Guild Wars 2

I like to play my Ele as Staff as well as DD ele. I would really love to play him with both weapon sets as I like to switch between long-range and close-range.

But I also see that this would be 8 skill-sets (plus zoomed weapons) which is much overpowered.

So here my idea:

• you get 2 weapon sets, but
• you get only the elemental Attunements you selected as trait.

So you may make a 3 Attunement ele, but that means no elite and no Arcane or a 2 Attunement ele with either elite or Arcane or an 1 Attunement ele with elite and arcane.

Maybe you can choose between 2 weapon sets and restricted Attunement and 1 weapon set and full Attunement.

What do you think?

uhh arcane trait line would need to offer a LOT for it to be worth taking, then. would need to be totally reworked, in fact, as it focuses heavily on attunement swapping

but yeah everything would need a massive rework for this to work at all

Arcana should be Elite Specialization and Compete(so rework and buff needed) with Tempest. Then it would have arcana skills including arcane brillance locked to it. Maybe offhand dagger or focus locked to it too.

It would deal with Elite Specialization being upgrade to profession with is huge design flawn.

Attunement switch traits in Arcane would apply to weapon switch as well
and/or elemental weapon skills (e.g. ice bow) only available when arcane selected (not because it’s logical, but because it balances the amount of available weapon skills very well).
