We need templates.
Yes please templates are really a good idea
Yeah, been waiting on this for a loooooooong time now. Should’ve rolled out with the Elite specs, imo, since some of ‘em drastically change the way your character can be played. Here’s hoping this gets implemented before the next expansion. I’d love to be able to instantly switch between Healer Druid and Condi Ranger when out of combat.
its not as much about traits as it if about weapons armor trinkets runes and sigils for these yes templates are cool but skills and traits are easily changed on the go.
Switching traits can be a bit of a headache unless you’re really familiar with the class, and even then you can forget which line has what if you just choose one spec and stick to it (as I imagine most people do).
This topic has come up fairly often over the years, but rarely makes it past a page of replies. For what it’s worth I am honestly surprised they haven’t added and monetized this feature. I could see most people happily paying 600 – 800 gems for each additional build set, per character even. It would quite literally revolutionize the way we play.
nah we really don’t.
besides, what build are we going to switch to if 3/4 of our traits are garbage?

Im chrono zerker for fractals and open world, lets see i want to change to condi mesmer well thats 1 full grea set, a set of runes, sigils for that armor also a scepter, a torch and a pistol, change to my traits, abilities, asc trinkets. I have to raid tonight well let me change to minstrel for tanking okay thats a full gear, runes , sigils ,trinkets… yeah do i even need to talk about what will happen when expac 2 arives and with it a whole set on new elitespecs?
would rather anet buff traits/skills before making a build template. it would kitten me off to see them design a whole program for a bunch of horrible build choices.
@ Stand The Wall: Think about this, perfect balance will never happen. No matter what arena net will do when it comes to traits, one will always be superior to the other choices. And there is on fact that still stands, the hazel to switch between builds won’t be reduced depending on if we have horrid or good build choices.
So for now I really want to have build templates, all that switching when you jump from pve to wvw is so annoying. Not to mention you could have frontline, backline or roaming builds, but at the moment managing even to builds with two sets of gear and skills is already time-consuming enough. Managing three builds is more or less impossible. And it might even become a bigger issue in the future with more elite specs to come.
