Feedback:User/Erasculio/Allow heroes to carry bundles

Many missions have bundles, items to be carried replacing a character's weapons. Some of those bundles are required for mission completition, others are not required but are instead useful for the task at hand. However, for characters who focus on physical damage, being unable to attack due to holding a bundle is cumbersome; a Warrior doing the Arborstone mission would be stuck between not using the Urn of Saint Viktor properly, having to pick it and then drop it as soon as an enemy is found, or not attacking and thus being almost useless.

One way to lessen this problem would be by allowing heroes to carry bundles. We have already been given a way to make heroes drop items they're carrying, thanks to the update which added the "Force item drop" icon to the hero control panel. All we need is a way to make heroes pick bundles.

My suggestion, then, is to allow heroes to pick bundles by having the player selecting the bundle and clicking the "Lock target" icon in the hero control panel. It would allow heroes to carry bundles without requiring any new user interface art, lessening the problem hopefully without demanding too many of Arena Net's resources.
