Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

Allow skills from multiple secondary professions at once. (Discussion)

Rather than have a character with a primary profession and a single secondary profession, have characters with a primary profession and then allow them to use any skills they've learnt from other professions. For example, a warrior might have both empathy and mending on his skill bar.

  • The warrior would still have the same number of attribute points to spend.
  • The primary attributes from the secondary professions would still be unavailable.
  • Runes and armor would be based on the primary profession as now.
Why this is a good idea
  • Better role-playing. It doesn't make sense that a character would suddenly forget how to use Empathy just because he's started using Mending.
  • It increases the skill combinations a player can try.
  • It gives characters a reason to learn skills from less used secondary professions.
Why it may not work out
  • ANet may have trouble balancing the increased combinations.
  • The large number of attributes over which a player could spread their points could be awkward to manage.
  • Skills with no attribute may get abused.
  • Yea! Why the hell no?! Because it'll make people invincible! That's a farmer's heaven! NO BALANCE! Try to imagine a 55 with both Visage and Mystic Regeneration. IT'S MADNESS!
