Guild Wars 2

The more I look at them the more they seem like useless traits. Unless you get downed a lot or the people around you get downed a lot it they don’t seem to have much synergy with anything. Maybe I am wrong but I just don’t see it.

I’ve always wanted the ability to pick and choose your 5/15/25 minor-major-master traits.

Well, I agree that the 15, and 25 are a bit useless for going so far in the tactics tree, but i think 5 armor per level = 400 at 80, isnt so bad considering its just 5 points. 400 toughness gives an additional 13-14% damage reduction when trying to res someone. Not so bad in in scenarios where you need to res someone while taking some damage. Albeit, i could think of tons of more useful stuff, it isn’t complete garbage.

Yeah, imho empowered, leg specialist and shrug it off could have been excellent minor point candidates

Agreed. I think they could be something like..

5: Might, Fury, and Swiftness lasts 5% longer

15: Banners have 25 to their stats (2 to boon duration/crit damage)

25: Shouts have a longer range (750)

Maybe a little over the top for minor traits but also stuff I came up with on the spot

Is it just me, or are many of our traits in general very underwhelming. I mean over all i don’t think the devs. put much thought into our trait tree.

Yeah, I find 5/15 in strength, 5/25 in precision, 5/15/25 in defense and 5/15 in disc are good. I guess that’s why I run 20/0/30/0/20 lol

That is nice, but what if you don’t use shouts or banners? And why is the shout one so much better then the banner one?

I don’t really think it’s that much better. You can already increase the banner range with a trait.

And I can’t see a build without at least having For Great Justice. I think the Tactics line is more focused on Banner/Shouts anyways because of the 30 point traits

Another problem, because stances are so weak shout seems to be the only option people have.
