This is a compilation of missing utility skill types. Missing any type of utility skill ruins the overall experience and customization for trying to build around something and limits players or forces them to cope with less than ideal alternatives. There are even some skills that aren’t assigned.
.
For example, you want to go full signet on Elementalist? Sorry, there’s no elite.

Elementalist – Healing Conjuration. Arcane Elite. Elite Signet
Warrior – Mending Unassigned but technically should be Physical. Healing Banner. Elite Stance. Elite Shout.
Ranger – Healing Signet. Elite Signet. Elite Trap.
Necromancer – Spectral Healing. Elite Signet. Elite Well.
Guardian – Shelter Unassigned but could be consecration. Healing Spirit Weapon. Elite Consecration. Elite Spirit Weapon.
Thief – Healing Trap. Elite Trap. Elite Signet.
Engineer – Elite Gadget. (Only missing the 1)
Mesmer – Healing Clone / Phantasm. Elite Mantra. Elite Clone / Phantasm.
Revenant – Has everything because his entire utility bar is linked to legends (Would have broken the Legend essentially if any were missing)

Certainly some of these aren’t thought much of (Idk how many people still use spirit weapons or thief traps) but giving players the option and full set to mix and match as we please is essential to build diversity and to not force other skill types that don’t matchup with ours, like elites (have you ever wanted to make a build, but essentially all the elites available are useless / not what you want?)

Every single Elite spec that has come in has come with a full set of utilities. Why should the existing gap be ignored?

I’d certainly like to see these get updates, especially for healing and elites to round out a few things.

Many alts; handle it!

Well now that they have announced the new elite spec’s, in paraphrase their own words “our goal is to expand the way you play with your favourite classes”, then by all means finish the core skill set. That’s quite a bit of missing skill type support.
