Guild Wars 2

DISCLAIMER 1: The change suggested in the following post is meant for PvE only. Any of the three areas of the game that belong in the Mists, are not considered PvE for the purpose of this post and should not be affected in any way.

DISCLAIMER 2: I searched the forums for a similar topic but google did not ping anything similar, so here it is. If there is an appropriate thread, move the discussion there.

As they are now, racial skills are rarely chosen by players because they were designed to be sub-par compared to the profession skills and when a racial skill is chosen, it is mostly done by sacrificing a skill that would be more beneficial.

What I suggest is that the racial skills are treated like the secondary skills present in the various professions, “occupying” the quick slots from F5 to F10. This will allow them to be always present if unlocked by the player, freeing the utility slots to be used by the normal profession skills.
