Guild Wars 2

I’m sure this is equivalent to beating a dead horse.. but..

1) Make weapon sets customizable. Perhaps give 3 weapon skill sets to choose from and let us mix’n’match. It gets boring after a while with the same options.

2) A Post-80 Trait system specifically for aesthetics that people have suggested over and over. This system can be much like the current one, but have different trees for Spell Color, Skill Looks, and possibly special weapon skins or added effects to weapons. Points can be rewarded much like Skill Points are at max level.

For the Spell Color tree, allow us to unlock different but standard colors (Starting dyes, pehaps?) on the first tier of the trait tree. On the second tier allow a different particle effect or different hues of the standardized colors. On the third tier allow us to mix’n’match colors for a brand new one. Instead of a blue guardian we now have an orange one, or a purple necromancer or a yellow mesmer.

On the Skill Looks trait tree allow gag effects to happen. It could be simple stuff such as Necromancer Death Shroud turns into a Golem for Asura, Life-force powered gun for Charr or an Avatar of Grenth for Humans but with more class-related stuff. I’m not sure how to break this one into three parts but I’m sure other players could come up with some great ideas.

On the Weapon Skins trait tree, you could allow specific class-related skins as well as race-related as well. I vote on one of the tiers being a silly weapon skin category (I love that legendary disco ball mace, we need more silly things!)

3) Dyes become account-bound. I love the hunt but only for the first two toons.

I wouldn’t mind gag visuals to general spells such as your elementalist suggestion, except with every class. Guardians with purple symbols, Necros with Lemon-colored attacks.. Another would simply be more hairstyles. I would enjoy seeing longer hair for women, perhaps some flower/vine (heh, vine dreadlocks) styles for twigs.

Celia Shadowstitch – Awesome name, awesome lore. 8.5/10

My charr is named Bura Blightbreath of the Ash Legion. After a long day of slaughtering and sucking the life force out of hapless fools, the rotting carcass aroma tends to stain her breath due to inhaling its repulsive fumes. On her off days she kicks back with some brew alongside her warband. It’s been rumored that she adds a mysterious ingredient that gives her homemade brew a little kick, but no one can quite put a finger on its taste….

I was hopping around finding copper ores in the norn starting area (name has eluded my brain for now) and around the 3rd node I was mining I suddenly got a black screen, some flashes of my desktop, and then everything became nonresponsive. I was not moving erratically before mining, nor was I getting hit.

I couldn’t find another thread of this so I’m sorry if this is a duplicate. Happened on the Gate of Madness server.

Edit: Would also like to say that I’ve never had a problem gathering materials or encountering ANY bug before this one in this game, so I’m hoping it was just a fluke.

So long story short, I’ve tried pretty much every weapon combination and found out I prefer to dual wield swords and use a rifle as my swap weapon for ranged fights. I tend to enjoy building my traits around what I like to use as weapons and was wondering if I could somehow make a hybrid support/damage build with some survivability for PvE purposes?

I was considering 0/30/10/30/0 with my trait choices of Rending Strikes, Deep Cuts, and Blademaster for the Arms part, Embrace the Pain for the Defense filler, and Empower Allies, Lung Capacity, and Vigorous Shouts for my Tactics Traits.

I would (obviously) use shout skills to help myself and allies, as well as the Battle Standard for tough situations while relying on bleed damage to fill in the parts where healing is not needed.

Do you think that this may work out if properly geared for it? (Still in the low levels so I’m not bothering with runes or gear sets at the moment, this is all in Theory). I’m thinking Vitality, Toughness, Precision stats would be most useful with this build, but correct me if I’m wrong on any part of this.

Edit: I also wanted to mark that I would bring a warhorn in my bags for extra support purposes if I would not need my Rifle for the situation (Thus Sword/Sword, Sword/Warhorn).
