Guild Wars 2

First of all, this is my first post on this forum, hi all the players and greetings arenanet, i think you are doing really a good job on this game, keep up the good work and let us entertain, and sorry for my bad english.

I was thinking, what about putting more abilities for each weapon? i mean, you have always to choose 5 ability among 10/15, that way you could personalize much more your “build” and gameplay so if you see a warrior with a two handed sword you don’t know what kind of abilities he chose, that would means more variety and fun

all IMHO

Totally agree.

I’m only level 14 and bored of my skills already. Doesn’t help that every 2 handed sword is the best item I own, so I would be a fool not to use the best tool for the job.

Agreed. In Guild Wars 1 you could mix and match your entire bar and the skills were based on attribute points you’d allocate to certain attributes (of which were required by every weapon).

I’d much rather go back to that system than this one. Doing the same moves over and over is already having the cool factor wear off.

Already? LOL play for 300 hours atleast before you start to whine. They will most likely add more weapon skills in the expansion that comes out next year.

Because clearly a request for a basic feature addition is whining. Take your elitist attitude elsewhere please. It’s a valid request numerous people have made.

You can’t really request new weapon skills when you’re only lvl 14 and played for 3-4 hours. Do you even know that you can swap between weapons in combat? Attunements if you’re Elementalist.

It’s a valid request, but not for someone who’s only lvl 14 and played for 4 hours. People requested more weapon skills when they had played for like 300-500 hours, not because they was bored with the weapon skills but because they needed more customization so they can play differently from other warriors with a Greatsword for example.

If they add these skills it will require alot of time to balance all the new skills with the weapon and they have to do it with every weapon for every class. It’s not a simple request.

I’d rather see ArenaNet working on game updates with new lvl 80 zones and dungeons, balance PvP classes and buff some classes in PvE.

As i said, this will most likely happen in an expansion that comes out late 2013.

Been requested many times before but as always, /agree

If you want more skills try engineer. They got 4 more toolbelt skills which is more than enough especially if you use weapon kit like grenade, bomb, etc which add even more skills.

I like the current 5 skills limit per weapon.

Too much skill is just ridiculous.

thanks for support guys, yeah i saw there are many classes with more skills then a warrior, i played it for over 200 hours , i did much pvp on spvp ( rank 13 ) and WwW, i’d like to custom my gameplay much more, it’s just like one of you said, it’s not that one get bored, sure it can happen, but it must be a way to improve costumizzation, and sorry man but if you are only lvl 14 you still have not see even all skills in the game, at least reach lvl 80 and make some pvp, it’s not a critic, but you still don’t have all utlities skills and i bet you got even all weapon’s skill, and i think it’s normal, anyway if they would come up with an expansion it will be good, i’m not asking to put them immediately, but if arena net says “we ’ll put them” it’s just fine for me

@Sentinel read carefully, i’m not asking to increase the limit of 5 skills, i’m asking to increase the “maximum” number of skills, example, they put 20 more skills for 2h swords, beetwen those 20 weapon skills you still need to chose only 5 among them just to get more variety and costumizzation, think if you got 20 skills and you can choose only 5 maybe another player will not put the same skills like you, so if you find a warrior or an ingeener and see his weapon you can’t know what skills he is going to use.

I see, so it would be like customizable utility slot for weapon skills while still maintaining the 5 limit slots

In that case I don’t oppose the idea.

I believe (hope) it will be implemented someday, along with the possibility to swap (and save the changes) skills from a weapon between weapon slots 1-5.

For the later, it would be pretty simple to just keep sepparate saves for each combination a profession can have. That way you could even swap positions between main and offhand skills…

New skills will take some more time to come, altho I’m pretty sure they will come. Now the feature to allow weapon skill swaps could really be implemented as soon as possible.

Sheesh…I just wish they would fix the bugs on the skills we already have…..especially before any additions/expansions gobble up their resources needed to fix them.

What difference does it make if he is level 14 or 80? the game could use more skills. Yes, you can attune as an elementalist, but why should if the traits encourage you to stay in one element? If you guys want to ask for dungeon content and pvp balance, create a topic and post about it. The OP is about more skills per weapon (and by the way… that belongs to the suggestion forum).

Having said that, try to find a weapon that you enjoy, or a good combination of skills. For example on my warrior I also have kick, bolas, and stomp as secondary abilities, to have more abilities to use and it rocks. In general, try to use less situational skills.

edit.. by the way, by level 30 you will have all the slots unlocked except for the elite ones, and that even depends if you have been hunting skill points.

I think there should be a pool of weapon-specific skills, from which you choose your 3/2/5 (mh/oh/2h).

Builds are way too generic in this game compared to gw1.

I would like to see the secondary professions return to the game. Maybe use the F5-F8 keys as secondary skills. For example a Warrior/Ranger would have F5 as a 30 second pet, F6/7 as traps and F8 could be a Ranger skill related to the weapon you are using.
