Guild Wars 2

Summary: Imagine you are in the obsidian sancrum arena or in a dungeon, where it might be needed to switch traits depending on the matchup. (e.g. elementalist swapping to diamond skin for a condi-heavy opponent) But to reset the traits, it might take some time, and tbh it’s quite annoying to change it the whole time.

Suggestion: Make it an option to set-up different trait builds, which can be activated by simply selecting them from a drop-down list of templates you have made. This makes swapping that much easier. (literally in 3 seconds or less)

This is something we had in GW and was highly used. Only difference was we could only change builds in towns and not in a combat area.

This is not a new topic at all and Anet has shown interest in including it into the game. Work in progress, I’d say.

Edit: found the thread where it was discussed

Yes, from the sounds of things this is something they would like to do, are planning on doing. From some of the comments made during the twitch previews where they discussed the pvp changes that came with the feature patch it sounded like templates were on their radar, but required other components to be done and in place first.
