ZyniX.3589 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I know this has probably been suggested before but what do you think about picking a fourth utility skill instead of the elite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

takatsu.9416 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Agree! Just allow us to pick any skill including that one elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeolus.3615 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 as a guardian any other utilties would be be better than the elites guardian have, we only have 1 elite atm that isbazicly mandatory to run it :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OriOri.8724 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 This points to elite skills being far too weak in general for their CDs. You should almost never want to pick a 4th utility over an elite skill if skills were well designed and balanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 25% less than what they are now? Which also reminds me is the same thing on Awakened Dredg.... I mean Flesh Golem for Necro... the moment I touch water he's dead... why such a long cooldown?!

Xslare.8735 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Across all 3 game modes, as well as specific use cases such as dungeon speed clears, there are only a handful of skills that see absolutely no use. A 4th utility option would be interesting, but the argument that most elites are garbage isn't accurate. > > @Vermillion.4061 said: > > > @Aeolus.3615 said: > > > as a guardian any other utilties would be be better than the elites guardian have, we only have 1 elite atm that isbazicly mandatory to run it :) > > > > Guards actually have 1 insanely good elite and 2 decent ones. > > Guardians have a Elite other than Renewed Focus?

While most elite CDs do need to be shortened, you can't just unilaterally apply a set CD reduction and expect it to work. Some need more than that, some need outright reworks, some have a good CD, just need some slight tweaks to bring the skill up to justifying such a CD etc...

IndigoSundown.5419 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 I remember in the original game when one's Elite skill was the core of one's build. That went out the window in GW2. Yes, I'd love to see the option to slot a 4th utility instead of the Elite. On some characters, I'd still choose the Elite. On others, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidRoleplay.3615 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Agreeing with having the last skill slot allowing the selection of any utility skill but also being reserved exclusively for an elite choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovu.7560 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Us rangers can get behind that idea. =) 75s for 8s of very corruptible stab just doesn't cut it. ~ Kovu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teofa Tsavo.9863 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Yes please. My Elites are largely unused doing general world PvE. I would love to slot a skill that would recharge faster and be used more often in general play. I could always slot the elite back if planning something needing it.

Ayakaru.6583 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 The warrior has Headbutt, and the necromancer has Plaguelands. As far as the other classes are concerned i don't really care about their elite skills, and would probably choose an utility skill over them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfeather.6401 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 I would love that! Just like specializations, the last skill slot could be used to equip a regular OR elite skill. I almost never use elite skills on certain classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
