Guild Wars 2

So I’ve played a handful of classes and gotten a few of them to 80, but the one thing that has constantly bothered me is the lack of truly worthwhile Grandmaster traits. Of course you have some that define builds like Altruistic Healing, Grenadier, Powerful Auras, Juggernaut. However, most of the really meaningful grandmaster traits are overshadowed by the sheer number of really useless traits. For example, Grandmaster trait: Zealous Blade for Guardians is complete junk for a grandmaster trait in the “damage” line for guardians. Most guardians that don’t want to support and just want to be high damage, don’t even spec into the Zeal tree, b/c Honor and Valor are too good.

Just hoping that ANet buckles down to makeover their traits to have more worthwhile grandmaster traits and increase build diversity.

obviously, after 4 months of testing we all expect january to march being a BIG step up in balance and fun for pvp and wvwvw.

this game is seen as pvp focused by many mmo gamers, but
it feels like it is totally lacking in content in these areas.
even the menus and rank system and team joining… a lot of things feel unfinished or simply said; simple. not smart.
gameplay is great, but a lot of things in the menus and ui are so amateurish an messy.

I agree they really need to step up the grandmaster traits, additionally I think alot of Elite skills can be complete junk in this game, my warrior was disappointed with his, but I love my engineer and mesmers elite skills

This happened because the original design of the traits was all traits being available at every level. They changed it after BWE1 or 2 without really doing the work they should have to make the tiered trait system work as it should.
