Guild Wars 2

I know I know, Wow has em and Gw2 is not wow, but lets face it- its necessary!

How many of you play a build, lets say for leveling/wvw/dungeons, and then go into a boss fight or do something else, and find out that the build is completely useless.

now, instead of having to go, respec your traits and wear all your new cloths for the different build, why not have 2 builds which the player can switch between from?
(not in combat of course)

because lets say i have a condition build for pve, and then i go to a dungeon only to find out that there are 2 more condition players. i would quickly switch to the other build i have, without having to spend money and time on respec.

even though some may think its a rip off from wow or other games, lets face it- it would make the game alot less frustrating, and much more diverse. every charecter would be more helpful, and players would be able to choose their own play style, depending on the situation.

what do you think?

No support i guess :/

It’s something obvious that should be in-game. GW1 had the ability to save your build templates – there should be the same in GW2. Even with the silver cost (let the cash be removed from your inv. each time you change traits.)

I’ll grant, in GW1 you could only change builds in town, but if they broadened that to allow for changing any time you were out-of-combat, life would be good.

Hero panel, skills tab

Weapons skills
Slot Skills
Traits
- trait 1 (free, the current one)
- trait 2 (2g to unlock. also unlocks the build 2)
- trait 3 (2g to unlock. also unlocks the build 3)
- etc
Builds
- build 1 (free, the current one)
- build 2 ( only unlock-able by purchasing trait 2)
- build 3 ( only unlock-able by purchasing trait 3)

Note

The current trait window will be available when selecting in Trait1 in the list and not simply “traits”

Traits and builds will be in connection with each other. Trait 1 / build 1, Trait 2 / build 2, etc

The builds will only apply to right side skill bar and will not affect the weapons skills left side bar

Two builds cannot contain the same skills

Switching builds in combat similar to weapon swap. The specific builds need to be [x] checked in the Builds

No support i guess :/

+1

Plus, I also support having a seondary armor set that is togglable like your secondary weapon. This whole thing is a no brainer.

There’s times I want my critical higher, or my damage, or magic find, etc. Switching my gear can supplement my build. I can go tanky or glas cannon, etc.

This game is not good for versatility as is. Unless they change it, I wind up having to have separate charactrs for separate tasks.
