sword 3 doesn't rupt by swapping anymore??

[Miles Smiles.8951]

Unrelenting Assault (sword 3) doesn't seem to be interruptable by weapon swap anymore, which was the only way to stow it mid hitting animation. Asked a friend to test it, same thing. Staff 5 can still be interrupted mid cast by weapon swap though.

Do you mean mid UA? For staff 5 or something?

Stowing on UA pre cast worked for me last night still I think.

Now you swap the weapons but UA still goes off full channel, tho you can still abort staff 5 this way (it cancels the channel and stops the movement part).

curious, maybe revs will use this to increase its damage by swapping to 2hand weapon midcast? idk

I was testing this yesterday and I was able to Proc Hdyromancy and call of assassin during UA by Invocation and Weapon Swap.Though every time I only saw UA hit 4 times instead of 5

An interesting try hard idea... But, I think in most of the situations that I'm using UA for damage, I don't want to end my burst there by then being stuck on staff for 10 seconds. Could just be me, but I get more use out of UA as a gap closer or mid pressure i-frame than as an execute.
