Gear swapping in combat?

So today I went to Ebonfrost Scree with a guildmmate, we we're having fun until we met this permastealth TR using bilethorn and barkshield. After a bit of dodging and hitting, we brought him down only to be surprised that he CAME BACK TO LIFE with soulforged effects on his body and then barkshield again. So then we both died to the TR and we were confused how he came back to life. We assumed he swapped his gear during <10% of his life. If we were right then I think the Devs should make it so you can't swap gear during combat because this is like having 2 armor enhancements at once.

    I see no problem in dual spec players: as in, have two sets of armor and weapon w/ enchantments to use according to the need of your situation IF you can afford it. BUT, like you said, doing so IN COMBAT is pretty lame and should not be allowed.

    At least make it a rule so that he has to hide under a rock for xCombat seconds before switching equipment.

    Read before you comment, mate. He was referring to a TR and they can do exactly what you described. Maybe it has something to do with the abuse of perma-stealth, which soon will get a fix anyway.

    Not really complaining about permma-stealth here (even though it is problematic). I was complaining about swapping gear just for the soulforged effect THEN back switching to barkshield. this renders the TR close to invulnerable given the permastealth build.

    in my opinion, swapping armor to get the benefit of multiple armor enchants is not WAI. if artifacts in cooldown cannot be swapped, armor with socketed enchants in cooldown shouldn't be swappable either.

    I am missing something here?..if he can do it...can't you? Of course you can...and its your CHOICE that you aren't and you are experiencing the consequences of that choice.

    Bro who quit used to do that lol.

    Imagine a CW with 41-42K HP with Greater Negation + Soulforged and Lightning enchantment. Pretty dam hard to kill.

    Soulforged should go back to its old effects in PVP (The module 1 SoulForged) in my opinion, and keep the free revive in PVE.

    Armor swapping is a WAAC maneuver. In real life, and this is not real life, just a game with no relation to real life - swapping a whole set of cloth armor might take 10 minutes, Leather armor 15 minutes, Chain armor 20-25 minutes, and plate armor 30 minutes, with a helper, to 45 minutes alone. In the game it takes less than 2 seconds to swap one piece.

    This is a newer problem and will take months to sort out.

    For those who say - "You can switch from your armor too." don't seem to realize that most players have the 'alleged CHOICE' but really don't.

    Artifact in cd cannot be swapped nor unequipped. I used to carry 2 or more sets with me, and i do swap armor in battle. If my soulforged is down i will wear barkshield for a while, then after i die i swap back to soulforged again. I swapped my armor last time after i died, but now no, i sold them for a profit and use my unique build without these enchants.

    actually gear swapping has been around for a long time. but perhaps it isn't used very often and this may be why the limitation doesn't yet exist.

    I just think it's not fair for people who don't have 2 sets of gear with different enchantments like that.

    I do this with my PF hr I have 3 armors, sf, bark, and elven (for cws and hr)
    These armor enchants can make me Hold Node 2 for 2-3 healings of water
    when my hp is down > water > pots
    > when ap is up > meditate (i didn't pvp w/ my hr for a couple of days now not sure if the armor set bug is still there)
    when I'm lock down > switch to soulforge and spam marauder range
    by this time my water and pot is up again
    rinse and repeat
    abusive pms are common.
    if its not WAI then please fix, till then ;)
