So as a mesmer I like to switch between Inspiration II and IV traits (glamor cooldown and condition removal on heal) and I’m sure many others adapt their traits based on the situation. Right now you have to press ‘H’ (or whatever your hero menu hotkey is), click the skills tab and click on traits, since there is no way to set a hotkey to ‘traits’. Another problem with this is that it fills up your whole screen and you probably still want to see what’s going on around while just changing a few simple traits.
Imagine you have to do this for changing your utility skills, that’s a lot of work, isn’t it? So since we have these nice arrows above our utility skills, I thought we could have something similar for traits.
My idea would be, add the trait icon that appears in spectator mode when you click on a player somewhere around the skill bar, so you can click it and a miniature version of your traits pops up. There you can change any of your traits any time out of combat and it’s just 2 clicks away!
Let me know what you think
Faster trait access (w/ spectator UI?)
Would really be awesome if the devs got to read this, hope it’s not too much work to implement
