Guild Wars 2

I was having a thought about builds earlier today, and specifically traits. It’s not such a big deal in pvp, since it costs nothing to retrait, and you can do it at any point in the heart of the mists.

However, in pve/wvw, you need to find a trainer and pay them in order to change your trait lines and thus your build. I think content might be more fun if you could change your traits, armor and weapons via tabs on the hero panel – meaning you could that having multiple setups available to you at the click of a button, so you can contain a build within a tab and switch traits without visiting a trainer.

I’m sure this probably isn’t a new idea for most of you, I haven’t played many mmo’s, I’m just suprised Guild Wars 2 doesn’t have this. Players could adapt to fill multiple roles in dungeons, and would make strategies for clearing them a lot more interesting. I’d thought maybe make them available for gems and badges of honor for pve/wvw content, and maybe sell them in pvp for glory to make it less hassle to switch between builds and re-input traits.

This would potentially open up loads of new ways to do content both solo and in a group, and would also give players more insentive to play wvwvw, at least to get more badges for tabs.
