Guild Wars 2

I’m wondering if I can do without the extra 3 max Initiative, but I do lack experience. How important is this trait really?

You dont really need it in PvE.
In PvP its strong, depending on the build and what you wanna do, but its completely not mandatory. Ive played a couple of builds running acro>trick and I cant say I missed preparedness too much.
Just play without it if you wish, it will not completely obliterate your gameplay.

In PvP take trickery. It’s not just preparedness you’re losing, it’s a bunch of utility and support that’s useful for your team.

In PvE you don’t have to.

Doesn’t the ghost trapper go without Trickery?

I think they need uncatchable as a non-reveal damage source.
But besides: nobody likes them.

Should be baseline. Since ever.

Thanks everyone.
