Q:
When I first started my necro and looked over my trait lines I was very surprised on how the bonus stats where divided.
First I thought that this A-Nets way of getting people to do more builds, but now I am feeling like it has the opposite effect, the way it is now forces players to do certain combos instead of letting them choose from many possibility.
Take the necro;
power/con. dur.
prec/con. dmg.
toug/boon dur.
Vit/healing
Crit.dmg./class specific
the way the stats are scatter across forces you to do only one or maybe 2 builds if you want to play a certain way, if you want to play cond. spec. you need 1st and second trait line, and if you whish to play power you want to have three diff. lines in power/prec/crit. dmg.
I belive that it will actually open up for more builds and more fun for players to match the bonus stats better, example.
power/class specific
con. dur./con. dmg.
healing/boon dur.
Vit/toug
Crit.dmg./prec
My motivation,
power is an alround stat that most builds benefits from, to group it with the class specific stat is the volvo of builds, to it safe.
condition stats is just logical.
Healing and boon duration is two “defensive/support” stats, put them together makes it easier to play a support character without having to sacrifice to much in doing dmg builds.
Vit/Toug is the survivability stats, you should be able to specc for survivability in what ever roll you want to play, power/cond.dmg./support
Crit.dmg/prec also pretty logical.
doing it this way for all classes instead as it is now, classes have the bonus stats scattered differently, would IMO make it much more fun doing builds, and I think it would make life so much easier for the developers thinking where to put the minor/major trait bonuses.., because honestly now.., I feel like I dont have any choice at all, the minor/major traits in a diff. stat bonus line from what it affect limits my build options instead of increasing them.
So what do you guys think, will having the stats bonuses grouped up more logical and matched with the correct minor/major traits increase your ways of doing builds?
