Guild Wars 2

Not sure if there something on the forum but why not put Master of manipulation and Far-reaching Manipulation in only one trait….

In my build i use them and to be in on trait would make more sense.

I’d go for that. FRM is a hard sell sitting in the goldmine that is the Dueling line, though I still take it sometimes. I also like when they stack the cooldown traits with the “does this other little thing” traits.

I think for most players, both of those traits could replace the word “manipulations” with “Blink” and it wouldn’t change their build in the slightest. Sometimes I do feel dirty taking two traits for a single utility skill. But it’s Blink, so not that dirty.

I’d be a fan of rolling the two together, but which line would they go in? Both Dueling and Chaos have so many good traits that, regardless of its placement, some people wouldn’t be able to take it anymore. For instance, I see Chaos V, X, and XII as a necessity for my condition build, so if it moved into Chaos, I’d be out of luck. At the same time, someone who has Blade Training and Deceptive Evasion as necessary traits might enjoy having it in Chaos.

Also, I find that the traits work very well with Arcane Thievery in addition to Blink. I have both utilities on my bar, and I love the range increase it affords me. A cooldown decrease on top of that would be delicious.
