The recent announcements from Anet that they are going to be changing a lot of how the skills in this game works has gotten me both intruiged and worried.
I have multiple characters that I am not afraid for, except one.
It’s the character where I have plowed everything I earn into how he plays.
His traits balance perfectly with my highly hard-to-get/rare/expensive armour, back item, etc. to the point that his spread of skills and traits and armour are like a flowing coral reef system, if one thing is changed, it will crush the point of another and why I got it in the first place.
What I am worried about is specifically the part where Anet says (in reference to traits) :
“First off, we’ve got a ton of trait changes coming up. Many traits that were less than desirable have been brought up in effectiveness, while others have been shuffled around and merged together to make room for new traits to be introduced.”
Now to me this says two things, a lot of less useful traits will be enhanced, but also that they are going to get moved around, possibly into other “categories” (like down power line instead of condition damage line, etc).
If this is the case, my build, and indeed all the work I have put into my character, getting specific gear, will be potentially renderred useless to me as I will have to rebuild my character and his gear almost from scratch.
Am I being oversensitive or is this something I am just going to have to deal with? Will the changes be as great as I am forseeing?
(the class i specifically refer to is mesmer)
