Guild Wars 2

Give us all traits available in all trees and allow us to pick them, this would further allow customization between the trees, and add greater and more viable builds to all classes, for example:

Warrior Vitality Tree:

‘5’ Determined Revival: Gain 5 toughness per level while reviving.

With this, I can pick between that and other ‘5’ traits, such as:

‘5’ Reckless Dodge: Damage foes at the end of a dodge roll.

So now I have that instead of the before, its not that overpowered if you think about it, it just gives us more choices in customization, its not like I can use a ‘5’ trait as a ‘10’ trait, you have to pick the 5 choices that are already available.

I think your idea isn’t bad, but it’s a little extreme.

In my opinion, each Trait should be available in 2, or maybe 3 Trees.

However, the Trait Line bonuses would need to be redesigned to be attractive even in end game.

Currently the only Trait Line bonuses that scale with your gear are Condition Duration, Crit Damage , F1 Recharge Time and Boon Duration.

The other bonuses would need to be replaced with something that scales too.
A flat +X Power or +X Toughness is bad design.

Essentially, each Trait line should offer a unique combination of Traits, and a unique assortment of bonuses.
This should make you weight the benefit of Traits vs Bonuses.

Along the same lines, I would like to be able to disable certain “5” traits. Particularly the Necromancer’s trait that summons that useless jagged horror whenever you kill something. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to survive a reckless pull of 8-10 undead, only to have that stupid minion (Minion AI is abysmally bad by the way) go pull another two or three things on its own, which keeps me in combat…
