Guild Wars 2

please.

i liked it back in BWE1 where you had four (or was it five?) slots for accessories… but none of them had stats. you used gems to get the stats you desired. it had the same exact “stat total”, but, it allowed you to customize stats to your desire.

sometimes, i want to build a little tankier, but simply slotting another gem doesn’t work for me. the current system is really an “all or nothing” with the stats on the necklaces.

doing this will allow the people that want to go full glass cannon to continue doing this; but this also helps the people that might want to build tankier or add more a specific stat without losing a huge benefit from another stat.

i’d really like to see this rolled back to the BWE1 state.

yeah i agree,
it really gives u not much choice for your points atm.
in my build im forced to go heavily on vitality although i would prefer toughness, but there is no gem / accessory that would support that ( i won’t go into further detail, but believe me, i tried many things )

i would prefer the PvE-system 1:1
meaning each armor has its stats (berserker’s xx / Cleric’s xx, … ) + runes (superior rune of the warrior, etc. ) + 1 amulet + 2 earrings + 2 rings + the thing for the back (dont know how its called :/ )

would love to see that ;P

Agreed!

If all the gear options are still of the same “tier,” then there shouldn’t really be a problem with doing this.

I honestly think some of the balance complaints we are seeing would go away if it were possible to get better stat refinement rather than having to sacrifice traits which we might prefer (so as to deal with problem x, y, or z) in order to get those extra stat points in some other trait line.

Of course, I suppose it could introduce some more unbalanced builds as well, but I feel like the net result would be an improvement.

Yesssss bring them back
