Guild Wars 2

I would like to propose that ArenaNet set up a system so that characters can have 2, or even 3, trait builds available. With the flux in fight mechanics between Word Vs World, Structure PvP, and Tournament PvP, this is something that we sorely need.

Joining any one of these PvP game types results in having to waste time resetting traits to what they should optimally be for the particular build (WvW, sPvP, tPvP) as well as re-applying runes and sigils to ensure that we are prepared.

I know that Thieves get a lot of hate on the forums, and I only just started doing PvP a few days ago. However…

In WvW I am NOT going to go in there with my Pistol/Dagger condition build. If I do, it won’t be the same traits…I’d probably sacrifice dodge and survivability in order to get Venomous Aura in order to share my poisons with my guild/team.

In sPvP I will either run my Pistol/Dagger condition build, or a Sword/Dagger “melee” build (it’s not a glass canon backstab thing, but does damage and provides suvivability).

In tPvP I will (probably, haven’t found a team yet) probably go with a scouting Dagger/Dagger build in order to scout around the map and pick of people of low health, while providing support with my Shortbow from afar.

I’m glad that our PvE traits and PvP traits are separate ( at least, in HotM it’s free to re-trait ), it would be a lovely thing if we could just select a predefined trait setup. Just put that bad boy at the top of the Traits window and let us pick Setup 1, Setup 2, Setup 3.

And please, for your love of whatever gods that you believe in (or whichever pizza topping is best, should you lack belief in make-believe creatures, as I do), please do not charge us some stupid amount of gold for something that is a game feature and not an “item”! I hated this in all other MMOs, and there are tons of money sinks in this game already

Sincerely,

Me ;-)
