Title: Swapping deck allows player to switch from full plate to full cloth, but cant do it manually
Reproduction Rate: 5/5
Blocker? no
Details: Either this is an exploit or not, I dont know what the intention is with deck swapping or which side of this coin is the bug; if a player makes 2 decks, one with full cloth gear and the other with full plate, player can use deck swap hotkey during combat to change gear that he cannot change usually in combat (helm gloves boots chest legs necklace belt ring cloak)

Steps to Reproduce:

1. log in
2. get a set of full heavy armor and another of light armor (helm gloves legs chest etc)
3. make 2 different decks, one with each set of armor as "linked" items
4. enter combat with a monster and swap decks between the 2 decks created at step 3

This is by design. You can change gear and weapons this way if you have an alt deck set up. But if you try it manually liked you stated, you cannot.
It's good if you are running around as death (for example) and all of a sudden you have a death resistant mob like a skeleton in front of you. You could change from cloth/magic to leather/bow, for example, to give you a fighting chance.
