Guild Wars 2

We would have to make so many hard choice with the Reaper and new build system, it is somehow exciting and depressing.

For ex, Blighter’s Boon that was all we wanted isn’t, heal during Death Shroud a natural way to complement this trait is Chilling Force. Considering gaining boons is not the moto of Necro (actually I am quite surprise they related this trait gaining boon instead of placing conditions) Chilling Force seems the only reliable way to get boons consistently.

There comes the choice, Decimate Defense, I want this trait bad, I had some builds in my mind using 0 precision in gear but going to have %100 crit chance, Decimate Defense or Chilling Force, tough, tough choice…

Same goes for Blood Magic while now it is confirmed the Leeching will heal in DS or Spite giving really nice traits for crit chance builds or Curses which is giving really nice buffs to DS.

I guess only thing I can criticize now that we can only get 3 trait lines, they should really concentrate trait lines to buff one concept like Spite Buff for DS, Curses for Condition, etc…

I’m excited having choices, since it is a sign of good design and good internal balance.

This shows how much is good when there are no skill-weapon related traits only…
I managed to like it after an year or so, but still is something i would really like to see less. And reaper manages that.
