Guild Wars 2

Some will disagree with me, but some will not…

What GW2 needs is the ability to allow for multiple specs. With the new changes this seems even more perfect. Many other MMORPGs offer this feature. Adding this feature would allow for a more diverse group when running dungeons/fractals.

ANet could even make money off this by giving each account 2 specs to start with. They would be able to allow players to buy additional spec slots from the gem store (Though it better be account wide and not character like bag slots… f-that!)

What does the community think?

I don’t think anyone would disagree with this. It’s definitely been brought up before.

I think this is another way of saying you want build templates. Which even ANet agrees would be lovely, but for whatever reason are not including in HoT. (If I want to lawyer that I could say “soooo … coming before HoT, is it?” but I know better). Perhaps there are technical problems, perhaps it simply is too big a coding/art task to be doable simultaneously with the other coming features.

I wonder if the reason they put off build templates prior to HoT is because of the trait and skill system changes. What they would have built may not have been compatible with the overhaul to the system, thus requiring an overhaul to the build templates. Thus…more work. It makes sense to wait to work on the templates after the system overhaul is done.

This was asked for not long after release – a few months, maybe. Instead of selling build “favorite” tabs in the Hero panel for gems, traits were made to be modified for free OoC, though it happened much later.
