Guild Wars 2

Was talking to some guildies about the commander tag and how easy it is to attain by people who have it just because, and was thinking there should be something that makes WvW more interesting, and that would be PvP titles (maybe even PvE).

What I’m getting at is, since we already can display titles (like Ascendant, Combat Healer, etc), why not allow them to actually do something? Like Combat Medic for example, would actually make you a combat medic; where your heal skills are maybe 5-10% more effective, you resurrect allies faster or take less damage, etc. Or a title that allows you to carry 5-10 more supplies. These titles you would have to work towards during a long career in WvW, and aren’t something you purchase like the commander tag. Also in addition to some titles, some give auras (aoe benefits to up to 5-10 allies, or more). An example would be like a modified commander title, that makes nearby allies move 10% faster, or deal 5% more damage, or something along those lines, where players benefit from having a commander-like figure in their midst.

Not sure if this has been brought up, but I thought it’d be pretty neat. It’d give everyone something to work towards in WvW rather than just grinding for badges and zerging constantly. Also there could be titles for PvE as well that affect players and their teams/allies. Also, realized I pulled this idea from GW1 heh, but still, would be a nice implementation, I think.
