Guild Wars 2

Ok I swear I have researched this (and maybe I shouldn’t have to) but I can’t find the answer anywhere. How do you get the arrows to show up above the utility skills to change them quicker? I have double checked my settings and looked at my skill bar and tried putting my mouse over everything to see if there was a pop-up menu or something but I can’t find it. Thanks for the help.

If I’m understanding this correctly, those arrows should appear automatically upon hovering the mouse near the top of the skill icon. However, they will not appear during combat as you are not allowed to switch skills while fighting.

You can also change skills through the Hero interface (H) – select the skills section from the choices on the left-hand side and it shows you all purchased ans none purachased skills. You can swap them around in that screen.

Yes, I’m aware of the hero panel to change skills I was just wondering about the ability to change more on the fly while not in combat. Maybe I didn’t leave my mouse over the skills long enough but from what I’ve seen from videos and whatnot, the arrows were constantly there.

Whenever you are out of combat, those arrows should be visible, and you should be able to click them. This would open a small window containing all the skills available to you. When you are in combat, those arrows disappear, as the game doesn’t allow you to change skills when in combat.

BTW, are you high enough level to actually be able to get and switch utility skills? Or there are icons showing locks on them?

I’m pretty sure I’m high enough, unless there’s something that changes after you hit 77. Thank you everybody for all the help.

It doesn’t change after 77, and I’m not sure what you’ve seen in videos, maybe things were different during the beta or something. I wouldn’t know about that, but as of now you definitely can not change skills during combat.

Also you’re welcome. I’d like to change skills in combat too, but I can see why they don’t allow it.

Ya I figured I couldn’t change in the heat of battle but I had never seen the arrows when outside of battle either.

This is weird/bugged. Can you provide a screenshot, so we can have a look at your UI?

I’m at work atm but will do when I get home. Maybe a screenshot will prove my ability to over-look things.
