Traits

Wow a lot to read. Thanks Lady_Lala

They brought back the luna atra skills calculator, love it.

Except the real thing will be better! :O

I hope its not a big hassle to see what each trait might give you so you don't have to stand by the trait re-distributor in order to test builds...
^About my only concern.

I could see the level cap being raised in expansions. But I doubt you would ever be able to max everything.

+way to over poward too lucci way over powerd in ranger trait wise freaken +100 armor and dmg and +300 health XD tho u can make a very good fighter or liver guy....... +100% dmg and 100& crit strike XD

Also every five points in a trait-line gives you the ability to pick a trait which is kind of like a perk in Call of Duty if you know what that is. And there are waaaaay more traits per trait-line than there are trait-slots.

The trait system almost made me want to go Warrior, but the later HoM titles look better on things like Elementalists and Guardians, I think... totally playing an Elementalist rather than Guardian now though based on the traits. I hate being squishy, but they give me a lot of useful stuff for not getting knocked over in 5 seconds if I try to play Dagger/Dagger (which is friggin' awesome on Ele, by the way.)

I want to kill stuff 10+ levels over me just so I can laugh about skill walls and gaps.

You get 5 characters slots at start so why not try them all

Killing stuff that is just 3 levels higher than you is pretty damn hard.

I'm going to eventually have one of every class, that is for sure.
For starters though, making Archy, Finn, Guardian, Mesmer, and Elemenentalist, then maybe buy a slot right away for a Warrior too, and leave Necro and Engineer for last.

I'm the kind of person that tends to focus all of my efforts on a single character for a really long time. I've played Guild Wars for 6+ years and I've always defaulted back to my Ranger. I might make alts way down the line in GW2, but I know that I'll be glued to my Elementalist for a while.

Or my Guardian... I'm going back and forth with it in my head like crazy. I guess I will have to really try at least both of them. Honestly I'm just trying to find a class with a large skill gap and the ability to, when played right, take down enemies a lot tougher or higher leveled than myself while playing solo or in a very small group. I've got this thing about doing unusual, often unnecessarily difficult stuff.

I hope I focus on my ranger, I want her to be the first level 80. Ever.
Because that's likely...

I just want her to be a boss above all my other guys
