Can you avoid overwriting builds when changing build storage?

[Mike JezZ.4261]

I have a build storage for necro condi and power, but if I switch between the storages then one of the builds gets overwritten with the current build.

 

I know theres different build tabs inside the storage, but given I dont have enough tabs I use one storage for condi and the other for power, but switching between storages ruins one of the other storages build with my current active build.

It is not possible , and why I don't find Build Storages very useful.

 

How many builds do you have in total?

 

Feel free to give more details,  if I'm not understanding your situation.

 

edit: Yea I didn't really read your post correctly at the start, sorry.

For builds, you can also get a personal guild and post the build template codes into the guild message.

Yep or just use a .txt file and alt-tab to paste/copy as needed.

I use a spreadsheet, because I already had one for a bunch of other GW2 stuff.

 

I keep the builds I swap in/out most often in the build storage in-game, but I have all of them saved in that spreadsheet. I've heard that sometimes updates can cause problems with the chat codes (I think if skills/traits are drastically changed during a balance patch, or over several patches) but I haven't encountered that myself yet.

 

The biggest downside to doing it that way is remembering to update them if I change a build, but the same would apply to ones kept in the build storage.
