Guild Wars 2

This is something that’s been bugging me for awhile. The weapon skill tooltips are really great and it’s really simple to gleam information at a glance from them, but some of the trait tooltips leave a bit to be desired.

I’ll start off by saying a majority of the tooltips for traits are fine and give all the information they need. But some are so vague as to just say “gives/grants condition/boon when X happens” which doesn’t really give someone a whole lot to go one. How long does it last? How often can it occur? Or many proffesion’s have “Increases weapon Y’s damage” by how much?

Not too mention some tooltips fail too mention that they do not stack with other increases to the same attribute. The Necromancer’s quickening thirst for instance says something along the lines of “Gain 10% movement speed for wielding a dagger in your main hand, and 5% for wielding one in your off hand” but dual wielding daggers does not stack the effect to 15%, only 10%, nor does the effect stack with the Signent of the Locust, which increases move speed by 10%.

TL;DR Bottom of the line some of the trait tooltips are really inconsistent with the rest. But going beyond that some are very misleading. I know personally I’d love to see traits get the same love weapon skills did, but that’s a best case scenario.

So it’s kind of a nit pick I know since I can find more concise information on the wiki and etc. But I thought I’d make the suggestion anyway since it has been bugging me while playing around with builds in game.
