The weapon swap cool down was put in place as an attempt to nerf Gentle Fist/Weapon Master. However this cool down has just negatively impacted every other mastery that needs to utilize weapon swapping in order to deal damage from combos. The nerf had little to no impact on it's core focus. Players with the mastery will simply flicker combo then take the sword out and play with it until the 14 seconds are finished making this weapon swap cool down nerf almost useless. This mainly effects hybrids who need to be able to land their combos consistently in order to keep up with pure builds. There is also the issue of "fat fingering"(when a player presses too hard on their key and it results in the weapon coming on and then back off thus triggering the cool down) meaning you could be completely vulnerable and unable to use the jutsu you need for 5 seconds which usually leads to punishment. Masteries heavily affected by this are (Weapon Master/ Strength Fan Wind), (Taijutsu/ Weapon Master), (Bubble/Taijutsu), (Taijutsu/Strength Fan Wind), (Bubble/Weapon Master). This also takes away from players who want to have unique builds utilizing a sword or any other tool without being a specific mastery. I would strongly urge you to remove the cool down on weapon swapping or atleast reduce the cool down to 1-2 seconds max
