Guild Wars 2

Greetings!

I feel that what is missing, is the ability to swap build depending on style which I want to play, during the match, after recognizing enemy team composition, with just one click.

Let’s say, at this moment the only solution which I have, is to create two characters and swap them before the game starts (same class, different builds).
This sometimes cause problems upon re-logging and reduces character slots.

I would like to have the option to use just one character and have the ability to save 2 or 3 different builds on it and load the one that will suit my needs for the match, instead of re-logging characters. That feature would have to save information about equipped weapons with sigils, rune, amulet, traits and utility/elite skills.

That could bring a lot of more challenging battles and unexpected, exciting results!

Maybe the way which I described the feature isn’t really in tact with technical possibilities but the spirit of the idea has been shared.

Are we going to have such a feature within December updates?

On a thread somewhere, I think I read a comment from a dev saying that it wouldn’t be fair, if you could just switch build when seeing an opponent in WvW. But I’d totally support this, if it’s only in pvp! It would make sense, since we will no longer be able to swap professions to adapt in the beginning of the match.

Please Anet. People need this. It wud be fair. It separates people who understand builds vs people who don’t. Adjusting for team comp already happens and its not unfair. Switching out is normal. Otherwise remove the ability to switch all together. If not this suggestion is polish. Please make a build save spot in pvp build section. It wud be the best thing ever PLEASE <3

It’s confirmed it’s coming. Just have to wait.

especially with the new system where you can’t switch characters anymore during the match it would be nice to get a feature like this to communicate with your team at the beginning what role everyone plays and quickly change your gear on that.

It existed in GW1 at about the 1.5 year mark. It’s been brought up numerous times, obviously unless it has a gem cost it won’t be happening. This, along with a few other things, should have been in the game at launch. 7 years developing a game that was supposed to follow up from a previous game that had these features and they just didn’t have enough time to squeeze it in. Priorities you know.

^ Yet they told us they’re working on it and that it’s coming.

I would like to see an answer to my question from a dev representative.

Build templets! +1. This has been posted before lets hope ANET can make this happen even if its only for sPvP. The trusty pen and paper is getting tiring :P

when was this confirmed? this would be so big.

i remember when they brought “PVP Build” they said on forums: “we dont have this yet, but PVP Build brings us so much closer”.

Have they confirmed that it’s actually in works?
