Armory assistant cannot be summoned in dungeons, trials, arenas and Cyrodiil.

In other words, useless.

@LashanW
Not true. I summon in Dungeons all the time, even mid run. You just need to get out of combat. In Trials, I use dressing room addon if I am going as far to swap gear between pulls. In arenas and Cryo, I usually walk in prepared, so dont really need it there.

I think this things highest and best use is to be able to queue properly as a support role for a fast queue, but if your group is okay with it, swap to full damage at a click of a button. Because healing often requires different skill morphs (especially on a NB), it works really well.

I think it is also very useful if you want to have your alts be able to do writs at the click of a button.

Lastly, if nothing else, you can keep one slot blank, and use it as a free reset for skills attributes and CP. Dont really need assistant for that, but its nice. I use the assistant far more than I thought I would.

Oh interesting.. Very interesting mate. Didn't think of this.
Could have my alts switch between combat ready role, and maxed out writ machine at the click of a button.

No longer need to gather a gazilion skill points on my alts for combat AND crafted skills.

Each character can have their core combat role and when not being played be crafter with

- Max hirelings
- Max decon materials
- Max crafting skills for better writ rewards and master writs

And if you need to play a dungeon on an alt you switch to combat and then right back again to a Gold machine.

That is powerful mate.. why didnt i Think of that xD

@Grandchamp1989

Yeah, it works really well. Basically any level 50 toon is going to have enough to max out pretty much everything you need for writs and hirelings. Decon passives and maxing out Alchemy Enchanting might take a bit more. I dont think you would need to bother with other crafting like tempers and such on cloth, blacksmith, etc, because most likely if you are going to make gear, you go to your crafter. That said, being able to make a glyph or some potions without swapping toons is very handy.

I also recommend that when you do it, dont spend anything else. I start with a completely blank character. I spend only skill points in crafting passives (and one point in the assault passive that gives mount speed), and only CP to make sure I have the relevant speed buffs (Riding, Steeds Blessing, Celertity, etc). That way, it is still very cheap if I want to use that as a way to reset a character with skills, attributes, etc. If just doing writs or crafting, its not like you need to build for combat. Just make sure you slot a Ring of the Hunt on the build.

TLDR: The idea is to be at the speed cap, able to do all basic crafting needs, and to be able use for a cheap (if not quite free) character reset.
