Guild Wars 2

I’ve been reading up on the news lately, and I’ve seen mention of new class skills and traits, that will be unlocked by completing specific goals and events around the world. Obviously this is subject to change, and far down the road at best, but regardless I can’t help but feel excited!

So let’s set aside all the trolling/buffnerf/opup mayhem for now, and brainstorm up various ideas! Who knows, maybe one of them will even inspire an actual in-game skill, eh?

1. Shout Out
I’d love to see an elite shot make it’s way onto our skill list. My ideas include “ON YOUR FEET!” Which rallies the closest downed person, “CHAAARGE!” which provides AoE Swiftness and Stability and “FACE ME COWARDS!” which inflicts AoE cripple.

2. All Manners of Banners
Either a trait that allows for a banner to be worn on ones back, or a portable version that functions like an engy kit, toggle on/off.

3. Adrenaline Rising!
I’d love to see the addition of new depth and complexity to our adrenaline/burst mechanic. Not a buff to power, but more options available. Ideas include:
An F2 based on your offhand weapon
An F3 general skill regardless of weapon
An F4 transformation skill that uses your adrenaline bar as it’s duration

4. For the Traiter Good
New traits that provide more fun options, including:
Alternatives to Reckless Dodge, Thick Skin, Revivers Might
Defensive Bursts-Grand Master Defense: Gain 1.5 seconds of protection per adrenal bar spent.

Add your own ideas!
