A new approach to an idea I had earlier:
In short:
Weapon Trainers – in cities, train you to use new skills for weapons your class can use.
or
Weapon Skill Unlocks – more skills will unlock at after default skills are unlocked only at a slower pace.
Weapon Masters – Hidden throughout Tyria, teach a specific skill for a specific weapon at level 80. These skills give a character a feel of power
These skills are swappable with the default weapon skills, same as utility skills.
A bit more:
Lets use a greatsword for example. It has 5 skills to it. At different levels you can learn from weapon skill trainers a few new skills that you can swap out with the starting default skills. Even better though, hidden though-out Tyria are Weapon specialist – old combat legends – that will teach you an even more advanced skill for a weapon (only at level 80). These skills are more flashy than the default ones and give a player a feeling of progression to combat as they level up and the feeling that a character is becoming more skilled with their weapons and powerful.
Another idea to the acquisition of weapon skills after your default skills are unlocked and would be that instead of weapon trainers, weapon skills would unlock the more you use a weapon. The weapon would level up so to say but in a horizontal manner rather than doing more damage. Maybe only certain unlocks are available at each 20, 40, 60 interval.
Make some noise if you’d like to see this implemented!
