    The Quick Swapping skill is misleading with the name of the skill as they do not function as the name of the skill implies. This only serves to cause confusion when players are evaluating skills. While this skills tool tip description is accurate, the point remains that the name of this skill is misleading and badly named.

    Quick Swapping implies that the player will be able to swap decks faster. What the skill actually does is reduce the focus cost when swapping decks. The skill could actually be renamed to be more accurate to reflect what it actually does like: Focused Swapping. Or something similar.

    Thank you for your time.

    Maybe Easy Swapping instead of Quick Swapping (or something like that)?

    I agree with @Anpu in that the current name "Quick Swapping" is just plain misleading.
    Swapping "speed" in NOT what the skill is about, so the "Quick" is simply incorrect.
    How about Swapping Focus Reduction ?

    How about "deck swapping". Not as misleading and more simple.

    Sorry Adam, but "deck swapping" says nothing about what it actually does.

    I thought the issue was the name was misleading. The tool tip tells what it does. Simple is usually better for skill names in my opinion. A new player would see swapping focus reduction and I don't really think they would know what they would be swapping. They would have to read the tool tip.

    I was thinking with deck swapping, it would lead a new player to think, "oh I can have more than one deck, what does this skill do?"

    How about "Efficiently changing my load out at a lower cost", that sounds like a perfect innate skill name :D

    efficient swapping or smart swapping(though smart would allude to auto swapping a living mob deck to undead farming deck or healer/tank/training/gathering deck:/ )

    Does NOT swap your decks .....
    But your earnest comment DOES, however, say volumes about the OP and the naming of that particular skill.... @Akandriel

    I don't have Quick Swaping but it's currently high on my prioroity list to get.

    Example, relatively new chr named "Auto Swing"...

    Currently I swap decks the old fashion way:

    • Get out of war mode (z)
    • Bring up the decks section (y)
    • Hit the equip deck I want (equip)
    • Hit the escape button on my compuer (Esc)
    • Hit the war button (z)
    :rolleyes: and after all that I'm ready to go again :) That's not very fast sounding is it o_O?
    Those are my favorites.
