Guild Wars 2

This concerns Tactics traits at 5, 15 and 25 points.

Enough has been said about the current versions with their focus on rezzing, so I’d like to move ahead and propose a new set centred around combos.

5 “Thrill Seeker” : Combos give adrenaline.

Gain a strike of adrenaline when you combo. 1s cooldown.

15 “On A Roll” : Combos give endurance

Gain 10% adrenaline when you combo. 1s cooldown.

25 “Battle Synergy”: Combos heal

Heal for ?? when you combo. ?? cooldown.

Notes

As it stands Tactics has something of a focus on the Longbow, Warhorn and banners, which are all combo-friendly weapons. I’d like the Tactics minor traits to encourage warrior players to make use of combos and be rewarded for doing so, and to abandon the current focus on revival (for which we have the Warbanner).

yesssss! this game needs more heal on warriors! they deserve it!

I find these suggestions not good: while longbows, warhorn and banners are part of the tactics trait line, they are not the only thing that are part of the trait line. Shouts for instance benefit from this trait line immensely also (in a minor degree) greatsword. Do not forget the traits like empowered and empower allies. All of those do not use combo’s. Making all minors revolve around combo’s will make those trait lines less interesting for them while reviving is very usefull no matter what type of build.

Also the warrior suffers from a lack of combo fields (with combustive shot being the only one). So the introduction of combo fields are only usefull if you have a teammate which uses combo fields. Such dependancy on allies will weaken the trait line.

Also not everyone uses warbanner: many use signet of rage.

The current minor traits also rely on you having allies around you that you can rezz. And don´t tell me that you put points in this line just for the minors.

While I like the idea to make the minors center on combos I don´t think that additional adrenaline or health are necessary. Maybe giving short buffs to oneself and others would be better.

Yes you need allies to be effective , but in the combo minors you need allies which places combo fields which is a bigger dependency then the reviving ones.

And no I don’t take this line for just the minors, though I do feel they are usefull.
