Guild Wars 2

With specializations making trait lines all-or-nothing, there’s pretty much no reason to consider grandmaster traits as “a goal” for investing deep into a traitline. All tiers of traits will require the same investment to get (1 of 3 specialization slots). As such, the only thing that separates adept tier traits from grandmaster traits in terms of accessibility is order of unlocking while leveling in PvE. Not that it really means anything, it just makes the feel of those traits feel… cheapened. Does this feel wrong to anyone else?

Somewhat, but most of them never really stood out over adept and master traits anyway – in the same way that elite skills can be compared to utilities. Oh well, less choice here we come!
