Guild Wars 2

One of the biggest barriers to enjoying the game so far for me has been changing builds, which was one of the promoted benefits of the game. While I can cheaply swap my traits and stats whenever I want, many builds rely upon specific weapons, armor, and rune sets. Before I can even get a good feel for a new build, I have to grind for mats and money to get new equipment. Done it once, and didn’t like it, so I switched back to my original build. I can’t even sell the equipment I won’t be using since it’s soulbound… all I can do is salvage it for a small portion of the crafting mats that were used to make it.
I’ve used the build editors, but numbers only go so far. What would be great would be able to try out a build with BIS equipment before investing my time to outfit my character. Maybe we could have a small instance that would allow us, while we are in the instance, to freely swap our traits and equip whatever we want without having to buy or craft it? NPC’s could provide us a chance to test our build against different enemy types.

What about the Mists?

What about the Mists? I’m not understanding what you mean… honestly, I haven’t played there yet

Ah.

Basically, in the Mists:

• All Runes, Sigils and max damage weapons are free.
• All stats are on an amulet.
• All skills are unlocked and trait respeccing is free.

You also got dummies to test on, and NPC’s to fight.

Thanks, I’ll have to try it out.

i was suggesting it myself. it’s a great place to experiment new builds
