I would like to have trait pages to be able to adapt more easily in the game. With trait pages I mean the alternative to switch between different sets of traits.
It could look something like this:

Page 1
20
0
30
20
0

Page 2
0
0
20
30
20

Page 3

When I for example play my elementalist, I do different things depending on the situation. Sometimes I need to do damage, other times I need to heal and at some points I need to be beefier. Being able to easily switch traits to better adapt to my current role, instead of having to plan ahead and respec. at a trainer, would make it easier and smoother to be ready for anything.

I do not know exactly how this sytem would work, but I do think it would be possible to put in the game and I do think that it would be appreciated.

Any thoughts and comments on this topic would be appreciated ^.^

Suggestion itself is good. However, there are balance issues to be considered… For one, if this was to be implemented it should be turned off in PvP and WvW.

Second, having several pages eliminates the cost to retrain your trait points at a trainer, well not completely but for the most part.

So, if this was to be implemented, this is how I think it should be balanced (PvE only of course):

Make a new NPC in each town or just in LA that can unlock extra trait pages for karma, perhaps from a minimum level onwards. Each extra page you unlock will cost more karma than the ones before it, up to a maximum of 4 pages total.

Switching between pages in town will not cost anything, but flipping a page while in a combat zone of any kind will cost karma. A randomly decided estimation is 10 karma per level, so 800 karma each time you flip a page at 80. And perhaps double that amount when inside a dungeon.
