Guild Wars 2

Why can’t we take 4 slot skills rather than 1 elite and 3 slot skills. I liked that in Guild Wars 1 we didn’t have to take an elite.

Well it’s a good thing you’re playing Jump Wars and not Guild Wars.

Would be cool to have the option.

Yeah I’d take it.

We have been asking for this since Beta

This is a feature I would use.

They could, I don’t, revamp the elite skill so that they are powerful without the stupid cooldown. You know, just like Guild Wars 1? But I guess Anet rather have those elite skills as “panic buttons” than making them more attracted to all those utility skills.

Except, Elites are terrible as panic buttons except for Renewed focus, Nature spirit, Mass invisibility(Questionable) and Tome of Courage.

some class elite skills are joke i know man at least give us utility skill’s pls

At this point of time. I would rather take Jump Wars.

I also would like this. Or at least make Elites actually elites, and not just long cooldown utility skills.

I’d be concerned what balancing havoc would occur if this went through. It’s similar to how many builds would be perfect if we had 10 more skill points.

The regular skills are already over the top so the elites can’t be too much stronger, especially given the lack of an energy mechanism to balance skills with: it’s all through cooldowns. (which is lame)

It’s unlikely they will allow elite slot to hold utilities, would make it seems like elite skills really are inferior to utilities then.

If the only reason why people use elites is because they cannot put an utility skill in this slot, then it would mean something is really, really bad with elites.
And frankly lot of elites (…most of them, even) are inferior.

Agreed

Yes it’s common knowledge, but if anet makes it so you really can take another utility in place of elite then it’s like they admit a fault and I don’t see that happening. They’d probably try to fix elites or add new ones instead.
