Guild Wars 2

I really like the way traits are seperately saved for WvW / PvE and sPVP now. I would like to take the idea of saveable builds (and gear!) one step further though, which is why I would like to introduce another quality of life improvement:

Tadaaa (rolling drums and fanfares) – The Scarce!

You spend gold or gems on having a Scarce, he needs (and likes) to eat and drink. He will however hold to your weapon-sets and remind you on your strategies of warfare (saveable builds and build-attached gear). Scarces are somewhat fearfull though. In WvW they only dare to move to well defended keeps, in dungeons they will stay at a safe spots or close to the entrance to await their returning masters orders, maintain their wounds and, if well equiped, nourish them with salves and tonic.

Depending on how well equiped your Scarce is – did you provide him with a mule or even a costly dolayk? – he will be able to save one or more builds and weaponsets for you.

What do you think?

Being able to save builds and attach certain gear sets at NSCs that could be bought by guilds for WvW or Dungeons (raids) or by players themselves (but available only in WvW keeps of a certain expansion stage) would be a great quality of live improvement to me and allow us to easily change gear and build according to the different play styles: Zerg, Roaming, Support, Tank, etc… without having to change every single piece of equip and trait.

I like the originality of your idea, but it is really unneceesarily convuluted compared to a simple UI switch.

Something like what TSW uses would be perfect for GW2 and that invoporates largely the same intricates in the builds.

I’d go for the UI switch too, if they give us one. :-)

Being able to save more than one gear/build-set for gold/gems would be great though. I find it very cumbersome always having to change each piece of gear and each trait.

Being able to save Builds and Gear with one Click would definitely be worth the Gems or Gold to me if it was implemented in which Way ever.

(But I somehow like to imagine well fortified WvW keeps with hundreds of Scarces and Dolyaks standing around… haha.. maybe another stimulation to defend it. :-) )
