Guild Wars 2

When i say category i mean skills that fit into a type such as signets, tricks,glyphs,shouts ect.

I remember when they wanted to add elite specialization they wanted to categorize all skills that didn’t had a defining category such as some healing skills, or guardians elite tomes.

There are few things i noticed today about this however…

1) Some skills got changed completely such as guardian tomes turned into a signet and a shout….i guess its done so they can fit into a proper category.

2) Some skills still dont have a category. Shelter, ether feast, mending… and revenant categories just go with “legendary xyz”… whats up with that? Or are they just too powerfull to be effected by traits and cd reduction? Wasnt that kinda “fixed” with increasing the skills cd? Thiefs withdraw skill was a 15s cd skills. Now it is 18s cd trick. Having the trick cd reduction its back to 14.50 sec cd

3) Shouts were originally (both in the original and gw2) skills that effected allies or foes in a wide area around of the player,it was instant cast and couldn’t be interupted.
Now while most old shouts still play out that way, some new shouts as well as shouts that got changed during this period of time got a casting time on them… from 0.25s up to over 2 second of casting time…

4) I thought someone mentioned the new elite specializations would get a new set of skills with a category the core profession didn’t had. But then Berzerker gets rage skills, Daredevils get physical skills that (some of them) dont really look or feel like a physical skill (throw dagers is a physical category? Use the skill to use it again a few times later? you mean like a mantra?, Scrappers get gyros and well..revenant gets legends.

Dont get me wrong, i dont have anything against any of the skills i just mentioned…i just noticed and wanted to point out that the skills weren’t categorized as they wanted it to be ( i assume that was the point of doing all the changes to the skills and elite specs at that point of time?) . Maybe im just overthinking it.
