Guild Wars 2

Creating a suggestion to liven up warrior burst skills.
This suggestion actually goes to all classes but I wanted to start it out with warrior since its a class I have some understanding of.

This suggestion was inspired by the skill rune systems of both sacred 2 and diablo 3. Not sure if other games have similar/better systems but these two games are ones I have played.
Each burst skill can be “runed” or traited in guildwars 2 lingo. But an easier mechanic might just be having an arrow like utility skills and an accessible pool of skills per weapon’s burst skill slot.
Basically each weapons burst skill slot will have its own unique pools of skills to customize for flavor. One being base skill and the other four offering both flavor and incentive to use them. Hopefully the hammer/mace stuns replacement suggestions will prove as both fun and not too horribly op alternatives. Feedback on those will be interesting for sure ;-)
