Guild Wars 2

I would approve, only if the changes would be implemented at the same time the tome specialization is released.

Tomes do serve purposes, albeit at rarer opportunities than Renewed Focus, as well as being something inherently cool. Currently, nobody is suffering because of the skill options that the guardian has at the moment, and many people (those who do use tomes, and those who appreciate tomes just for the sake of unique effects and voice acting [which is amazing]) would be wounded by their removal.

In that vein, it sounds like we already have the foundations for another guardian spec. I’m looking forward to it.

If this is being brought to attention because of the impending trait overhaul (and condensation of traits), it would be just as easy to compact some of the existing tome traits into fewer, like how the Warrior is getting “signet mastery”.

I have to voice my stance against this. Dark Jericho has already said the major points.

As negligible as something as this may seem, it is flavourful. Surely there is some way to have the trigger for falling screams accommodate for the gliding system. Removing them entirely is dismaying and seems as if it would only appease a vocal minority that would get seriously upset about it, if such a group exists. So far it has existed for almost three years and has only delighted those who witness it (and perhaps find ways to consistently manipulate it). There has always been the dialogue volume slider.

I think you’re on the right track, more towards the end. For what purpose would they be? I don’t think many people’s thoughts will be different from yours, unless they’re indifferent about it.
