Guild Wars 2

So I think we ALL want this. It’s “Guild Wars” after all… When I heard GW2 would also have a small skill bar I was happy that they decided to stick to the concept of GW1. But after a while being stuck with the same skills gets boring very quickly.

Great we have 3 skill slots we can change! (Not counting Elites since every class only really have one reliable elite.)

Don’t let my rambling make you guys go off topic. Let’s make them realize how we feel and show the dev’s that we WANT and NEED more diversity in skill choice. (No different weapon’s is not enough)

“We want to make the core game better”, why not start with this?

I want a new trait system. I don’t like the current mechanics for traits.

Also agree with the OP on skill list.
But I will make my own thread on this subject and not derail the OP.

“I” don’t care either way.

How many of those skills do you actually use? Do you use every single skill to the point that you need more of them? Or do you only use a select few?

If you only use a select few, then why do you want more useless skills that you will never use?

Here’s the thing. If they introduce a bunch of new skills, how many people are really going to use them? Most people are comfortable with their current builds cause they are the most effective. Sure we might use a few new skills to mix it up, but in the end, adding a ton of skills will just add more clutter to the tons of skills we don’t even use now.

There is already several variations of builds available that people can toy with. And by several, I mean a ton. But people would rather stick to the meta and not try new things. So only a few skills get used on all professions, because that is the best combination. Then they complain there isn’t enough skills, when they refuse to mix up their build to try out all the other skills.

So instead of asking for more skills that will just get tossed in the waste with the ones no one uses now, mix up your play style completely. Use completely different skills than what everyone else is using and you’ll soon realize that there is plenty of skill combinations out there already.

More weapons, more skills, even if some are as buggy as current skills (Guardians will know…) I would like to see it.

Plus if they end up being “not entirely unique enough” skills just put them on family weapons – eg. hmmm Flail 4 acts quite like Mace 4, similar auto attack with different symbol, ooh look Flail 5 is a little bit like a GS 5 but not really… etc.

Drunken brainstorming session / team building excercise – get the whole team in on the names / weapons and let the rest shake itself loose.

Id like faction specific skills as well like GW1 had.

Also yes more skills like what GW1 had would be nice…

Also duel professions…. That would add a lot of choice instead of the usual cookie cutter builds we see now…
