Guild Wars 2

I did not know until last night, when I unlocked “Scrapper”, that I had to use the new trait in order for me to use the new Utility and Elite skills I mainly only wanted it for the Elite skill, but I like the rest of my PVE build “as is”.

I can see how it makes sense “thematically”, and I concede that using that weapon should require the trait. But why should we need the trait to use the other skills?

Weapons are just a set of skills. Why should some new skills be okay to require the trait be slotted, and other new skills not?

The skills being tied to Elite specs are there for balance reason since you can only have one Elite Spec active at a time.
