Guild Wars 2

…,you lose Fast Hands?

I, personally, wouldn’t stand playing my (insertspecname)Warrior with a 10 second weapon swap, ever.
Is anyone else concerned that this might happen? I don’t want to lose my favorite trait in the entire game.

We know specializations are getting a new trait line, and most likely it’s going to be replacing an existing one, Discipline has the most chances. That would mean losing Fast Hands! Maybe the Warr spec is getting an even better one (no CD on weapon swap anyone?). I want to try that sweet new weapon, class mechanic and whatever, but with the FH trait, or its effect.

I donno… but it’s a concern I’ve been having for a while, hopefully I’m not the only one…

If this happens I’m rerolling

I think i am already rerolling to revenant.. the skills looks so kitten good!
Just hope the playstyle is good because you cant swap weapons.. so maby it starts to be boring real fast.. dunno

Revenant wont be my main, definetly. That class, from what we know so far (and from what Izzy said in an interview), is designed to have like 0 (cero!) mobility out of combat (compared to other professions, of course). That alone is a big nono for me.

Do you have a source for this or are you just theorizing wild and most likely inaccurate speculation?

It isn’t too wild, really. Devs are saying the Specials will be having different mechanics from the Bases, along with new traits, a new weapon, and new skills. However, it is also wildly speculated and mostly accepted that going into a Special will lose something from the Base. I’ll use mesmer as an example: So, we spec into Chronomancer and we’re losing things. Firstly, let’s assume no shatters. Something else replaces our mechanic. That means things to do with that mechanic are probably out as well, for instance the Trait Line which directly affects the replaced mechanics through its profession’s specific stat[Illusions line’s Guile stat].

Parallel to this, Discipline for Warriors will likely be replaced by something new, and likely Fast Hands as well.

But remember, this is not changing Warrior’s Fast Hands, and won’t mean Warriors lose Fast Hands. It simply means that the Warrior’s Specialization won’t have Fast Hands, though perhaps it’s balanced for that.

Thus, nothing lost, your panic is for naught.

This topic is trying to make ‘Fear Me’ into a real skill.

Well this guy might be right considering the fact that yes, specializations are supposed to change our base mechanic. Current professions trait lines support our mechanic, but with new mechanic they make no sense anymore.

Its really possible that they might replace it with new trait line which means losing fast hands as i doubt they going to put old trait on a new line.
