Guild Wars 2

@Developers: With the ability to change our traits at any time out of battle, will you be putting in the capability to save off trait templates, so that we can switch between templates depending on the situation we’re going into?

That way if I’m going into a dungeon and I’m primarily going to be doing a support role as an ele, I can quickly switch to a pre-determined template? Or will I have to redo my traits every stinking time?

This was one thing that I remember really liking about GW1 that didn’t carry forward into GW2

what if the game just stored the last trait you had in each slot and automatically left it there when you respec into that line

itd kinda make templates look less like a holy grail by keeping some of the functionality without having to develop more ui elements

I like both ideas! I would preffer to keep Templates like on GW1, but at LEAST remembering the ones I had would be nice if as, let say an Ele, I want to change from Fire and Air into Earth and Water.

I’m surprised no one else has posted on this one! Everyone I talk to in game wants this, so people…. post here if you think we should have trait templates with the new free trait switching in the April 15th update!

Playing PvP and WvW more there has to be a balance. I don’t want a zerker ranger running away and in 2 seconds coming back as a spirit ranger.

I don’t mind traits being templated given you still need to change the gear, but overall, it has to take a bit of time imho.

just slap a 10 sec cast time on switching templates… short enough to be worth switching but long enough to be an issue if your caught in the middle of a change.

Shouldn’t really be allowed in spvp in the first place.

Devs stated in tPvP you would not be able to change traits (same as now); for PvE, WvW and Hot join PvP….it will become available I think.
