advancing beyond 80
You get a skill point every time you level and these can be used at the Mystic Forge. I also hear that there will be new slot skills available in the future so you can save some SPs for those.
I have an 80 Guardian and I have a support build and a dps build for him. I WOULD like to be able to save and swap between at least two different trait point builds without having to visit a trainer and reallocate the points every time I swap builds…….
I think it’s reward enough that I can wander into any area and still be able to make the battle work in my favor because I have maxed out traits, 80 gear, etc.
Still, as Spunky said, you do get additional skill points per additional level ups, which can be used for purchasing items that you can use to upgrade siege WvW items or preparing for your Legendary item. Sure you could just go ahead and purchase a legendary, but I feel like getting that Blood Stone Shard for 200 skill points is quite rewarding once I’ve done it (which I have).
