Constant swapping for instruments and weapons is only for the truely insane.
I may switch back and forth during a battle as is called for, but not
constantly. You might want to remind your groupmate that EQ is after all a
social game and it is impossible to be social while twisting constantly. If
I am in a group and all is well, I have no problem only leaving one song
playing so I can chat with my friends, in group, tells, or guildsay. So
tell that monk to relax =)
