Guild Wars 2

Ok the idea is this:

In Guild Wars 1 we could make skill builds and change between them at will in towns.

I would like to suggest a similar system for GW’s 2 but limited to only 3 saved trait builds per character which can be switched at anytime…. If you want to make a new one then you go to your trait trainer and for an increased amount you can make a new trait build and save it instead.

I myself have a few trait setups that I like to use for different areas and its annoying to have to go to a trait trainer EVERY time I need to change it.

Maybe someone can expand apon the idea but that is basically what I suggest… Thanks

Not familiar with the GW1 system as I did not play it. But I did play WoW and sorely miss the ability to switch between two different speccs.

I am sure this is true for most players/classes, but different situations call for different builds. My personal situation as a thief is that I want a dps build for when I am out in the open world or in dungeons, but when I am in WvW I sometimes want a more utility/stealth oriented build. Sure I can pay the small fee to retrain every time I switch between the two, but come on, that gets annoying real fast. And also, while in WvW, my stealth build is very situational, and I would on occasion like to switch to a more pure dps build when defending locations or siegeing.

Having the ability to switch between two different speccs would make my experience a lot more enjoyable and I am sure the same can be said for a lot of people. Again borrowing from WoW I would suggest only being able to do it out of combat and give it a rather long cast time, perhaps even a long cooldown so as not to be abused. But forcing us to go back and manually assign all our trait points again is just tedious.

I started a topic relating this issue a few days ago, you might wanna take a look into it:

Also, would be nice if any Mod could merge both threads.

Yes i want this so you can save the build.
It would also be nice to have this in details/sound settings on options so that you could change down details if you’re fps decrease but turn it up again to what you’re hardware can manage easily.

I wish you had separate builds for pve, dungeons and www. Like you can have separate build for pve and pvp.

Pve, dungeons and www are all 3 very different instances with very different requirements. If you had 3 different build options, you would always be most effective in that special instance.

good idea for switching trait stats is fall damage ect when you have to jump off a cliff. have to open up charater menu go to traits remember witch number was arcane abatement again…I can add tons of others but having to track down a skill/trait is more work then fun
