Guild Wars 2

Why does the new mech of the elite spec must be bound to the 1st Minor.
each elite’s spec 1st minor is “you’re able to equip X”
i think this new weapon/mechanic should come with the trait line it self,
it doesnt benefit us in any way, but just give us another way to play no extra stats or anything just skill change
so
i want 3 minors not 2
ele – unlock overload and warhorn
guard – change F1 F2 F3 and unlock longbow
mes – unlock F5 and shield
necro – change F1 and unlock greatsword
rev -unlock F2 and shield

INFACT why have minors at all, we used to need them but then we could chose to have them or not.
now we are getting them no metter what. why not bound all minors to the Traitline it self.
get no lose and each trait will feel more presistant to new players who havet saw minors yet

I agree the system of Minors is a bit redundant now that we automatically get all of them when picking a trait line. They only have any relevance while levelling.

Most minors staple their effects directly on each other, like a pyramid or chain.
Whether or not they are displayed in the traitlines’ description or not, doesn’t change what they do.

Anyways, minors are there to signalize that some of your mechanics are permanently changed when picked. So while one could argue that they don’t improve anything, others would perceive the unlocking of a complete new weapon-set + revamp / addition of the class-mechanic as the most powerful trait possible.

Sure, having a extra minor to improve the elite specs would be awesome, but from what I’ve seen most of them are already decently balanced and don’t really need any extras to work with the other trait-lines…
