Traitlines: 3 or 3+1?
Will we have the possibility to invest in 3 traitlines and 1 elite traitline or will we have only 3 to choose from?
Only three, also an elite trait line can only be put in the third slot so, in the future, when classes have more than one elite specialisation you’ll still only be able to equip one elite and two core ones.
It’s purposefully designed that way. The elites (as was so far explained) was not intended to be a direct upgrade and as such a must have. So the thing is you have to ask yourself: is the new weapon and mechanic worth giving up one of my other traitlines. And depending on how you want to play that might differ.
Oh I know and I think it’s a very good idea, it will also be much easier to balance the specs in the future knowing you don’t have to worry about a ranger being a druid, warden and a hunter (or whatever they call the other elite specs).
