Guild Wars 2

I am not sure if this is feasible or not, but here goes.

Make every armor wearable by every profession. HOWEVER, make downsides and upsides to wearing each type.

For example (but not limited to), wearing:

light armor means you cast and recharge spells faster than heavy (medium in the middle).

Heavy armor could mean less damage taken and more resistant to takedown effects.

Medium armor could allow for increased vigor

This would still encourage necros/mesmers/ele’s to wear light and warriors/guardians to wear heavy etc, but could allow for more variety in builds and appearance.

That’d require a reworking of all abilities, weapons and armors in the game.

Nope.

Not to mention how Anet doesn’t really take the suggestion forum seriously.

I do not think it would necessarily take reworking of everything, but thanks for your feedback!

I think they take this forum seriously, but there are a lot of suggestions which are out of the scope of their abilities/direction etc. Also, for every suggestion, there is a counter suggestion – which one do you choose?
