Please, please, please may a way to save builds.
This has been suggested time and time again, but Guildwars is reluctant to add it. Make a way to save current weapons, armor, utilities, traits, etc. I don’t mind paying the current 3s to retrain your traits. If that’s what it takes, that’s what it takes. At the moment I’m using paint to save pictures of my builds and flipping back and forth to copy what I used.
If you’re confused where you would have store your equipment / weapons, fear not. Say you make a “Build” tab similar to your current bank system or spvp preview equipment if you will. See attachment. Your equipment will be stored in this tab and not in your bank. To remove the item from your “Builds” and back to your inventory it must be removed from all builds. But what if you use the same equipment for a different build? As soon as you use the exact same item twice it becomes, for example, “Shortbow of Accuracy Copy”. If you remove the copy, just the copy is removed from the current build. If the original is removed, it removes any copies from any of your builds. Swapping builds would also display the warning similar to "You are about to change builds. Doing so will cost “x” to retrain your traits." Then display a OK/Cancel box.
You could even turn this into something profitable for Guildwars. For example, you could, by default, grant everyone 3 “build slots” and for 1000 gems add an additional “build slot”. And by “build slot” I mean, similar to mentioned above, a bank row that consists of everything needed for a build.
Guildwars, this is an incredible opportunity for you to add another useful and probably profitable idea to the game. In summary, currently the game lacks a way to save builds. Which forces players either to write on paper, guess, or use other means to remember what they used. Similar to spvp spectator you should be able to allow others to preview your equipment by, say, shift clicking your build.
Thanks. Maybe I’m behind on times and Guildwars has already announced that they will add something different; hopefully, I’m not and others have the same idea. Feel free to leave feedback below.
