[ Dev's ] Gear Swaps Can I have It?

[Duelle]

gw2 also has a static job system, so changing weapon isnt that big a deal. It also doesnt use TP.

This. Massive difference given that resources are not so directly tied to weapons. Warriors in WoW could switch from a Two-hander to Sword and Board and retain their resource (rage). Rogues used to keep an offhand weapon with anesthetic poison (which basically removes any berserk effects when used on an enemy) that they would swap in at certain times and retained their combo points. That won't work here because everything you are capable of is tied to your weapon.

even with that though, making that type of system means there will be no minuses to gears like gear that slows you down etc.

That's not necessarily a bad thing. You begin to tread on that situational gear territory when you add conditions like that (or even worse, like the job-specific lv50 rings in XI) and negatives. I'm sure the item design guys can come up with something that works and is a real upgrade without having to rely on negatives and such. At least, I'd hope so.

Because Super Cosplay War Ultra would be a poor MMO.

I like you.
