Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this has been brought up before, and maybe it will become reality later on, but since I like the idea, I too will ask for it
So, since nearly every line has a trait that reduces the cd and/or improves a single category of skills, an elite for every specialisation OR skill category would make the trait more interesting, at least those that aren’t already tied to and elite.
Playing mostly necro, I saw that spite-signets, curses-corruptions, souls reaping-spectral skills, blood magic-wells, death magic-minions. But there isn’t an elite signet or well, that could bring effects we lack right now.
I think that, with the help of the community, this could lead to new creative abilities, that wouldn’t make hard distinctions between skills categories that don’t end with an elite and those that end with one.
What are your opinions about this?

Yep an elite for each skill type would be nice.

Aye, and a healing skill too, to round out the choices. Such as a healing and an elite Thief Trap. There are a few blanks for all professions.

Having something for the sake of completeness tends to lead to shoddy additions. Trait lines proved long ago that you can only have so much practical functionally within the frame work….. and having filler is a bit insulting in a lot of ways.

Racial skills are a perfect example of this. They didn’t want racial skills to be more powerful then class skills. This is admirable philosophically, but it effectively means you put in inferior skills for the sake of having them. The counter argument is that racial skills add flavor…. but if we don’t use them, whats the use of having them even as flavor? I would rather have racial skills be entertaining if they aren’t going to be effective… and frankly only a few currently have any fun potential.
