Guild Wars 2

I agree. It’s either a really stupid oversight or a really stupid choice that Anet has gone with.

I think they had 1 TBD. Maybe they could wrap all three traits (Cloaking Device, Protective Shield, and Stabilized Armor) into one defensive trait?

OH YA! Dang, forgot about that one. Thank you.

Not sure where they would put it… Maybe they could couple Cloaking Device and Protective Shield as a single trait.

But again, it seems the passive defensive traits are being swept under the rug on this trait line. Not sure why. I hope I’m just missing information and these things are in fact being applied else where in the trait system.

Wow, I have no idea what you’re talking about.

I’m only guessing, but I think the “HEAL-SPLOSIONS” and/or “Bunker Down” might cover that somehow. I’d have to go back and see what was said about those traits though.

I’m a little concerned about some of the traits in the Inventions line. I’m not a turret monger, so I’m not upset about the turrets traits. I’m just hoping they find a way to keep Stabilized Armor, Power Shoes, and Automated Medical Response.

Power Shoes is one of my favorite traits. It might be the ROBO LEGS trait, I suppose. It would be great if we got the added reduction of of cripple, immobilize, and chill to a 25% run always trait. (Leg Mods and Power Shoes as one trait) But I really hope a ‘run always’ trait remains with the Engi so keeping up with a zerg wont be such a challenge.

Stabilized Armor was kinda important in my WvW roaming build to defend against knockdown and stun that was very often used on me. Coupled with Protection Injection, it made for a great passive defense from hammer builds. I really do hope they bring this back or something like it. Some how though, I doubt they will.

Automated Medical Response is something I could take or leave either way. Although, I would assume it would be a baseline trait for something… maybe in Alchemy. It would make more sense there than in Inventions anyways.

The whole Invention line is F-ed up. Seriously, what are they thinking? I hope they find a way to keep Stabilized Armor, Power Shoes, and Automated Medical Response.
