current system is annoying and inefficient.
