Default Capture signet now sucks..

Just now grabbed it so that I could capture a skill and while I realize that it's a PVE only skill...anyone else find it stupid that it counts for one of your three PVE skills? Kinda put a dent in my build that lose 1 skill from switching secondary jobs and 1 skill due to only 2 other PVE's allowed.

Agree, not sure why they changed it this late in the game (with the final expansion for gw1 out). It's a good thing my ele as 100% of all normal and elite skills on her.

It's to stop PvE skill abuse when capping I guess.

Makes no difference to me, don't use many PvE skills.

Well right now I use the Kurzick/SS skills for my dervish *or remove kuzick for LOD if I'm dungeon hopping* and Finish him. This is relaly going to be a pain as I was planning on getting the elite skill title at some point for my dervish.

I haven't been using more than 1 or 2 PVE skills at the most so that's not a problem for me. Hey, a month ago you didn't even have them so adjust! Are you telling me your dervish was unable to cope a month ago?

However, I have another gripe with the Cap Sig. When I get back to town now the new capped elite stays and my normal elite is kicked from the bar. That's new and annoying!

Well the point is that the capture signet really isn't going to be all that useful most times, and really is a pain when working on the title.

It's PvE, who cares about balance? Remove the 3 skill limit

Confused... does that mean you can only use 3 pve only skills at any one time? And capture of signet has always replaced 1 skill on your skill bar.. can you still run 6 of them in perdition rock?

Also, move the signet to the other side of where your elite is sitting and it won't kick your current elite, unless that got changed too.. haven't capped anything in a while due to spending gold on armor and having maxed out the skill hunter title.

There's a 3 PVE skill limit on your bar. Sunspear rebirth signet and capture signet counts as two.

They seemed to have changed it so now the elite on the right side of ur bar remains while the left is kicked... frustrating as i've always had my elite on the left.

Do you really need three PvE skills on your bar at the same time? o.o

the three limit is VERY easy to reach when cap sig and rebirth sig both count.

I think the limit is not needed.

I've never wanted to run 8 pve only skills, but I have wanted to use the rebirth signet in combo with 3 or 4 other pve skills.

As a war I like running the Whirling attack + "I am the Strongest" + Urasa Blessing. With the limit I can't add the sunspear signet to this combo or the "Save Yourself" shout.

It's bad enough that Urasa Blessing is an elite, with the three pve limit I'm really restrained in what I want to run.

3 seams to be Anets favorite number - 3chapters - 3heros(out of 25) -3elites in GW:EN(why no dwarf/asura/vanguard elites?)

Quit yer whining....back when my character was brand-spanking-new, we had to cap skills while the boss was using it! A dead boss meant you had to re-run the mission and hope to catch it next time....sheesh....kids today.

So how on earth were you supposed to cap a stance? Was it even possible?

And to the OP: there is a giant list of normal skills for you to use. Find a couple and use THEM instead of relying on PvE skills.
