I'm a big fan of using multi-builds - whether it's as a pseudo-respec, doing a solo vs team or concept vs normal build or any other use, I think they're one of the handiest things added into the game.
Few things I'd like to see, though:
1. Rename without switching.
I've brought this one up before. If you want to rename your builds, you have to switch TO the build - and you're subject to the 15 minute timer before you can rename the second.
(In other words:
- Rename current build - provide name.
- Switch build.
- Rename current build - will give you an error telling you to wait 15 minutes.)
There are times I don't *want* to swap builds - I just want to rename them when setting them up. Either a menu item (Rename build X, Rename build Y) and/or slash command would be nice to have.
2. Simul-level.
Another of the "bitten by 15 minutes" items. You level, you level both builds, of course - both are (say) level 38. It would be nice to pick powers on both at the same time on the trainer ("Build 1/Build 2") without actually swapping TO them. (Perhaps with the OPTION to swap, sure.) But it'd be nice to just get both done at once without actually having to swap.
3. Enhancing without swapping.
Yeah, same as 2. Yes, it'd take more time at the stores, I'm sure, but as purely QOL, again... it'd be nice.
Note neither 2 nor 3 would be part of a respec - just normal leveling. Each build would have to be respecced separately at a trainer, keeping enhancements separate (other than the tray) and just keeping straight which build you're doing what to.
The other build would also have to EXIST for any of this to work - if you want a new build to switch to, you're level 50 and "build 2" has never been touched, spend time at the trainer to do it. (Often by the time I, at least, am done with that and some enhancements, I can swap back anyway.)
4. "Build reference"
And related to the last two - it'd be nice to take a quick look at your "other build" without having to swap to it - say, to see if it DOES need enhancing, or for a "What was I thinking? I need to redo it!" or to see if it'd work better with your team/mission/whatnot.
