passive skills ; new perspective

Or… maybe you can exchange skill points into attribute points?

you mean your stats? in a way, yes that is the purpose of passive skills. I'm just spit-balling some more rewarding passive skills alongside that idea.

Completely off-topic... I think it's sad that great suggestions like these draw less feedback as compared to the nummerous 'I got rushed' or 'x did y to me' threads :/

here is my theory: people click on threads they can relate to. the "I got rushed!1!" feeling happens to everyone in pvp, but coming up/reviving good ideas or serious topics is not for everybody, so they dont contribute if not comfortable with it.

of course, it is also possible I am pretty much summing everything up and there is literally nothing else people can think of to add on

Not quite sure if I want this or not...I haven't given it much thought, despite reading it twice. Give me a few rather large moments, I'll think of something to say...

how can it not help? we are running out of screen space for new active skills, and we do not like how the skill cap simply gets raised. this = whole new perspective on all the possibilities of pvp and pve.

Might this "feeling" be caused by a certain lunch you enjoyed recently?

no idea what exactly the secret joke is here, but support is support.
If I had to guess, one of you got destroyed by the other in pvp no matter what you did, and therefore think a more radical strategy like those shown here might help?

Lol no and no joke.

well, had to take a guess, give more examples on the implementation scenarios relating to passive skills

**Arterra** · 02-16-2012, 05:06 AM

added a small paragraph relating to the why in passive skills, particularly in regards to universal skills. if we have dual speccing mechanics, why not allow all classes all passive skills to help solidify whatever role you choose in your party?
