Guild Wars 2

I have been hearing guild wars 2 wants there classes to be more diverse and i keep hearing great new traits they want to put in or change. The solution is to add a new Trait branch or add 10 more points into traits. yes it changes a lot but gives people more builds to work on and make them more diverse because I am sick of looking at 1 or 2 builds that are useful. I have played with every class in the game and got them to 80 except engineers because their play style is very limited. also the ten extra skill points being put in is not overpowered because every class will get that strong buff and more builds would come out.
Give your opinion on this “Freedom of Speech”

Now, I’d like to point out that
Scenario 1: You have as many traitpoints that it would take to fill the entire grid. There is only one build avaible
Scenario 2: You only have 1 traitpoint to put in, There are only 5 builds avaible.

Therefore, more traitpoints to spend does not necessarely mean more builds. Have you actually done the math? If so, may I go over your calculation?

Rather than add more trait points, ANet needs to:

• Get rid of the ‘boring’ traits (straight up +DMG and +Stats [the +dmg and +stats when a criteria is met aren’t too bad imo] ect)

• Add more interesting traits. These traits should have criteria that you need to meet before they activate to encourage smart play (control effects last longer if target is immobilized, pets aren’t affected by stealth if their ability is on cooldown, ect).

In addition to what TheDaiBish said, I would suggest that ArenaNet need to go back to the beta idea where all major traits are available throughout the traitline; eg. you could get Vigorous Shouts with only 10 points invested in Tactics as opposed to 30. This would massively expand the amount of builds available as well as the number of counters and really make things interesting.

Fred i see what you mean about the extra trait point I was just thinking since there are always complains about people saying “why do I have the same build as everyone else” that this should not be happening all traits need to be more balanced, Arenanet should be working on a new branch of skills because it just puts more diversity into the game and that is what Arenanet is trying to perfect in this game i’m just throwing ideas at them to make it more fun for others. I am not doing this for personal gains. Also if you have any ideas for them to become more diverse in the game just post.

OH….. Fred when i said add extra skill points i meant extend the branches or make a new branch, so instead of 30 skills branch it would be 40. which personally i don’t see a problem with that.

Ah, yes, in that case, you’d need more trait points. But there seems to be trouble balancing the current trait trees, making larger trait trees would also lead to more gimmick builds.
