(Warning... i'm not sure if they announced that D3 will have a 2nd set of weapons like D2 had . if they only have one set of weapons then this idea will not work.)
I thought of this idea while playing D2 but with what they want to do with D3 gameplay, it will fit in perfectly.
the idea is that you can create weapon combinations w/hotkeys so you can switch between combinations that you personaly created with a press of a button.
Example(using D2 since its when i first thought of this idea)
Your character has a sword, a shield that increases health after each kill and a shield that has additional poison resistence.
You are fighting a mob of monsters in the 4th level of the catacombs so you equip your sword and the shield that gives health after each kill. then all the sudden andariel charges you.
Normally you have to go into you inventory and manually switch you shields. but with Weapon Combination you can preset hotkeys so that you can switch shields instantly.
ANY THOUGHTS???

I believe the weapon switch function was released with the expansion. It's been said that they do not currnently have the system in place for D3, but they might consider it.
I'm not really sure what you are suggesting here. Multiple weapon switch slots? Is that it? This is far from an original idea. It is pretty commonly done it D2. Do you know of any one that actually fights with a CTA? I also use a MF switch to an Ali Baba blade and Rhyme shield.
I'm thinking of a set up like D2 where you have 2 weapon sets and a extra window(something like horadric cube in D2) which has up to 8 slots 4 for right hand 4 for left.
You can then move an item from your weapon slots to the combination slots. and like D2 skill hotkey setup each combination will have its own key to instantly select that set.
Example
hotkey #:- R hand - L hand
Hotkey #1: Sword 1 Shield 1
Hotkey #2: Sword 1 Shield 2
Hotkey #3: Sword 2 Shield 1
Hotkey #4: Sword 2 Shield 2
Not sure if this helps for some reason i'm having a hard time to explain it.

Glad to see that i'm not the only one who does that! The weapon switch usually makes the bosses drop crap tho ... IDK why.
