Guild Wars 2

I often change my skill set and traits in the game, whether it be in WvW or PvE dungeons. Sometimes I also have to change all my gear, and having to also change all my traits and skill set one by one, it is becoming rather tedious and time consuming. Do note that I have no problem changing traits and skill sets, the problem is when I’m near danger, such as in WvW. That’s when I need to be able to change traits and skill sets fast, before the enemy hits me and I’m locked to whatever incomplete mess I was able to configure out of my traits. I’d like to be able adapt to the situation, and quick traits and quick skill slots would greatly help me.

Also, this could encourage “roles” in PvP. Right now, it’s “mid” or “home” or “far” at the start. Maybe instead of that, we should call out roles you would like to play. And having quick skill slots and quick traits alleviates the tediousness of having to reconfigure your traits and skill sets every start of battle.

It’s been mentioned probably thousands of times. It’s something that they know about/are interested in adding to the game, but they’re not working on right now.

I have taken the developers recent comments to mean that build templates aren’t part of the expansion. However, it seems to me that ANet is working on them in some capacity. Apparently, there’s some reason why they think this is more complicated than we, the players, think it is.
