Like the post says, almost all gears are unequipped (including shadow gears) when swapping gear sets. I think it's because you are not really allowed switch gears (even arrows) when SR is active so it strips you instead of proceeding with the swap.
Would it be possible to just restrict/disable the swap button while SR is active since it just strips your gears anyway or maybe make swapping work but make it not do any damage at all similar to Hiding when SR is active?
It's not really an urgent issue and not sure if it's a hard adjustment, but maybe this can be looked into next time. Sometimes you die in BG with your SR still active and you forget it and swap (or just panic in a clash and try to swap quickly lol). It takes some time to get back into action when it happens.
Thank you.
