Weapon swap needs to work while in CC/remove the GCD.

Weapon swap is still very unreliable and clunky when it should be the most instant and reliable action in the game considering we only have 6 slots per bar to begin with. I find that 90% of the time a weapon swap fails is because you were CCd at the same exact moment you hit your weapon swap button. You break free and begin to smash the abilities that you thought were on your hotbar, only to find out a split second later that the swap failed, and often times a split second is all it takes.
Weapon swap failure is almost certainly my number one cause of death, and I'm sure it is for many others. I sincerely do not understand why weapon swaps cannot be client side, or why they must eat up a global cooldown. It just feels terrible, and I've been playing for a long time. At the very least, expose a weapon swap function to the LUA API so that addon developers can improve it's reliability.

Weapon swap is still my biggest gripe in the game, it's still very clunky as op says. Would be nice to have it as smooth and fast as in games like GW2.2 -
The intentional delay that was added in 1.6 was terrible, I don't know why they didn't change it back. Lag causing double swaps was annoying, weapon swap not working reliably is significantly worse.You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

I completely agree, it wasnt until 1.6 I noticed this. This makes me smash keyboards in pvp, everything works fine but in the middle of combat it fails on me and is my main cause of death. I took a moment to sneak aside a battle and spam weapon swap, the amount of delays was god awful. Yet when nothings going on it switches just fine...1300+ CP | Lørd Wrath | - Sorcerer - Palatine - Grand Master Crafter - 30000 Achievement Points

✭I'd already be happy with being able to weapon swap while falling.
For the rest, don't have much issues with how weapon swaps work currently. It improved quite a lot since beta. I do sometimes miss the swap when using shield charge then swapping to my other bar to do the follow up attack.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Ah, I didn't realize there was a GCD on weapon swap... this explains why I've had similar issues in the middle of a fight and kept pushing the button to swap with nothing happening. A GCD on weapon swapping is just dense IMO... that is what weapon swapping is for, being able to swap to the best weapon/skill for the current situation.CP: 2105 ** ESO+ ** ~~ ***** Strictly a solo PvE quester *****
