Guild Wars 2

Wow, after seeing so much positive talk about Golemancers meeting Asuran Players, I thought a Racial Build would be awesome, especially for Asurans… Anyone else agree? Feel free to leave opinions ;D

FYI, not trying to make this a recommendation for Asurans only; more for different Races with their specific abilities-just thought a Special Trait System would be awesome for each Race-I don’t know about you guys, but I’d pay Gold for one ;3

You mean a team of 5 Asuran players all using Power Suit, Summon Attack Golem, Summon Defensive Golem and Runes of the Golemancer?

That… would be interesting to see, I’ll admit. XD

You can use attack golem or defensive golem, but not both.

Don’t forget your golem mini! I currently run the defensive golem, the rune of the golemancer golem, and the mini, and even just by myself, it’s a hoot.

When I’m running my offensive armor set, its runes of the golemancer. When I can get away with it, I add in the Series D Golem as well, and throw in a golem mini, and yeah, its fun.

If only there was a way to also have a power suit…. ah well. I decided I liked the D-Golem more than the power suit, and with the golemancer runes and mini, is a lot of fun.

Sounds epic! My idea is for ANet to bring out a special Trait System for those Racial Skill Builds ;3

I want a golemancer class!!

LOL

Wait… wait….

I want a nonelite racial skill. Bomb Golem, from COE. Or, a new elite, swarm of bomb golems.

a special racial class would be neat but all the races should have one.

Like a shaman for norn (with a choice of bear, wolf, raven, or snow leopard), golemancer for asura, legionnaire for charr, warden for sylvari, and hmm… humans dont really have an npc class that represents them like that. Well i’m sure anet could come up with something for humans.

For Human I’d say a special summoning skill which let’s you summon mini Gods in Spirit Form who do special damage to enemies via what they’re known for (Balthasar-Fire, Dwayna-Water, etc) at the cost of something, like maybe immobilisation on the main character… That’s what I’m thinking considering the main character will be OP without the immobilisation or something.
Second idea is to have Elementalist-Type Summoned Weapons for each God, so a huge fiery Axe for Balthasar, etc.

Humans could have something relating to their gods.
A spell for each? The heal could be Dwayna…. I dunno haha

Good ideas!

That would be amazing for ANet to add! It’d pretty much re-define Races and encourage people to play specific Races with more meaning besides from physical appearances in-game, voice overs, few unused Racial Skills and an easily forgettable Storyline… Having a Build to relate to the Race would engage many more people to each individual race and encourage those people to think more deeply about the co-operation side of the races in terms of PvP and helping others through the Build’s benefits, as well as adding more diversity to each Build, not only on each class, but with each Race. This’d be a change because, compared to Races in big PvP/WvW (etc) Groups, all the Races do is enable the Team to identify a Charr/Norn from an Asuran/Human/Sylvari usually because of height/Voice recognition, so why not add more diversity amongst all the Charr/Human/Norn/Sylvari/Asuran Race Players with an extra Choice of Specific Builds to add a better individuality amongst the Players in each Race?… Why haven’t ANet already added this? XD

Well those are my thoughts, I understand it may be a big step from all the Advertising GW2 have proposed, and it may cause a change in the Guides and Introductions to new Members, but this should make the Game less-repetitive and boring to be in Dungeon Groups and look at an Asuran and think: “Ugh, another midget I’ll probably tread on…”, but instead propose that idea of what to expect and not to stereotype Asurans for being Midgets, hence the diversity this would introduce C:

Could be a specific to pve game mode. That way they don’t have to worry too much about balancing it. Haha

That’s actually a pretty neat idea… What if we had an 11th skill slot where could only put racial skills in it?

But if the other races get an entire class and humans only get a few skills, wont all the humans feel shafted?

I know humans get everything, the armor and weapons are designed for them, they have the only good racial skill already, and a majority of the game + LS is dedicated to humans, but they still are the majority. Anet cant just exclude them like that.

The only reason I say I don’t know what to do for humans is because humans dont have a major allied npc class. There are already shamans of the spirits in the game. You see members of a legion all the time. Golemancers are not only allies (and some enemies) but are well known to be a part of asura culture. Sylvari wardens can be seen in game throughout caledon forest (although now that I think of it, Valiant might be a better class name for a sylvari racial class).

Humans though, they don’t have a group like that. The ones I can think of off the top of my head are the lionguard or the ebon vanguard. Though maybe having a class called fallen angel has some potential, it’s a cool name for a class.

The real challenge for anet would be how would these classes work. I’d put them more of a jack of all trades kinda class, they can use any weapon or armor effectively but would need to trait into that weapon or armor.

You know the more I think about the idea of a racial class the more i’m starting to like it…

Not enough room on my Keyboard for that hahah xD (I use the Numbered keys ;D)
