Changing combat school while in combat

[svino]

Simply; let us change combat stance while we are in combat.

Previously it made a lot of sense with the card game, but now I don't see the point of not being able to change stance while fighting. It would make sense if there was a big penalty to doing so, such as losing some opening/costing IP/ or causing a long cooldown.

Most of the time, i'm just foraging and killing ants and bears, and one of my combat schools is great for that. But if I get attacked while i'm foraging, I will have no chance to fight back unless the opponent is wearing less than 150 total armor. If I stay in my pvp deck all the time, I have to save up 6 IP just to kill ants. This means that if I want to stay safe while foraging, I need to change deck 2 times, back and fourth, every time I find an animal that I want to kill. And if I'm so unlucky as to get attacked while fighting animals, then I will have to run from anyone with good armour, even if they happen to have 1/2 of my combat ability.

Agreed.

Should be like changing weapon in combat is currently.

Completely agreed, always using my PvP deck to hunt animals even though I desperately want to use uppercut+sideswipe, exactly because of this (actually mostly because I don't want to forget to switch back to PvP deck after done hunting)

yes I would like this also.

I have a deck I use for killing bats and ants and small things. but I definatly wouldn't want to be caught in combat with another player with that deck and sometimes I forget to change back.

or make us able to put a certain deck come automaticaly when aggroed by a player hehe

Totally agree of course, super annoying when you forget to switch back your deck.....also always on combat matter....better UI for the official client pls, maybe switching the hotbar just for moves while in combat, or idk but pls remove them from the middle of the screen.

Yes, this is an issue. But maybe just add an option to put combat decks on hotbar.

Switching schools in combat has a long-going consequence of having multiple counter-decks for PvP, which may or may not be desirable. I don't mind constantly switching back and forth to PvP deck while hunting animals if it only takes 1 press of a hotkey. And pretty sure that factions' custom clients already have that.
