Guild Wars 2

If coding for traits, skills, and weapons is what is making this feature take so long to be implemented, why not just make custom build templates for traits only since that’s the most time consuming part? And then we manually change our weapons and skills until you can finally update the custom build system to include weapons and skills.

I know this has been a feature that has been requested since like the dawn of civilization, but given the recent poll on profession locking, the requests for custom builds takes even more urgency and is long overdo. I am just saying that I would be placated (temporarily) with just custom build templates that only save traits, since that in itself is progress over what we have now.

The reason why build templates don’t exist has less to do with PvP which is barebones and all to do with its implementation in PvE and WvW. They could do it now but they will kitten off PvE which is significantly more important than PvP.

If that’s the case, they could try to claim they were testing the feature in pvp to later export to pve and wvw. It makes a lot more sense to put this in pvp first, because you only have 60 seconds to change your build before a match starts, but in other game modes, that isn’t a problem. PvP really should be a priority for this feature.

I consider the introduction of custom templates a prerequisite for character locking in ranked PVP! Additionally templates will foster build variety.
