Guild Wars 2

Hi,

This is just a suggestion but I was wondering if there was a way the game could put in a way to save builds. I understand that this is not “Guild Wars 1,” but I can’t help but reminisce about the convenience of being able to save certain builds so that with one click of a button I can just revert to a different build that serves a different purpose i.e., a running build, farming build, etc etc.

If such a system were implemented in GW2, I think it would be interesting to see a tab much like in GW1 where players would be able to scroll down and see a list of saved traits/skill sets. Players would be able to instantly change builds to standard tanky WVW frontline builds, or change to glass cannon full dps PVE builds instead of having to alt tab out, look up a build, write it down, then change it in-game as circumstances would dictate as this could be cumbersome. I know many gamers here do not play this game often enough to be able to fully memorize all builds as gaming is, for me at least, a fun past time and escape from the rigors of work place grind. A system that could allow instant access to builds players have created or looked up would definitely save time and make things much, much more convenient.

Again, this is just a suggestion and something I wanted to open up for discussion to get community input as I believe this is the proper platform to do so. Also, I am not sure if this topic was already discussed, so feel free to direct me towards such a thread if this is the case. What are your thoughts?

Yes please this!!!

This is something that I’ve wanted since beta.

On a related note, your build that you have in WvW is now separate from your build in normal PvE now, just as the PvP build you last used is “saved”. This is very convenient, and greatly appreciated, however it would also be great to see actual build templates along side this function.

Gear templates would also be great, so you don’t need to individually swap out every accessory, weapon and armour piece when you want to change into a completely different build.

Big plus! Definitely a need!

Just one of the many useful and wanted things that were in Guild Wars 1, that somehow, for some unknown reason, did not get included in Guild Wars 2.

It really makes no sense at all.

god, ive wanted that since i started playing this game x_x

Agreed! It shouldn’t be too hard to implement I guess (not too easy either:P)

But I hope this will be in HoT release!

Definitely one of the features that I couldn’t believe they left out, after how demanded it was for GW1, and how popular it was once they finally implemented it.

Oh god so much this.
It beggars belief that this isn’t a thing.

makes me excited to see the gw1 vets speaking up for what we know for a fact was fun!!

come on all the big kids have it!

Been requested many many times. We even had a dev at one time ask what we would like to be included with said template (PvP forum though). Since then it has been quite silent on the dev front, much to the chagrin of the entire GW2 community.

Count me among the many that want it!
