Weapon switch =/= Armour switch

We have a weapon switch to adjust to a current situation quickly but in my opinion it should be combined wit armour and jewellery switch as well.

Right now I am being pushed to play my melee build more as a caster and I am even using light armour. As a second build I have tanking skills and I would like to be able to have a heavy armour gear switched over with the switch of weapons and skills. It would make it easier for me to prepare for different type of encounters. Right now if i need to switch my armour i have to stop, open inventory and do it piece by piece what with the GUI type we have is quite annoying.

    Sure this is a video game an all but switching weapons quickly makes sense but switching armor should not be allowed on the fly especially while in combat ie; Weapon switching... You should have to stop and take a second to go switch out armor.. Also I'm pretty sure there is an add on that simplifies this, you still have to be out of combat but I believe it makes the task much easier...

    Wykkid's Framework and Wykkid's Outfitter's mod can be set up to do this.
    The one stipulation is that armor cannot be swapped in combat (... I haven't actually tested this, can anyone confirm that the UI blocks armor swapping in combat?)

    In the last week, i've leveled resto staves to 48 or so, and I have yet to use a single ability from it (Just swap prior to turning in a quest, then swap back) You can set up a single macro to swap both ability bars, weapons, and armor. I'm slowly making a guide on how to accomplish this in a streamlined fashion. It's actually quite simple, but finding the options required an attention span.

    I'll be posting it later tonight / tomorrow at some point.

    Addons can switch out both gear and skills while out of combat (like you can right now):

    They can also select quick slot items (but not put them there or use them for you):

    cool thanks

    I know Zeni should focus on other things right now but i hope one day they will add these function to the game for those who dislikes using any addons (like my mate) but would like to have more options.

    They will mostly work on stuff that can work both on Console and PC. Stuff that needs more buttons to fire the action are not among them.

    And besides, the Addon API is integral part of the game. Not using it is like not using heavy attacks.

    Didn't you see the last video they posted? The tank has the ability to morph from sorcerer into nightblade, so it will definitely be added soon!

    Just kidding of course, but I did find it a funny editing mistake they made in that video.

    @drackonir‌ It would be very nice if they added that option, but it would require the removal of the need of duplicates. As it is set up now, if you want both bars for the same weapon you will need 2 of those weapons instead of being able to use the same one. If they would not remove that then many would need duplicates of all their armor items. So part of your idea should be to remove the need for a second weapon if you use the same weapon type on both bars. Something that should have been in the game already tbh.
