Guild Wars 2

With the upcoming Expansion it is time to give the core professions some attention to at least make them an alternate elite spec to use. Many have come up with ideas such as making an elite spec for the core classes or even use a current core trait line and retool it to an elite spec. I have no suggestions and this merely a shout out to get the attention they need.
You can even simply just give each of the core classes their own mechanic which separate the from the rest of the elite specs would be easy enough.

Anyone can feel free to add with an idea.

They kind of already do…… but the Core specs, by intent, are not focused the way Especs are. There are still a lot of strong builds that only use Core Specs, but harder content (Fractals/Raids) specifically benefit from the greater utility focus of most Especs.

Honestly they don’t need new mechanics, its more that each core class has a blind spot in their setup (by design) in order to push group cohesion. What the HOT Especs did was fill those blind spots with a highly focused build theme, giving them very satisfying, and much needed build diversity.

If anything needs to be tweaked, its that some core specs have obvious best in slot choices, largely due to that class having poor internal synergy. I’m looking at you Ranger.
