Elite Skills? Couldn't find a straight answer. **PLEASE READ** - Guild Wars Forums

1.Once you capture an Elite skill from a boss, can you change it later?

2.If so, then how do you go about changing it? Do you have to kill a boss and capture it again or does it simply remain in your skill list?

My problem is I want to use one Elite skill for PvE and one for PvP. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance!

Don't really know what you're talking about.

If you mean after capping your elite skill, can you change it later in an outpost? Then yes, they can be changed like normal skills. They remain on your skill list.

So once an elite skills is captured its not permanent, right? Thats my biggest concern.

once you capture it stays and your skill list and you can remove it from your skill bar like any other skill. only one elite skill can be used in a skill bar. also you lose your signet of capture.

if that doesn't help

Then do you have to buy a new Signet of Capture from the skill trainer to capture a second Elite skill?

Btw, thx a lot for the responses guys~!

No its not permanent. Pretty much nothing but customization is permanent in GW. You can change it along with any of your other skills in outposts.

You can only use one elite skill at a time (if you try to add an elite when you already have one on your bar, the "old" one will be removed).

Edit: Yes, every Elite Skill requires another sig of capture. You can buy multiple signets of capture, and even have multiple signets of capture on your skill bar at once.

You can remove an elite skill from your bar in the exact same way that you remove a normal skill from your bar. First you return to an outpost and/or town, then you press k, then click and drag it off your skillbar.

Though its usually easier to just drag a new skill over the top, because you will want to replace it with another skill.

If they were a permanent skill bar addition it would have made the title for capping them all a real challenge

There are also quests in each campaign that gives your two free Sigs, I believe.
