Guild Wars 2

Please replace the traits that deal with falling, and put something there thats more useful for all classes please.

I second this.

I guess I always assumed that the falling related things were for WvW or something else I haven’t done. I would be quite happy to see them replaced with something more generally useful.

And if anyone has any thoughts on when this sort of thing does come in handy, I’d love to hear about it.

I’m pretty sure the guardian trait that reduces fall damage doesn’t even work, so if that’s true, a new trait really would be nice, something that works at least.

Nah I like cliff jumping and only losing half my health is great

It works and has been working for ages.

It was handy in a few jumping puzzles, allowed shortcuts during the Mad King Dungeon.

Why?

It is a truly unique feature that is very, very handy. Just use some other Trait until you find yourself having to jump off a cliff.

I get the damage reduction one, that’s pretty obvious. I’m more thinking about the “launch a barrage of grenades when you fall” or the “release blinding powder when you fall” part of it.

Both of those also contain damage reduction, which is certainly useful. Is the bomb/powder/etc component just for flavor or is that part of it predictably useful as well?

I suppose I’ll end up falling into a bunch of mobs someday and wishing I had it slotted, but until then I’m still curious.

NOOO!

Nothing’s more funny than activating stability, endure pain and then jumping on the bunch of people below the wall with my warrior. Death From Above!

those can come in ahndy at times in JP’s or runing south in WvW in your own borderlands for a shortcut down the cliffs to the garrison or evne more souther towers or something like that

Every single one of my characters with access to this trait gets this trait as a matter of course. It is extremely useful for getting around since it means you can fall for nearly twice the standard distance without dying.

i love it! i use it a lot in jumping puzzles and wvw

Yeah, I love doing this when they’re trying to capture a keep.

GET OFF MY LAWN!

just no, i like jumping from mountains and buildings, these traits are awesome.

also save lives in many jumping puzzles

The fall traits are GREAT. I’m always derping off ledges and they have saved me more times I can count. And even for people who don’t do dumb things like that, I know my thief’s cloak-on-falldamage trait is awesome for WvW keep defense. I just find a low HP target, jump off the wall towards him, and I’m already stealthed for backstab.

I’d prefer it if there was actually a falling trait for every attribute, so it’s not just certain types of characters that get access to it on demand in puzzles.

This is a stupid suggestion. This trait is super useful. I use it in dungeons all the time (Cliffside Fractal and SE path 3, it’s super useful for both).

Wanting them to take a trait out because you don’t personally use it makes you a jerk.
Just use a different trait.

i personally just want the engineer one given like when falling you place a trampoline underneath you cause you to bounce once at the half the height you fell from. Or give us parachutes

I think these traits do need to be revamped for some classes. I play a thief and only do wvw, so I constantly use this trait. The smoke bomb aspect to it is also amazing since u can drop of of keep walls and cliffs to smoke bomb stealth your allies that are low health and knocked on the ground for falling.
Even in pve these traits are usefull for moving across areas instead of taking detours you just go down the cliff.
