Guild Wars 2

Pretty much what the title says, allow us to place a normal slot skill into the elite skill slot. There aren’t many elite skills, and i often find myself never using my elite because most of them are pretty much useless in most situations, plus the ridiculous cool-downs most of them have. I think this would be a great way to open up the game to more builds without actually adding new skills.

Wrong suggestion. Buffs to elites and 3 more elites per profession is the correct suggestion.

Removing content isn’t the answer for broken content.

Removing content? It was never suggested to remove content. The suggestion was to allow utility skills on the elite skill slot.

This clearly open a new array of builds, will add some improvements but will ultimately destroy some of the existing ones. Some classes would have eccentric funny and some OP builds

Elixir HGH Engineer. Ouch.

A simple change to allow those who don’t enjoy their elites an option at more utlity

I’ve been asking for this since I saw how many of the elites are a waste of bar space. Agreed.

And everyplayer would use a non-Elite skill in the Elite slot because most Elite skills are simply awful, wich would be the same as removing content (elite skills).

The answer, as said by the one you quoted, is to fix the usefulness/gameplay of Elite skills, not to give players the means to ignore them.

So they removed content by giving players an option to change weapons or utility skills? Eh... I’m sure it has balancing implications, but that logic is just twisted.

The only thing I want done with the skills is have more weapon skill choices. Like you select your 1 skill from a few others. Repeated on 2-5. Normal skill son Elites? Seems like an oxymoron, not to mention the elite skill can be really good if used correctly. If you do that you would make some classes very powerful.

The horrendous cooldowns on elite skills make them a poor choice for any skill slot.

I’m fairly certain that the guy who said nobody would bring “elites” hit the nail dead on the head.

Fix elite skills to be more useful, not encourage using them even less.
