[dev1016] Not stopping to draw a weapon and go into "active mode"

[Steggun]

This has been something many people including myself have been wanting changed since closed beta (maybe even alpha but I wasn't in that test). In my opinion not only should the delay be removed but so should active and passive mode.

In my opinion not only should the delay be removed but so should active and passive mode.

Even though it's a few superfluous button pushes, I do like the idea of being able to draw and sheathe weapons at will.

With no active and passive mode, what do you suggest instead? Everyone constantly running around with weapons drawn? That would look silly. ^_^

Active and passive modes are fine as long as it doesn't take so damn long to ready our weapons.

I would suggest keeping the ability to draw and sheathe your weapon (with no delay). I would also suggest a system where any non combative spells or abilities could be used without drawing your weapon, and any combative spells or abilities could be used but will automatically draw your weapon.

I guess in reality the active/passive mode is already fairly close to this, all they would have to do is remove the delay between drawing your weapon, and allow abilities to be used when your weapon is sheathed.
