Guild Wars 2

I was looking at traits the other day and realised that they are very rigid.

My suggestion is as we all know some of the traits that are and were in Adept tier were too strong and moved into Master tier. but by doing this they became some how weaker, not being actually strong enough for that tier. So my suggestion is have tier spanning traits.

A certain number of traits that when you reach the higher tier you can unlock in the lower tier.

For example if each tier had 5 traits and 2 of those traits could span tiers. if you have only reached the end of adept tier you can choose from 5 traits in the first slot, but if you have spent enough points to make it to the master tier your adept tier now has 7 options. If you reach grandmaster tier your master tier has a choice of 12 options instead of 10. Then finally grandmaster would have 15 traits to pick from. these numbers are all in total.

I personally think this would open up more viable specs to people. That won’t include 30 30 10 builds, but maybe more 20 20 30 or even 20 20 20 10 builds. It would also stop the idea of having to put 10 points into a tier for an great adept trait, but that awesome adept trait will be usable if you are going into that line for your weapon.

Also this added to the idea of adding new traits later in the game could open so many new and exciting builds to the community.
