This would be a great addition in PvP and WvW. Being a PvP player myself I find myself constantly using my mouse pointer to change my utility skills to the same utility skills for given a specific situation when out of combat.
Sample scenarios:
- After killing a roamer in WvW and I’m out of combat I have to point and click Signet of Shadows. I see another person or a mob that I want to engage in combat I have to switch out my Signet of Shadows if its not beneficial for me in a fight.
- I just killed a player and I’m out of combat. A group of players then spot me from a distance. I know they are going to chase me, to lose them I switch to Caltrops, Signet of Shadows and Needle Trap.
Suggested Limitations ( To be fair and for it not to be too OP.. ):
- Definitely cannot be used in combat.
- Utility Skills on cooldown cannot be changed.
- You can only have 1 Back-Up Utility Skill for every 1 Utility Skill. So skill 7 has one, skill 8 has one, skill 9 has one.
Note
- Elite Skills can be managed with clicking most of the time a profession only has 3 or 4 anyway. Unlike Utility Skills where you have to find where the skill is and click it.
