Bow-users (and mages to lesser extent) need to be able to one-button-switch "equipped" ranged item

I say this as a long-time melee and magic main who just recently tried out archery and daggers, and now i see why the archer i play with gets annoyed lol.

As melee, or wizard, i can instantly switch to another weapon or wand with the mousewheel or hitting a hotkey for my bar, and bam, if i had a Fire weapon equipped but a Scavenger attacks me, i can instantly switch to my Shroud weapon. And vice-versa.

Buuuut

the "equipped" item slot, that lets you aim without moving off your daggers, is not so easy to change when it is most needed. Sure, before I go into the Shroud areas i switch off my Shroud bow and use Arsonist (low level toon heh) but everywhere else, you cannot react the way everyone else can to "i now need a different damage type for this enemy that's attacking me!"

Again - YES, I KNOW YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE AREA, but
1) SURPRISES HAPPEN
2) EVERYONE ELSE CAN DO IT.

Pardon the caps, that's for the inevitable "skill isssue" posters.
