Guild Wars 2

Welp, as you can see here , there are many blank spots in our trait-lines, currently filled with plain “To be discussed” or half-cooked traits.

So I think it would be a good idea to throw in some of our own suggestion at this point.

Explosives:
- Adept – Blast-finishers rip boons (as compensation for acidic elixirs)
- Grandmaster – You really should decide to go for the barrage. A blast-finisher on skill 1 that could (potentially) boon-rip and (affirmative) heal is too powerful. Give us the current barrage of mortar #5 on a reasonable cd and most will be happy.

Rifle-Arms:
- Robo-Legs – Please just give us the former 25% movement speed increase of Power-Shoes instead of a swiftness-duration increase.
- Rifle/speargun trait – still should get a +dmg% modifier instead of increased crit-chance, so maybe up it to 15% or 20% instead of the former 10%?

Inventions:
- Master TBD – Elixir Infused Bombs, please keep it in the game.
- Bunker down gives med-kits – where is bunker down to begin with?
- Incomming heals heal allies for x% – how does that interact with 2 engis running the same trait close to each other? Maybe change the trait-concept so it actually heals for 50%, but only of what the engi has as passive/active self-heals (regeneration, backpack regenerator, elixir-infused bombs, healsplosion…)

Alchemy:
- Minor TBD – 10% more dmg when endurance is full, or put elixir-infused bombs into this. By allowing elixir Infused bombs to trigger for all explosions (mines / pistol AA / rifle #5) most builds would gain some great synergy from this.
- Elixir Gun TBD – reduce recharge by 20% + cleanse 2 conditions by switching into EG (20sec cd)
- Med Kit TBD – reduce cd by 20% + increase outgoing heal to allies by 15%
- Grandmaster TBD – Deadly Mixtures. Unless you plan to make this baseline, it’s too good to give up. Maybe merge it with 20% cd reduction for FT, so we get a proper compensation for fireforged trigger.

Tools:
- Master TBD – “Cryo Shield” Gain regeneration each time you block and apply chill to all targets which attacks you block
- Grandmaster Gadget-trait TBD – reduce cd by 20% + gadgets off cd provide frequently applied boons (googles: fury / mines: might / PBR: protection / A.E.D.: regeneration / rocket-boots: swiftness / slick-shoes: vigor)
- Grandmaster TBD #2 – Armor Mods, would be awesome to still have that aegis access.

That’s it from me.
What ideas do you have for the TBD spots?

Med Kit TBD (Field Medic) – 20% reduced CD, med kit skills are 20% more effective (antidote now removes 2 condis instead of just 1). You revive allies faster while you are in med kit.

Alchemy GM TBD (Deadly Mixture) – basically what you suggested. 20% CD reduction and +20% dmg to EG and FT.

Elixir gun TBD (Volatile Concoctions) – Condition durations of all EG skills are increased by 20%. Acid bomb lasts longer and super elixir heals for an increased amount.

Tools Master (Quick Thinking) – all gadgets remove a boon when they hit. Gadgets grant quickness when activated.

Tools GM (Empowered Armor) – Gain aegis when struck (15 sec CD). While you have aegis, all of your attacks deal 30% more damage.

^(Alternative) Tools GM (Force Field) – You take X% less damage when you have a boon on you (Synergy with speedy kits).

GM Gadget trait (Stroke of Genius) – gadgets have reduced cooldowns. Gadgets off CD now passively apply boons at set intervals (basically what you suggested).

Sorry if this looks a bit sloppy xD
