Making specialization weapons permanent


Recommended Posts

Has ArenaNet ever considered this? 

 

What if when we spend the 30points to unlock the specialization weapon, we permanently unlock it for that character regardless of whether or not they have the trait active. (This would not use the specialization's core mechanic or their heal/utility/elite skills, only the weapon). 

 

This would open up so much more gameplay styles. They could even increase the weapon cooldown by 20% (for those that don't have the trait) and then add the 20% reduced cooldown trait in the minor adept trait. If they are concerned that the initial weapon would be OP as a core weapon.

Yes they have. The reasoning they gave for locking the weapon access into slotting the elite spec is that it allows them to tie the weapon skills to the elite spec mechanic and not having to worry about how weapon skills synergize with other elite's weapons/mechanics/utilities.

 

Just imagine a shield-wielding mirage ...
