Guild Wars 2

I think it would be beneficial to create a feature that would allow users to save build presets/profiles. That is, save your trait and skill data to a sort of profile or preset, allowing players to switch builds and equipment quickly depending on what they’re doing.

I think the preset should show a preview of everything being changed, including equipment, so people can see stats and what not. As far as equipment goes, if an item in the preset isn’t in their inventory, highlight it in red so they know it isn’t in their bag. Presets/profiles should be independent of game type; that is to say, WvW, PvP, and PvE should have their own saves.

As far as balance goes, I think there should be some type of "rate limit" on this in WvW, so people can’t just run out of combat and quickly run back in with something else.

This is just something I came up with a little bit ago after seeing the default builds option in PvP. What do you guys think?

Easily the most requested QoL feature in the history of GW2.

yep lol i know i requested it long time ago. What i would also like for it is for pvp to use the actual build template they have for the weapons. So many times players have switched from pve to join a pvp match and end up being stuck with wrong weapon set or trying to add the right weapons but failing to add them all. I know i had this the other night in ranked. Was on my ele, we had another ele on the team so i switched to my guard since we didnt have one. My guard had his pve weapons on and by the time i loaded back into the match i only had 10 seconds to get the right weapons equipped. Needless to say i only got my sword no offhand and longbow on lol. So if they would actually let us set the weapons in pvp (not just wants in your hands currently) that would be super helpful. And once they got that done, then adding a build template like that to wvw would work too, since wvw already saves your build and i think utitlies too. Would make all the game modes more seemless and would be more worth their time doing that then some of the silly skill updates they do for casting and aftercast by .3 seconds lol
