Guild Wars 2

I feel like that if the Healing and Elite were made two utility slots, it would increase the build variety and allow us a different choice if we don’t want a healing skill or an elite skill for whatever reason.

For example, a player is so good at dodging and evading enemy attacks that he doesn’t even need his healing skill. He would be rewarded for his dodging skill by being allowed to swap his healing skill out with an utility skill.

Another example, a player feels that his utility skills are great, but that the elite skills that his profession got are either terrible or doesn’t work well with the utility skills he is currently using. He can just choose to swap his elite skill out with an utility skill, would he wish to.

Of course, for balance purposes and to make Elite skills feel Elite, players are still restricted to only one healing skill and one elite skill at any time.

So, what do you think? Thoughts? Potential problems?

hmm, sounds interesting, I don’t really use the elite skill a lot for my ele but there are many utilities that I would want to use instead of it.

Making the elite slot optional or making it boost utilities placed there would be a nice change.

However I have to disagree about the healing skill if this was optional people would ignore it and fall back to relying on others to heal them.

imagine a thief with ballisik venom thief adds and the whirl, merging them will make most people use more than one elite which will screw the balance, healing skill is essential, removing it will be suicide mode, a new level of glasscanons that no one would enjoy but the glasscanons themselves.

it’s amazing how useless some elite skills are
