Phoon.9854 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 My wife was getting more into fractals and pvp but her build for open world isn't suited well for fractals. And changing it, or using up a character slot sucks. It would be nice if you could set up multiple builds per character for different options and be able to switch with a click. I know I don't want to go through all that trouble but I get my butt handed to me in my normal build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current system only does traits, you still have to swap gear/weapons if necessary and/or carry multiple sets for each mode.Also the traits have to be swapped in OW, Raids and Fractals because they use the same build mode.

Ototo.3214 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Yes, build templates are in the works. They probably won't change automatically just by loading into WvW, but hopefully they will let you change gear with a single click when they come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the other gear sets have to sit in your inventory when it's not equipped, legedary armor still has the convenience there. And the current way of individually stat changing every piece of legendary gear is arguably more tedious than just right click equipping different ascended gear. Templates will make legendary gear less tedious and continue to save inventory space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanadrine.4352 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Build templates that have a box that opens and you have like 4 slots that you can assign a build to and name it..pvp/wvw/open/raid. Once you have a build you set it, and when you want to swap to it you click the icon for that build and it flips everything over to it. I can dream cant i?

I genuinely don't care how many bag slots I have, I hate having to carry around 2 extra sets of gear in my inventory just...on principle, basically. I hate looking at it in my inventory. That's why I like legendary gear. The Copper-Fed Salvage-O-Matic takes salvaging a lot of gear to technically pay for the cost of itself, but I don't think many people would say it's not convenient. Besides, many people make legendary stuff for the aesthetic, not necessarily the convenience. So even if you want to argue it's not convenient, it's still not worthless. (Though the new runes/sigils are arguable)As for the second part of your reply, I believe you edited that in while I was typing my reply on mobile and I didn't see it. Though I'm also not entirely sure what you mean by it, you can already stat swap legendaries. Unless you just mean that they might make it so you can stat swap all of them at once, which I wouldn't be opposed to. Though many builds don't want all the same stat combination on everything and I'd imagine it would just be easier to include gear in build templates and let you just pick what stats you want in that template once. I'm under the impression that they want these templates to work kinda like the PvP builds, where that also includes your stats. Maybe it is just wishful thinking but I can't imagine Anet isn't aware of how many people want gear to be included in the templates.I also wasn't saying those were the same thing, I was simply saying that, currently, without any build templates, it's very tedious to stat swap all your legendary gear assuming you have a bunch of it, and that in its current state it is arguably more tedious than if you didn't have legendary gear and just right click equipped a different set of gear from your inventory. So having build templates that can switch the stats on legendary gear for you would ultimately make the gear more convenient than it currently is.

If they introduce swapping gear from inventory into build templates, it (legendary eq) will be worthless.Just because you think extra bag space isn't convenient doesn't mean other people don't. And you can have max bag slots and legendary gear simultaneously, I'd still like to use the inventory space for more than lugging around extra gear that I wouldn't need if I have legendaries; if I want to have 4 different gear sets to switch between like I do on my ranger, that's up to 42 bag slots I can avoid having to waste on holding gear that could just be legendary gear. That's at least an entire bag slot consumed by nothing but gear. I'd personally rather have an extra 42 inventory spaces for things like identifying more unidentified gear at a time. I find that convenient. I also find it nice not having to see my other gear show up in vendors. And I find it convenient to not have to use invisible bags to prevent it from showing up in vendors and then making it a nuisance to deposit any stray materials or salvage any stray blues/greens that end up in the invisible bag. There's some examples to elaborate more past the "on principle" statement you feel a need to cling to. And my point that build templates with legendary gear would make stat selecting the individual pieces of legendary gear less tedious still stands, to me that does nothing but make legendary gear better by simply having build templates that function with it. If you're fine with your inventory being clogged with stuff that it doesn't have to be clogged with, fine. But that doesn't make legendary gear worthless to other people. Even with build templates.

Sobx.1758 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 AGAIN, that's why I wrote this:"...or maybe they'll include the equipment stat change for legendary stuff, which would explain why they didn't implement templates before L.runes."Also that's why this sentence starts with "...OR", go reread the whole post and try to understand the context this time.Also, again, you added nothing -about legendary gear being included in build templates- to what I wrote, you just keep repeating what I already stated because you failed to understand what I wrote and somehow you thought I didn't know that we can manually swap stats on legendary gear. :lol:And yes, if they'll include auto-equipment-changing-from-the-inventory, it'll make legendary equipment mostly obsolete and not worth the effort. The only way to do it is to include legendary stat swap in build templates and not include lower quality item swap. But hey, I hope you're right and they totally do it :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
