Not to veer off topic but I would recommend carrying a backup weapon to switch to in those low level scenarios if you're running out of durability. I know it can still be an issue sometimes, though.

What about the "Switch weapon mid-battle function, with the weapon in question consuming itembelt slot" idea?
I think you mentioned such in the past, and more often than not I find myself in a battle and be Like "Okay, I got my lightweight weapon to hit those speedster-" *deals 7 damage* "Well fuck you are a tank! guess I fight the whole fight with the wrong weapons."

which I find sort of hilarious, in it's own right buuuut... It would probably be cool to be able to have access to secondary weapons one way or another mid battle.
