Put the video in slow motion to see all a little bit more clear ;)
I did this little video to show how i swap, a lot of people asked me about how I swap, so... there is. Hope you found this usefull, also I recommend to read the notes.
PS: if you want more of this just comment what you want to see.
Notes:
-*Left Hand*(After to parry) I grab the controller with the claw grip, with my index finger in the Down Arrow and the thumb in the analogic, to move while swap.
-*Right Hand*
-I recommend practicing those swap in order, 1º ring, 2º weapon, 3º ring weapon
-I hold down the arrow to the ring slot, after to practice it several times you going to do it inconciently, its all about muscular memory.
-There is another ways to swap, but those are wich I use.
I forgot to mention something, in double swaps I press the down arrow 2 times, one time to swap weapon AND to get into the ring slot (thats only one movement) and another to change ring.")

Before to watch this *This video contain some of the new weapons of the 2nd DLC*
So there is, Its pretty similar to Stance Swap, but this one, swap to the same animation of the first weapon used. Me and Elder Teacher discover this new way to swap yesterday, and its a pretty fun technic tbh. So hope you like it.
If you have any question let me know in the comments ;)
