Guild Wars 2

Discussion idea made short:

Should PvE skills/ traits be buffed? Post your ideas here. I know exploits may be on their way as well (a.k.a. GW1 permasin), but I do guess GW2 should be like GW1, in the state that skills should be a lot/ a bit better in PvE (such changes, rather few, were done in this manner, so others would not hurt imo)

right now there’s no such thing as a PvE skill and i think it would be great if there was a return of PvE versions and PvP versions of certain skills

Answer made short:

Yes and no. I don’t think they should necessarily be buffed, perhaps changed would be a better word. Whether that means a change in numbers (nerf or buff) or a change in words (change in functionality).

As nice as it would be not having two different skills, one for PvE and one for PvP, the two modes are radically different in the way the two modes are played.

There is already. It’s not too widespread, but it’s there. For example, the Guardian skill “Save Yourself” has a 6s duration in PvP but 10s duration in PvE.
