ZOS.

Some of us like to play a range of roles across pve and pvp, please look at how you can implement custom builds as a quality of life feature.

I waste so much time swapping from healer to dps to group to solo...etc...builds. This includes skillbars, sets...

    There are addons for that if you are on PC.

    Consoles I fear will never be as PC is these regards.
    Hence I severely dislike these platforms.

    Yes, this would be greatly appreciated on console. Even if it was just for having like 3-5 pre-set skill bars to quickly swap.

    Of course ideally having the ability to map equipment also onto these 'custom loadout' bars would be just amazing.

    Played since beta, and then on console at release, until the game became unplayable on console.

    Like gearsets in FFXIV. You save a gearset and it saves all your currently equipped gear, and your hotbars. Click a different gearset and it changes all your gear and bars to that layout.

    Exactly. And can even have a build different means. After all healing a trial is different than healing vDSA where the healer is 90% dps.

    The add one also permit saving gear. Quick swaps for anything. Quality of life on PC is good. On console, then sorry.

    I was very impressed by the add on Alpha Gear - this allows you to save many different presets with gear and active skills for different situations.

    The idea is not bad, but it would probably cost thousands of crowns and in the end would not work. Look at weapon supposedly swap. And that is just one already equipped weapon for another. If ZOS introduced build swap, their bugzilla would implode and Hunt Valley would be sucked into resultant black hole.

    The OP already said he's a console user. So these add ons we're talking about won't apply. Here's another nasty thing about swapping builds. If your really going to do this and let's say your a DK. What about champion points, and your basic stat points? To seriously go from offense to defense, you'd most likely want to change into more health than stam points for instance. Or you'd want to change CP's around to be more defensive.

    Bottom line is OP, your almost better off just making an alt. I hate to say that, because I dread leveling alts in this game. 1-50 is easy. Some may say they can fully level a toon within a couple days. But after leveling 2 myself to VR16, I would need some serious boredom to try another.

    Id only look for alts for proper end game where o needed to maxmin.

    I run the same base char in trials, pvp and other stuff. Optimised towards dps and gearskill switching to all bar trials is easy enough when you have a modest level of skill, cp and gearing.
