Attribute/Loadout Favourites (or Favorites...)
If anyone has played Tribes/Tribes 2 they'll be aware of the quite excellent Favourites system. You could set up multiple loadouts in terms of weapons/armour etc and switch easily between them by pressing hotkeys.
I think such a system would be good in GW as well. You would be able to define attribute sets, as well as armour loadout, skills set and item/weapons and save that configuration to a particular hotkey. This way you could quickly switch roles while in a town/outpost instead of taking the current long route of manually reassigning all the points, swapping armours, putting right items/weapons in place, configuring skills etc.
This would be handy for example Monks, to switch between Prot/Healing without having to go through and manually change everything each time. Also for people who change secondaries often, or use different layouts in different places.
It would help with the "wait, don't start the mission yet I'm going to take 10 minutes to sort my skills" syndrome also... well not quite 10 minutes, but it would virtually eliminate that since people could set their layouts at any time beforehand and just switch when needed with a keypress.
Would be very useful for PvP as well of course.
