Guild Wars 2

Teleniel.1809:

Your points were spent to make a nearest approximation to the current build you had when the patch went live.
That involves a few things:
1: what support/healing/elite skill(s) were you using at the time? need to spend points to unlock all of those again
2: what trait line(s) were you using at the time? need to spend points to unlock all of those again
after that remaining things were left un-spent (I had level 80’s who could afford fully unlock that were not)

If you are level 80 you can buy everything (and likely to spare).
If you are sub-80, you will /soon/ be able to buy everything
if you are unhappy with the build you have, you shouldn’t have been using it before the changes, because you have your nearest appx.

Prior to the update, I had specced in Air, Arcane, and Fire. I had chosen specializations that gave me speed when equipped with daggers, increased damage when low health, and extra damage when downed. After the update, I’m maxxed out in Earth, which provides nothing that even remotely resembles any of those abilities.

I’m unhappy because my character’s specialization is absolutely nothing like it was before the update. It’s not a “nearest approximation”, it literally does not resemble my previous spec in any way.
