Guild Wars 2

I hate to always create such negative posts at Anet. I’ve said some pretty unhelpful things but I always try to redeem myself and add something constructive. This idea isn’t even fully my own idea (obviously) but is somewhat of a common resolution to balancing itemization in other games where the item pool becomes a little more specific concerning who can buy what (melee/ranged-only items, etc).

The reasoning is because an amulet might be really strong on one profession but might be fine on another while offering more build diversity on that other class as well. Removing the amulet because its too strong on another class will hurt the build diversity of the class it wasn’t op on. (if that makes sense)

So to just make things easier on he devs to add some build diversity and keep certain professions in check, just make certain amulets available to certain professions. Afterall, “Different classes are different”

Example

Profession A
Profession B
Profession C
Profession D

Celestial Amulet can be used by A and B
Clerics Amulet can be used by B and C
Soldiers Amulet can be used by C and D

And whatever makes sense for that class. Maybe soldiers can be used by only one profession or maybe it can be used by three professions. However the balance team sees fit.

NOTE: this doesn’t mean we have to categorize all Amulets by profession. The majority of amulets should still be nonrestrictive (as they are now/available to all professions).

And for ease of access, just make another category tab under amulets called “Profession” which will list all the amulets your profession can use that might be restricted to other professions.

Make an example: Celestial can be played by Elementalists.
You will bring back the only reason they’re no more meta.
Also you will bring back the bunker meta.

I’m happy about this meta, still if I’m a main necro. I would really like to play the Celestial Build on my reaper, but that amulets bring too much bunkers in this game.
We already have a lot of hybryds and DPS bunkers in this game.
We don’t need more.

I don’t know if I explained it poorly or not, but that example is the reason for this suggestion. Your example is an example of what not to do. lol. The entire purpose of the suggestion is to keep certain amulets out of certain professions hands while allowing others to use them.

God forbid the eles get a chance to fight back 1vs1 and not be killed in the end by anyone playing any other class, without diamond skin eles were already unable to fight condi specs 1vs1..lol you need to reduce their chances to -0 to be “happy” about balance
