Guild Wars 2 Suggestions

(Discussion)

I want to choose my primary and secondary, then when I craft some armor I would like to be able to choose any armor style that would be available to either profession but no matter what armor I choose they all have the armor rating and bonuses that are associated with my primary profession. Ok to put it simply and this has been bugging me for a while. During my time playing Guild Wars I have repeatedly noticed that there is not enough variety between the armor in any specific class. A perfect example of this is that while I was playing my Assassin I wanted an armor style that looked like Krytan armor for a Ranger. The general idea here is that no matter what my professions are i would like to be able to wear any style of armor in the game, and still retain the same armor stats. So I could be a Warrior primarily but look like a Necro and still have the armor stats of a Warrior because that is my primary.


Why this is a good idea
  • More diversity in armor assists with the cloning issue we see throughout GW1 when it comes to character appearance and equipment 
  • Increased customization will enable players to feel more of a connection with their character which may lead to more responsible playing styles 
Why it may not work out
  • Second professions can be changed

  • Warriors Shouldnt look like Necros, Monks Shouldnt look Like Warriors, Paragons shouldnt look like Assassins, Dervishes shouldnt look like Mesmers, think about it
