Guild Wars 2

I’m sure many people, myself included, would like to have the option to switch between different lines of traits. For example, as a thief, sometimes I need a build that will grant me more sustain- so I will integrate lots of toughness into my trait line. However, I also want to be able to do as much damage as I can, not worrying about my sustain. Also, different trait lines complement different weapons so I think that if there is weapon swapping then there should be duel trait lines. I’m thinking that this may only be available at level 60 to grant players something to look forward to at the higher levels.

I would also appreciate this. I have a PvE build and a WvW build. It is really annoying switching between the two.

Yes, I hv different build for different weapons, If I change weapon I just pay to NPC and assign the whole trait again. I don’t mind pay, but I want to do it effectively. May be system would store the traits as trait 1 / 2 / 3 / 4, then player consume an item to allow them select different trait. And this re-trait item sold from NPC for a few silver?

Love the way you tackled this idea.

You didn’t just ask for a trait-build system like most short-sighted folks do.
You took into account the fact ANet wants trait-setting to be a gold-sink, and came up with a nice alternative.

In addition to letting us save builds, restrict switching between builds to an item that is exclusively sold by Profession Trainers.

The cost should exceed the current cost to reset all 70 traits, because it’s more convenient then going to the trainer.

+1 I thought about making this suggestion a while ago but didnt had many ideas on how to suggest it, maybe now some ppl like Skyblue.9358 would see this post and share their ideas.
ty for the post

I agree. I love this idea and I’d have no problem paying a little more silver for the convenience.
