Guild Wars 2

I propose that GW2 should have a swap professions scroll.

Item:
Change profession scroll

consumable.

double click to change character to any chosen profession.
Warning if a character changes to a different armor class all armor will become account bound and placed in said character’s inventory.

cost 800 gems

I 1st wanted a change race but that would involve resetting the personal story and it might cause problems.

why 800 gems its the same as a new character slot and if some one only wants 1 character and keeps swapping arena net will make some extra money. Its i cant think that its a hard thing to do and it wont interfere with and personal story stuff.

what is your thoughts Yes, No, Maybe?

With the way the balancing team does their job this suggestion might be the most sold item in the item shop. Every month everyone needs to buy one in order to stay in the meta.

I agree with Soul.

Every “balance” patch would see a huge demand for these scrolls and an increase in gem prices. The professions have not ONCE been well-balanced since the game started.

As an example, rangers have SO many issues that they’ve been crying about since the beginning but that just haven’t been addressed. (e.g. TERRIBLE pet AI and underpowered physical DPS – which is in part due to bad pet AI). I’m sure other professions have similar issues.

I would welcome this update, but I doubt it will happen because Anet are so strict with these things. I also think gear should become account bound, but Anet probably have economic issues with that too which is why it’s not happening.

But yeah, overall I think we need something like this in place because the professions just aren’t balanced. Everyone, including myself, who mained ranger from the offset turned out pretty disappointed in the end. Would have been nice to have had that option.

As long as its about twice as expensive as buying another character slot, sure, why not?

But really, they’d rather you just ran up another character to 80 in the class you’re considering playing.

This will be a gameplay designer/programmer’s nightmare. There are way too many variables to consider.

You know…that would make them a LOT of money for a while.

Having said that, it would probably drive the economy down because 800 gems is a lot of less expensive to get than trying to make more legendaries and ascended items for each of your characters.

I dont have a strong opinion on the issue… but I read this in the bandit/thief voice. kitten it, GW2.

“Warning: if you change to a profession in a different armor weight class, you’re going to be sitting on a heap of useless gear (until you change professions again).”

I went with a price i thought ppl would pay for such a function. 800 gems is how much a new character slot would be. The gear is the only thing that would hinder this item so the account bound option was my solution. If 800 is to little how much should it be then?

With gear staying bound, I’d say 1500 is a good trade for sidestepping the leveling process.

With the swapping your whole inventory to account bound 5000 is probably too low.

At the end of the day we’re far more likely to see them introducing some comparatively simple way of buying leveling scrolls (already mentioned as coming for sPvP rewards) and the cost of a new slot + leveling up will resolve itself shortly after that. It won’t be speculation, it’ll be immanently doable.

Honestly, if you’re willing to buy gems for the end result, a new slot and buying enough gold to level yourself to 70+ through crafting isn’t that much.
