Guild Wars 2

I see people talking about them, the same way they talk about skill points, as if they’re going away. I can’t find anything about this, and would like confirmation. Thank you.

They are getting a bit “useless” considering the fact that while you can lv your toon up to 80 you wont have any utility skills forcing you to explore world for “hero points” as skill points will be turned to some mats (rll? i have over 7k of scroll skill points..)

true, but at least they’re not getting turned into mats for the mystic forge.

I’m still curious if they can somehow be used for our masteries. I guess ANet wised up that everyone horded skill scrolls and tomes for the expansion.

Not true. Seems you missed the part of the article saying “A level 80 character that’s done none of the hero challenges should be able to unlock more than enough skills, specializations, and traits to make several unique full builds.”

That does mean you’ll still have to get Hero Points from the world in order to get ALL of the skills and/or traits. However an insta 80 will still have quite a few options, and if you know what type of build you want, should be able to unlock all of the relevant skills/traits for that particular build.

Kiiten..i forgot about this part. Ty for correction. That said we still have to explore the world to unlock everything to actually experiment with many diff builds.
