Guild Wars 2

Does anyone else feel that they should allow us to pick from 6 skills from every “skill set”? Elementalist Conjuring weapons give 5 (4 utility, 1 elite) but no heal skill weapon.
Necromancer signets give 5 (4 utility, 1 heal) but no elite skill weapon.

I feel it would give us a lot more diversity in builds and also in trait selection (by having a complete set of utility-skills that are aided by traits). I don’t think it’s that much work either compared to making a whole new specialisation…

Examples for Elementalist:

Heal skills

Conjure: Conjure Ice Flask: Gain a set of Ice flasks that can provide water and ice fields, proving condition cleansing, regeneration, resistance and a lot of healing to other players.

Elite skills

Arcane: Arcane armor: Gain Arcane armor, lasting 10 seconds. Makes all your attacks crits and gives you retaliation (1s) each time you get hit.

Signet: Signet of the Elements: Passive – Gain the aura of your attunement every time you change attunement (recharge 20s)
Active: Give yourself the aura of your attunement and 4 other players around you.

Examples for Necromancer:

Heal skills

Spectral: Spectral Halo: Gain health each time you get struck, heals X amount.

Elite skills

Well: Well of Vampirism: Stun for 5 seconds. Bleed your foes, giving them chill and vulnerable. You heal from their bleed damage. If chill damages them, you gain that health as well.

Signet: Signet of Famine: Passive – You inflict poison and chill every 5th strike. Active – Give yourself Famine, which makes you heal from all your conditions and turns them to Quickness, apply said conditions to your foe.

Examples for Mesmer:

Heal skills

CHANGE ETHER FEST TO GLAMOUR? I mean why is Ether Fest uncategorised?!
/rant

Phantasm: Summon an Illusionary Medic that heals your wounds, while distracting the foe.

Elite skills

Phantasm: Summon a Chronomancer phantasm that applies Alacrity to you and allies, and Slowness and chill to foes.

Mantra: Mantra of Delusion: Meditate, charging a spell that gives your foe Delusion. Delusion makes your boons useless for its delusion. Delusion is the opposite of Resistance and is now a new condition.

It’s especially noticeable in the “missing” Elite slot for some skill sets.
I mean, it’s extra work, but each skill ring should have a heal, 3-4 utilities, and an elite. Otherwise it’s pretty lopsided.

I believe that the way has been prepared for that to happen, now. Whether it will is anyone’s guess. Based on the few skills added to the game between launch and now, I’d not hold my breath.

I’d be happy if they took out the elite only slot and let us put any of our skills in there. I don’t think I have any elites I use on a regular basis.

I’d LOVE this! I want a necromancer that can summon all 6 minions…
Heck, I want to play Necromancer minion build so badly, but I simply can’t due to kitten AI…

AI is reportedly fixed as of a few weeks ago.

And yeah, wouldn’t mind a ‘freebie’ elite slot. I don’t use mine that often, and it’s even worse under water.

Added some idea’s for the best professions in-game (I’m a magic fanatic…).

I SECOND THIS. Or.. rather.. fourth this. Oh, please, make this my Christmas present.
