When i played guild wars 1, builds felt kinda personal to me. Builds weren’t just the commonly known repetitively seen and heard about builds that now consume sPvp especially.

I know the structure and balance of gw2 requires less variety amongst builds, and im not suggesting we tamper with this balance at all.

What I am suggesting is that build templates be added back into guild wars. Where you can save the trait distribution, the rune use (all 7 shown individually to there respective equip binds) the sigils/weapons, the utilities used, and the jewel attached to the in game choice of your amulet. (cant make these build changes too instant)

Add small features like the ability to rename and organize your builds to your liking in a new menu/build inventory, this will assist with regaining the personal touch to build making.

The reasons this would benefit guild wars 2? For sPvP players, it would allow fast switching between arenas and matches a whole lot easier and quicker, instead of rushing through the loading screens at pop scrambling to get into the tourney build you want.

This could also be beneficial to WvW and PvE players through a ticket item. A bulk number of items could pay for a template pass, allowing a free (of cash) way to change traits at the time of the players choice. In WvW this would work well between garrisoning a fortress and the defence of it. If the expected attack comes earlier then planned, you could potentially not get stuck in your swiftness build.

Use and Restrictions: In sPvP, the templates feed from your pvp locker, so stock up on all the rune and sigil types for free use of them.

Player cannot access this menu in a match (sPvP) or change without a fast swap ticket (PvE, WvW).

Player can save a build at any time with a button in the traits tab.

In PvE and WvW, the template only takes out from your inventory, so you must have the runes/sigils in inventory if you want them to be applied to the armour, (traits and utilities can still be changes without the runes/sigils).

And thats it, my idea for build templates, i hope its considered for the game id love to use it.
