So, first off i love that you can switch between two sets of weapons, it adds alot of versatility

But, it is hardly fitting in every scenario, sometimes you might want to just have one weaponset while still being able to toggle between two sets of abilities.. Let me give you an example :

Imagine you're a fulltime tank, so you sport your heavy armor gear and you only want your sword&board weaponsetup, but you still want access to your 2x5 abilities (say, if you want one bar for singletarget tanking and your secondary bar for AoE-tanking).

Now, would you have to grind in order to get two sets of sword/shield in order to switch weapons so you can get your secondary ability-slot, or is it possible to just switch slot but remain with your only set of weapon/shield?

You can always use the shield + 1h as your other set too.
As in you will change the set but it's just copy of the other set you have, just with other skills on the action bar.

You dont have to.

You have around 1000 points to spend at lvl 50 without the pvp or veteran points , in the end youll propably max every skill for instance as tank heavy armor , defence line , 1h shield - whatever - points into stamina - hp etv . You can always buff your hp stamina instead but a second wepon will be most usefull in pvp .

Yeah, but thats exactly what i was hoping to avoid.. I want to have 2x5 abilities with 1 set of weapons (because imagine endgame raiding or whatever, getting the top-tier weapons isnt going to be a walk in the park and doing it TWICE just because of weird limitations is just silly).

tough luck, 2nd set of skills means, 2nd weapon
