It is expected to also work in the region Global MapleStory.

Expected Behavior:

The expected behavior is a clear and seamless transition without any error between equipment items, whether it be equipping, de-equipping, and/or swapping the equipment item. (video and timestamp of the expected mentioned behavior ) This expectation of being about to equip, de-equip, and/or swap a piece of equipment is currently present in other regions such as Korean MapleStory and in this region Global MapleStory.
An example of a Wild Hunter summon skill that performs as expected during equipping, de-equipping, and/or swapping equipment will be “V SKILL” Resistance Infantry3. To experience the mentioned equipment transition, follow the following steps:
1. Achieve a Wild hunter to minimum level 200 and complete the 5th job advancement.
2. Unlock summon node skill “Resistance Infantry” and place it on an available node slot.
3. Cast the summon skill Resistance infantry in either a monster map OR any non-monster map.
4. During the duration of the summon attempt to either equip, de-equip, or swap a piece of gear from either inventory or equipment inventory.
5. NO error will be presented to the player and a successful equipping, de-equipping, and/or swapping takes place.

3. Resistance Infantry
a. Summons a squad of Resistance infantry to blast the enemy with long-ranged attacks. Unaffected by attack reflection.
b. MP Cost: 650, Duration: 10 sec, Damage: 455%, Number of Attacks: 9, Max Enemies Hit: 12
c. Cooldown: 25 sec

Actual Behavior:
The class Wild Hunter is unable to make any equipment changes while having the summons Drill Salvo and/or Hunting Assistant Unit active. This is due to these skills counting the player as in a combat state. This behavior is only witnessed in the region of Global Maplestory and an error is presented to the player. The other regions such as Korean Maplestory are able to make equipment changes while the summons is out and attacking either monsters or bosses. I have included a video with a time stamp demonstrating a Korean MapleStory Wild Hunter who is swapping a ring into a different ring. In the video, you can visually see the Drill Salvo summon and the Hunting Assistant Unit summon attack the boss during the ring swap.
