Guild Wars 2

“Also in this update, the Skills and Balance team will introduce new healing skills to the game. To acquire new skills, in both PvP and PvE, players will need to spend skill points to unlock them. Unlocking the skill unlocks it for all parts of the game. Going forward newly added skills will require skill points. Existing skills will remain unlocked for PvP.”

Thoughts? This doesn’t sound good to me. If I unlock it on my mesmer will it unlock for my thief? What about new players joining sPvP and lacking skills other players have because they are a higher level? This sounds like its completely missing the point of having sPvP in the first place.

I hope we can get skill points inside PVP

Firstly, don’t be Mr Negative, a lot of good stuff was in that blog and this is what you make a post on? Secondly, they will most probably be like racial skills, bit of flavour but not the best skills. In which case it won’t matter.

I like a lot of the sPvP changes they brought up. But this is something I find concerning, so its what I would like to ask everyone else. What would making a thread about how happy I am sPvP will have legitimate rewards solve?

I sincerely hope its not more semiuseless skills like racials, this game needs more viable skills for build variety.

I don’t understand the outcry. If you are winning you will get them. Gw1 had a system as such. Balthazar points. You get so many you unlock stuff. You spoiled brats just want everything for nothing. Work hard get rewarded.

Now with this, do they mean like.. A Gadget based Healing Skill for Engineers? Or a Spectral based Healing Skill for Necromancers ect? If so this could be very interesting indeed, I hope this is more than just some silly racial Heal and something that could potentially put some synergy into some of these unused Traits/Utilities.

You get skill points at max level from the tomes of knowledge.

It worked in GW1. I know it sounds scary for people that never played that game, but it’s really not anything to be worried about.
