    Great min maxing for TP and WS dmg. I'm so not excited.

    Ah, so it's not a bug that we can swap gear during battle, but it's also not a bug if it has a net disadvantageous effect on combat. I guess we'll see how it works in-game soon enough.

    I'd rather keep twitchy gear swapping out of the game (none of this 10 pieces of gear for every spell and ability swapped in for 0.5 seconds every time you use those abilities crap)
    This. A thousand times this.

    The battle system may not have been designed to offer gearswapping as an advantage, but you know what some players are like and doing things that 'weren't designed to happen' (Exploits, bugs etc).

    There are some that will use this regardless of how the system was designed. Let's just make it so you can't change while in battle and everything's gravy D:. Even if they set it to 'no gearswapping unless passive' I would be happy... ><

    Edit: a 3 second stun/penalty effect would be cool too e_e haha if someone tried to swap while they had enmity or if the party was in battle. It'd allow for people to re-equip items if there are bosses that unequip things, but it'd stop people from abusing it to min/max stuff on a whim like it was in XI

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    Anything that can be used to give an advantage, no matter how tiny it may seem, will be used as such. Just because the mechanic isn't being designed to provide such a thing, if it can be achieved it will be abused. There are countless examples in other games, including XI and XIV 1.0, in which such things have been known to happen and are encourage where there has been a failure to resolve the issue.

    It's always worth considering the effect of the potential to exploit a given mechanic. There are cases where being able to change or re-equip gear mid battle is useful/necessary, but there should be some balance to it somewhere along the way. As said in the above post, a penalty of some kind is a potential solution, similar to how swapping gear in Ballista (FFXI) would do.

    I enjoy having to think about what kind of gear set is best utilised for a given situation as opposed to "I'll use Set A for this, and swap to Set B for this." I had 6 years of gear swaps in XI, I would like to see less of it being used as a strategy in ARR and I'm sure there are plenty others who feel the same.

    Should just make it if you swap gear sets in the middle of battle it resets your TP to 0.

    Agreed. Gear swaps in battle was one of the things from XI that I was glad they got rid of.

    I don't mind if they change it or leave it, but I welcome gear swapping and really enjoyed it in XI. I like'd having all kinds of different situation gear.

    Happens anyway.......

    Got tripled meld? cya
    Got 450 int? cya
    Got full AF? cya
    Got Relic? cya......
    You want to be Pugilist? cya...

    Having an requirement for something already exists and is already demanded and to be expected with MUCH of the content. Gearset is just an addition to something that already exists.

    But the solution is quite simple, don't play with those people....
