Guild Wars 2

I wish we could pick some variation/harmony to our liking with the 5 weapons skills we get based on weapon choice. Was it always the intention to simplify a weapon down to 5 moves for some purpose like balancing DPS or similar? I use a long bow often and I hardly ever use 3 and often skip 4 if my 2nd weapon is melee. I’d like to see some variety here.

Agree’d. I actually have to build towards my 3 or 5 on daggers to even make use of them. I would very much like to change those out for skills I’d actually use, for example I don’t use death blossom on a backstab build with no +condition damage and I don’t use 5 on a condition build because I don’t have crit or use stealth. I want to use ALL of my skills, and not waste initiative in the process for some mediocre damage.

I’ve built a hybrid condition/crit thief because I like using all of my skills, but it would be nice to change them out so I could use different builds and still use those 3 and 5. It’s pretty boring as-is.
