Guild Wars 2

Out of curiosity, I’m just wondering what are the most and least used Skills for our profession. This is my first survey so hopefully, I didn’t mess it up. It’s just for fun.

Link to Survey: http://goo.gl/forms/PnmRzM2FAS

I’m too poor in-game to offer gold like other surveys have done in the past, but if ever I see you fallen on the battlefield, you’ll be the first ones to get fondled back to life. Don’t ask what I would do if there’s multiple of you, because I don’t know

Thank you everyone that participated. Also, any feedback is appreciated
And, sorry if this kind of stuff isn’t wanted on these forums. If so, I’ll delete it.

Cool Survey! Just two small things…

• Maybe you should ask for current build*s* in the subheading since most people don´t run identical builds across different game-modes

• I found it funny that you have Spear and Trident on the list of weapons =P

And they dont even have high votes…

1 – Yea, I thought about it afterwards, but I wanted to keep it general, just want to see which skills are more popular and which ones are forgotten across all builds. Also, this being my first survey, how would I add that? (Or just grab a list of builds and make multiple choice?)

2 – And for those, I forgot them there >_< I don’t know if I remove them it’ll mess up all the entries or not

Thank you for the feedback

staff + dagger / x non surprisingly the only real weapons poeple use.

Beside specific utility improvemnts (aka spectral grasp stoping to fail 70%), we really need weapon skill improvements, namely a ranged power set.

Poor signet of undeath lol.

It’s not that it’s bad. it’s just that when you’re the one who gets focused, it’s kind of useless to bring it.

Focus just isn’t good enough IMO. The #4 skill needs to do something other than regeneration. It’s literally just a damage weapon currently with no utility.

Nah, don´t worry about it, I was nit-picking =)

I think most people wont be bothered by those things and will just tick all the skills/weapons they use frequently, regardless of builds (that is what I did at least).

As for the results so far, not really any surprises there if you ask me.

I like this idea.

Is it ok if I select more than 3 utility skills since I switch them pretty often?

Also, I suggest adding a “racial elite” option for elite skills. I don’t play sPvP and I use a racial elite because I don’t like the necro elites.

You should have made a seperate indicator for mainhand and offhand dagger, since right now most necro builds will have dagger in some format, but they tend work best on different builds, but not always.

Modified it… It did delete the entries though Oh well, learned something.

I added Racials. Thank you

Yeah, the changes kinda screwed the results. Now it looks like nobody uses Dagger

Yea… I wish I could manually adjust it :/ I didn’t think it would delete it. I do remember ther was 39 entries for Dagger though.

It´s not that big of deal I think. Since only a fraction of the player-base visits the forums, the survey isn´t representative anyways. I also think we all more or less agree that dagger/x and staff are probably our most commonly used weapons right now.

Other than that the survey provides a really nice overview on which skills/weapons are currently underused/deemed worthless and that is important imo.

Which is what I was aiming to see

This being my first Survey, I just stayed with 1 profession. I’m thinking of preparing surveys for each profession so we can have a small sample of which skills and weapons are underused and which are more popular.
