Weapon Bar

This is the area on the screen that shows your available Weapon combinations, i.e. Weapon Sets.

The Weapon Bar may display up to 4 Weapon Sets, any one of which may be equipped by using the F1 - F4 keys. This can be particularly useful if you have weapons or off-hand items that are specific to one enemy type, or if you use skills from both of your professions. Note that the ability to switch among Weapon Sets is disabled if the Weapon Bar is hidden from the user interface.

You can add weapon slots if you do not already have them available in the inventory screen. Under your characters feet, click on weapon sets, and select each one you want.

Weapon Sets are useful for aggravating enemies. A warrior can pull just one enemy towards him, instead of attracting a horde of them by using a longbow and then switching back to a sword.

Another popular and strategic use is focus swapping. By changing to a different set of weapon/focus, it is possible to increase or decrease a character's maximum energy, which can be useful in a variety of situations. Note that swapping into a set that reduces maximum energy while current energy is already at zero will cause current energy to become negative, leaving the player completely without energy while the deficit is being recovered.
