Before the armory, you just had to double clic. 

Now, you need about 15 to 20 clicks to swap between these two weapons (equip, drag 2 sigils and 2 infusions and stat selection, and if you play some weirdo stats you need to TYPE it..) and i can't even imagine if you have 2 legy sigils. 

If you still play ascended, it's also double clic only. 

Before armory, you would have never used a template for this, you needed more clicks to swap template than changing gear. 

It's a nerf of convinience, and bad design, in my opinion. 

Before this i had to change out full armor/accessory/weapon/skill/trait sets. Now i no longer have to.

Two button pushes, all it takes. Major buff, woop woop.

And it's great for you !

But for those with legendary weapons, well, before they had to push two buttons to swap weapon with the same build, all it took woop woop. 

But now they have to push 20 buttons or buy 200g for each weapon with a limitation of 6 per character, Poo poo.

I have 16 legendary weapons, that i use on nearly every build. I have to push 2 buttons anytime i swap equipment/tabs. One to change equipment, and one to change skills. "Woop, woop."

 

If 6 tabs is an issue ill agree anet should increase it. (also cut the price down to 100 gems a tab.)

This is a slightly disingenuous comparison. How easy was it to have two builds with different Legendary setups before? How easy is it now?

I used to swap weapons for free with a double clic. 

Are you gonna argue about this too ?

They are probably going to say: “How easy was it to share a Legendary account-wide?” Maybe this isn’t something you care about, but it’s a benefit of the new system.

Its less an argument, and more pointing out that the system as is, right now, is more than likely a massive boon to a majority of players AND working as intended, per anets patch notes.

Can it be improved? Maybe, i dont think it needs to be. It works great for players who dont try and get around 2 weapons per build and you can still do so, just not with legendaries.

However, whos to say they intended you to be able to get around having 2 weapons per build?

We know they cant disable equipping weapons from an inventory, so its less "intended" and more "just allowed".

Also i could make that argument. Ive equipped all 5 of my characters(and their 2 or 3 builds) with weapons, finally, thanks to this change. Before not all of my characters even had ascended weapons, and i only used 2 main characters. The rest got leftover weapons/armor, to costly to make while i was making legendary weapons. Cant wait to make my legendary light armor so i can equip all them with armor finally too, after that its runes/backpack and Accessories.

Yeah it's pretty kitten atrociously designed. I'd rather have the legendary weapon sit in my inventory instead of the upgrades, as it stands I have gained nothing from the new feature except great frustration.

It's better that the stats reset and upgrades pop out, otherwise you run the risk of equipping a weapon with the wrong stats for your build/encounter. We should just have a higher template allowance to make room for the different builds/loadouts we'd like.
