Lightbulb Skills (Lessen the Grind)

A little bit of background first. I have two accounts and between the two I've created and delete many characters. I don't really play any PvP, so unlocking all of those skills really doesn't give me that fuzzy feeling that it should.

What I propose, is a system where PvE characters have access to all of your previously unlocked skills. These would ONLY become available for your secondary profession and ONLY after completing the path for such profession.

This would lessen the grind by a hundred fold. Been there, done that, please Anet, let me benefit from the time and money that I have spent on collecting these skills!

I've unlocked 4 classes fully and have 25 skills to go for all pvp unlocks.

Meanwhile my PvEs I'm doubling, tripling and in the rare case quadrupling unlocks to play them how I'd like to play which is just insane.

This would be a GOOD thing (especially if they plan to keep us short on character slots :b which is a BAD thing)

Exactly! If you think about it, skill unlocking is unbalanced towards PvE characters. PvP only ones, get to keep all of the ones that they unlock, while the PvE character is at a disadvantage, since you basically have to start over from scratch each time that you make a new one, after the fourth time, where's the fun in that?

I am sure ANet could do this in such a way that level 3 characters did not have access to them.

The skills are designed in such a way so as to be roughly equally effective at a given level. The only exception would be access to Elites... but that matters little. In addition, you have rushed characters getting access to all the skills anyway... so what's the problem?

Perhaps you could limit access to all skills to post-Searing. It would keep pre-Searing as friendly as possible for new players, who wouldn't have to worry about all those new skills and where to get them and such.

Personally, I accidently deleted my level 20 PvE Monk (who had all the skills for most of the classes on him, and which I used for PvP) with 105 spare skill points and all the skills I had for him. It really sucks grinding to get all those skills points for my new level 20 PvE Monk (who has also finished Hell's Precipace and all the secondary profession "path" missions) so I can bring her into a variety of PvP games in different environments again. ^^'

I'd like for my PvE characters to have access all unlocked skills IN THE ARENAS.

That'd be nice.

Make it so that the skills only become available after you ascend with that character or something, or maybe even beat the game.

Did you not read my post? I said that all of your unlocked skills would become available only for your secondary and only after completing the path for it. In case you are not that far into the game, the path quests allow you to change your secondary profession and these are only available after you have reached the desert.

Now, if you've had someone run you all of the way to the desert at lvl 3, more power to you. Those elites will probably not be effective anyway without any attributes to put into that line.

For all of the others that feel the way that I do, thanks for the support.

After ascending, and completing the secondary profession quests...

DEAR GOD PLEASE!!!

It is quite rewarding to gain a skill for the first time and see "skill unlocked: name of skill" flash on your screen. Then, you've actually done something.

After that, though... It makes for a hell of a time playing that second, third, or fourth character and having to buy skills that are already unlocked.

I'm confused...
Glad's Defense - easy, its right in a mission
SS - easy, its RIGHT outside Rankor. Just rezone until its the first group you fight
SoJ - somewhat difficult. Just get a runner to the area its in and you can do the rest with henchmen...

It's bad enough many of you run through the content already (nice rush to droks) you don't deserve the easy unlocked skills as well. Bout time you earned something with EACH different character you played.

Read the original post again deathqueen.

It says AFTER ascension, and only from the prof change quests. They are only available to the 2nd prof after it is changed.

On a side note, i can see it's usefulness right now. /signed.

I still stand on what I said as many of you that gets run thru the content anyway, you deserve to have to earn something ascended or not makes no difference. Time you paid for your cheating the content. (smile)
