Guild Wars 2

So how does it work? Are the utility skill automatically unlocked when you have the elite specs?

As far as I can assume, the Elite Specialization unlocks will work similarly to the current unlocks in the Training Tab; there will be one training category that unlocks the Elite Specialization skills (heal, utility and elite) and another to unlock all of its associated traits. Then I reckon there will be a 3rd to unlock the Elite Spec unique skins (or that will be tagged on to the end of one of the others).

I am only speculating though.
