Guild Wars 2

Are the Racial skills getting a skill type too? There is also rumours floating around that they will be removed but I’m hoping not. Skill types for these skills would be good too.

Maybe they’ll get their own skill type.

I’d prefer them just to see some minor cooldown reductions than a skill type. As then there are obvious choices as to which race picks which class. Some of those racial abilities are actually quite good. Adding types to them would be weird.

I would be fine with them having their own type. Unlocking would be another issue, since we don’t know of any racial reward tracks. Assuming they’re not removed, maybe they’ll just be free for new characters.

My honest ideal would be for brand new characters to not have a profession at all.

Spend the first few levels with just racial skills, as you go through your racial story. Then you choose a profession around level 10, and go through a profession story arc, (which I feel is a dreadful omission from the current game). Then your order, and so on.

It would even be neat to have a “personal” elite spec line, with traits unlocked according the various choices you make. It wouldn’t have to be strong, merely full of flavor, just like racial skills.

But I’m just dreaming…

give us racial elite spec and racial skill unlock track
